If Lou had hit that 3 after he shifted Lebron he would've been on hoopmixtape for all of eternity lol

 

shift team

I don't know about you BB, but JV looks pretty good on the boards right about now.

[Orgfiller]

His handles are probably a big reason why he doesn't.

 

I'd say his handles are arguably as good if not better than Derozan's, and the latter is excellent at driving to the hoop.

[GD]

T Ross has underrated handles. His best games come when he's driving.

 

LOL @ JJ

Agree with JV but there is no way Ross has better handles than DD. Ross can only dribble with his right hand and has that carry motion to it. He's great at catching and shooting though which is what this team needs him for.

[GD]

His left is fine. His handles are between his knees and tight, smooth and quick. From a 6'6" SF his handles are pretty good and when combined with his speed / body control he could be extremely effective driving.

[GD]

Every time I watch 2Pat play it's terrifying how much I play like him, lol

[GD]

.... travel...? um...

[burlingtonbandit]

How the f*** was that a travel?

I disagree. And let's not pretend like DD has amazing handles. I'm not saying Ross has Kyrie-levels of ball handling but he's somewhat explosive and is a threat to pull up in your face if you slack off too far. If he added that part of the game to his repertoire he would be a much better player, not only a catch-and-shoot type.

Damn Lowry is so good at taking charges.

[Orgfiller]

Holy f***, Kyle Lowry is the master at taking charges.

I play a lot more like JV although my offense can resemble that of Chuck Hayes' at times lol.

The problem is when he puts it on the floor he turns it over. He needs work with the left hand. He has flashy crossovers from right to left but his overall dribbling is poor. The good thing is he is still young and can improve.

I'm weird lol, my entire game resembles 2Pat's exactly except my handles are like a guards' lol

 

That up fake baseline drive floater is something I use literally every game

What position do you play?

[GD]

What position do you play?

 

Power forward. 6'4" at JV age (not playing this year cause my legs can't take my coach's run 'n' gun style lol).

[Boxcar]

holy f*** i hate lebron james

With my friends I play like LeBron with Shaq's rebounding skills but in actual competitions I tend to play a lot more like the guys I mention.

[Orgfiller]

holy f*** i hate lebron james

 

Lol, he's annoyingly unstoppable and any time he messes up the refs are almost always there to help him out.

[GD]

Ok with my friends I play like a 7'2" Kyrie Irving lol, last Friday I bounced the ball off my friend's head before putting it through his legs, hesi move to break a double team and finished a contact layup, that doesn't count lol. Gah I wanna play OBA.

 

You just KNEW that spin jumper was going in

[John_Havok]

Refs really taking control in the 4th... 6 fouls on the rAps with still 7 minutes left and none on the Cavs.

[burlingtonbandit]

This exactly.

[GD]

Raptors versus Refs

[GD]

that was like 8 over the backs on Lowry lol

[Orgfiller]

So Lowry gets bodied on the glass and no call?

[burlingtonbandit]

These calls are pretty weak. Sure they are fouls but not always called.

[GD]

Hallelujah

[Orgfiller]

A foul! A foul!!!

[Orgfiller]

Lmao, ironically the worst call is the one that gets a whistle.
