THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Vincent Van Goat]

B Sox what kind of tribute they give Scary Terry

 

[JD617]

First time in a decade a team has blown a 30 point lead.

 

[QU!K]

With the volume of 3pt shots in the modern game, a 30 pt lead like a 15 pt lead in the 80s/90s

 

[nick.]

Not yet. He's a bit clumsy though I guess being over 7 foot and coming off the ACL he has good reason

His rebounding and rim protection

The rim protection will always be there. I'm surprised his rebounding is up as much as it is lately.

Is it taking away from his offense?

I was saying the same thing earlier in the season. The 3 point phenomenon changes the way we think about leads

Not just volume but the speed of the game

He'll take some weird out of rhythm shots, especially when he tries to post up (and far from the paint)

He's getting wide open looks with Luka in the lineup just not hitting. The way he's going to the rim with Luka hurt is an improvement

My idea was that his "added muscle", which is noticeable, could be affecting his jump shot

Whats the biggest comeback in nba history?

First time in a decade a team has blown a 30 point lead.

Well then, in light of this new information, I revise my previous statement to “big early leads of less than 30 points can be dangerous.”

Nuggets blew a 36 point lead against the Jazz in '96.

I wouldn’t say “blessing”, but many times it pretty much ensures that the team with the lead will lose focus and stop playing as hard.

How often do you see a game where a team goes up by 20+ in the first quarter/early in the second where that lead holds up the whole game? Very rarely.

so i was just joking famb.


tough to tell thru text, i know.
