I DGAF what they are staring at, I'm not looking at them. I find it hard to believe you played competitive basketball at all, let alone in college, as you claim.I believe the pressure of 5 famous NBA players staring at you while you shoot free throws would affect SOME of the posters on this board. Guess we don't agree on that, that's cool.
I absolutely did, but I'm not here to measure ##### like you seem to be.I DGAF what they are staring at, I'm not looking at them. I find it hard to believe you played competitive basketball at all, let alone in college, as you claim.
He's looking worse than I think he has all year...but he hasn't looked good all year either for more than a game or two.@Instinctive I haven't seen much Mavs ball this season. Just based on this Clippers series, seems like there's a decent amount of work to do on that roster to give Doncic more support. I've been pretty astounded at how crummy Porzingis has looked. Is this just an anomalous 4 games for him?
there they areY'all might think I'm pulling for Dallas considering I predicted neither LA team would win a series this year, but this is heartbreaking. Where's the Clip team that showed up in Dallas? Just... meh.
PG is scared to play the hero. Passing up an open court situation to feed Mann was cowardice.Hard to believe that Terrence Mann/Nic Batum interaction didn't work out for the Clippers.
Another Strawman. I never claimed I'd win such a contest with Simmons.I absolutely did, but I'm not here to measure ##### like you seem to be.
Gotta give Playoff T the chancePG is scared to play the hero. Passing up an open court situation to feed Mann was cowardice.
What? My ONLY argument was that SOME people in this thread might be affected by an NBA crowd, court, players, and NOT be able to hit 6 of 10 FT's in those situations. Do you disagree?Another Strawman. I never claimed I'd win such a contest with Simmons.
Astonishing your reading comprehension may be worse than your basketball takes.What? My ONLY argument was that SOME people in this thread might be affected by an NBA crowd, court, players, and NOT be able to hit 6 of 10 FT's in those situations. Do you disagree?
Ya, you definitely never played a minute of ball in your life lolAstonishing your reading comprehension may be worse than your basketball takes.
But do you think you would? Ftr, I think I would. I set my HS's record with 88 in a row, 1980. A fund raiser, not in games. The annual free throw-a-thon. I wasn't good enough to play at a small college, Chico State. But coach wanted me to ride the pine. It was too much work and I just wanted to party. I shoot around in the backyard every day. I haven't practiced free throws in awhile but they're pretty easy. HS girls team I coached shot 68% from the line... Ben.Another Strawman. I never claimed I'd win such a contest with Simmons.

Yep, not sure anyone in here said Ben is good at FT's.But do you think you would? Ftr, I think I would. I set my HS's record with 88 in a row, 1980. A fund raiser, not in games.

the #### measuring was you bragging about your "playing/coaching career" and then acting pompous about it.I'd absolutely win a FT contest. I was referring to the **** measuring.
Yeah, but he is better than a handful of people on a message board, the ones who never played, so he's got that going for him.Yep, not sure anyone in here said Ben is good at FT's.
No, it's zero accomplishment being better than people on a message board. But someone claimed every person on here was better. I said he is bad, but still could beat some people on this board. What exactly are you arguing against there?Yeah, but he is better than a handful of people on a message board, the ones who never played, so he's got that going for him.
Congrats?
I never bragged about it. You made assumptions on my skill level without even knowing anything about me. I felt stating my bona fides was called for.the #### measuring was you bragging about your "playing/coaching career" and then acting pompous about it.
Link?No, it's zero accomplishment being better than people on a message board. But someone claimed every person on here was better. I said he is bad, but still could beat some people on this board. What exactly are you arguing against there?
I would put money on every poster in here against him in a free throw contest
.Link?
And you made assumptions on mine without knowing anything about me.I never bragged about it. You made assumptions on my skill level without even knowing anything about me. I felt stating my bona fides was called for.
I have her on ignore because she continues to troll the guys I have on ignore.
Fair enough. Well now you know where the whole "everyone in here could beat Ben in a FT contest" came from. That was all it ever was.I have her on ignore because she continues to troll the guys I have on ignore.
I know you think standing next to tall guys would affect your FT shooting and didn't even mention the most obvious extenuating factor.And you made assumptions on mine without knowing anything about me.
I said it very quickly as one of the reasons I think some people in this thread (maybe myself included), might struggle to hit 60% from the line if they were thrown into a game. Basically that I thought some people (not all, and maybe not you), wouldn't shoot as good as Ben.I know you think standing next to tall guys would affect your FT shooting and didn't even mention the most obvious extenuating factor.
I'll PM you. This whole thread would prob have the time of their life trashing my school.Hi Deamon, where'd you ball at?
Yeah, maybe I've been spoiled by the soccer threads, but this may be the worst thing going in the FFA (politics subforum included).If this is what it was like then I’m glad I stayed out of this thread most of the season. Dear god.
I DID IT!Let me overreact to the previous overreaction - after two games the Clippers looked dead. Now, they may be the favorite to come out of the West.*
*Although now I will jinx them and they'll lose the next two and be eliminated.
Randle struggled big time in this series. He was very good during the regular season but that had a lot to do with him being the best player on a team devoid of serious talent - so the offense flowed through him. He's solid pro - but not a star.I say this as someone who watches limited NBA so maybe this is a hot take or on point but man, Randle was not good in that series against the Hawks. He looked unsure of himself, was easily frustrated and started being chippy the last 2 games. Maybe he's angry at the rest of his team, no clue but what is the story here? Wasn't he a stud during the regular season?
The only consistent thing on these boards.Guys, this thread sucks every year.
