[tramericanjr]

It’s sooooo annoying …. If he plays well they win the series … he’s been bad in this series

 

[friscostylez]

Buccs got da Suns exactly where they want them

On NT

A healthy ad/ and Lebron would of killed this superteam talk I’ve seen floating around after game 2 ….. they do have very good young pieces alongside cp3

 

[gvhp2223]

even kobe Brick-Layer bryant would shoot better than 31% better in the Finals. Not a whole lot better, but better nonetheless.

 

[gvhp2223]

$5-Steph
$4-KD
$3-KG
$2-Allen
$1-Paul

Brick-Layer-B should be $1.50.

If it's the NBA Finals, Brick-Layer-B should be $0.10.

Just ignore him, we all do.

Y'all see what CPO is doing with Book imagine what he would've did with prime Kobe

Imagine Book x Luka

Missed opportunities

 

[Peep Game]

Ooooh this was great

No doubt in my mind. I don't think the sneakers are doing what their supposed to do which is to help these athletes perform at the highest level. What's the last significant development anyone can remember on the shoe front? Last development I can think of is Nike's Shox technology but I don't know whether that was more of a gimmick than utility.

Gimmick. There was some science behind the design of the Shox providing an “energy return”, but it’s was nothing I noticed actually wearing them. I’m guessing most others felt the same since Nike stopped making Shox basketball shoes (except for retro-ing the BB4s).

There really haven’t been any significant performance developments in hoops shoes that I’m aware of. Continued use of lighter weight materials; trying to incorporate post-consumer materials. Experiments with adaptive lacing. Nothing close to game changing.

Everything these shoe companies do is a gimmick.

Vast majority of the footwear is terrible for our physiology In the long run.

Shox were a mixed bag - there were simply not good at energy absorption, if you had a lighter build it would return the energy to your knees. VC had a bad injury with the full length Shox but switched to the low profile Zoom/Shox after and had a lengthy career.

I legitimately wish sneaker companies would go back to leathers, with both active cushioning 'Air/Gel' and a mid cut.

i wish this part was true

I wouldn’t even go that far. Rare time where everyone (Suns, Hawks, Mavs) won from that draft.

Lebron was healthy.

Lakers weren’t in that series until CP3 got hurt.

Going out sad

I would, Luka>Ayton by at least a mile (maybe generous)

 

[clyde the glide]

Booker and Luka would be an interesting combo to say the least. I think they got it right with ayton.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

PHX definitely got it right with Ayton considering they already had Book. If they hadn't drafted Booker, then Luka would be the right pick, hindsight being 20-20.

Ayton will be an All-Star for years to come. And imo, DA been the Suns' most consistent and most valuable piece in their entire playoff run thus far

 

[booie403]

Booker and Luka would be an interesting combo to say the least. I think they got it right with ayton.

That would be a suped up Walker and Pierce.

 

[aepps20]

Why did they take his team then?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That would be a suped up Walker and Pierce.
