  1. Sorry bro, someone beat you to it lol http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/topic/14081-rose-ecstatic-over-development-of-3-point-shot/
  2. I actually think you have that backwards. Wall has the right idea with almost all of his passes, but a lot of times they either come as a surprise to his target recipient, or the pass is just too wild and ends up not going straight to his designated target. He has the right idea, and with the development of his chemistry with the team, those mistakes will lessen immensely.
  3. I know you're new, so I'm going to say this the nicest way I can. Don't ever make a thread like this again, it's been done to death and we're all tired of seeing it. Thank you.
  4. Awards are always controversial, I don't really see the need for them.
  5. Unfortunately Darren Collison left the Summer League to go back to UCLA to work on his degree, so Wall is matched up against Maurice Ager. Wall's playing decently so far, not as good as he was last night but definitely decent.
  6. This is just getting ridiculous... I hate Lebron as much as the next guy but really...?
  7. Well with all due respect, Boozer did have one of the top point guards in Deron Williams to take over games, while Jefferson was the star player on the weak roster of Minnesota.
  8. For those who didn't watch and will only analyze his game based on the stats you are seeing, don't even bother. Anyway, here's my analysis. The Good: Wall so far has completely taken control of all 3 games he has played in so far. He plays like a veteran NBA player has proven to be a true point guard finding open teammates at will. His quickness is seemingly unguardable, and he can get to the rim and finish at will, as well as draw contact when attacking the basket to get to the line. He makes very smart decisions when he is in control and has proven to make his his teammates better. Cartier Martin, for example, looked like Ray Allen out there knocking down his 3s when receiving wide open looks from Wall. Wall and McGee are looking to be a fierce duo in the making for the upcoming season, and I'm looking forward to seeing them in action. Despite the struggles with Wall's jumpshot, he has a nice sweetspot on the floor in the elbow jumper and has been able to hit that fairly consistently. To put it simply, John Wall is a pure point guard who can score at will when he needs to, and will be a huge asset to the Wizards this season. He is the player of our future and I expect great things from him. The Bad: Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. He did a better job in his third game, but he had 8 a piece in his first two games. These turnovers usually resulted in Wall becoming too wild when bringing the ball up, trying to turn too many plays into fastbreak opportunities when that wasn't the given situation. He needs to learn to calm down and keep the tempo of the game more controlled when he has the ball. His other turnovers resulted in the inability of the receiver of his quick passes to control the ball, which rewarded Wall with the turnover stat. He had the right idea on many of his plays, but the stat sheet won't always show that. Wall also needs a LOT of work on his jumpshot. At times, his misses are horrendous. Some of his mid range shots smack hard against the backboard resulting in an ugly miss. At times when Wall's options are limited on offense, he will force an ill-advised fadeaway jumper, which usually doesn't connect. Outside the elbow jumper, his hot spots are limited as far as his shot goes. His shot mechanics are decent so he has the potential to develop a decent jumper, but it's going to take some time. For now, I'd rather him not rely on it during crucial situations. Overall grade so far: B I like what I see, the potential is there and his ceiling is extremely high. He just needs to work on ball security and his jumpshot primarily. I expect great things from him in the near future. We play the Hornets tonight, so Wall will have his work cut out for him having to guard Darren Collison.
  9. I actually like Jefferson's game over Boozer. I wouldn't consider him a huge upgrade, but he is definitely the epitome of the perfect Boozer replacement in their system. Plus, Gordon Hayward was added as well who is proving to be a very talented forward. I would say they got better.
  10. Duncan is and always was higher than Garnett. But pretty decent list.
  11. This is old, so whoever uploaded that just ripped it from the original. But still, I gave your comment a thumbs up lol.
  12. Major: Business Management (Soon to be) Minor: Psychology
  13. hahahahaha well in that case, definitely just eat more. Or run a lot to slim down the other areas of your body. Just got done with Day 26 of P90X, damn I am loving this program. I played basketball yesterday and my vertical is much higher, I'm way quicker and I feel more coordinated overall with my improved balance. 64 days to go.
  14. Lol why would you not want that? If you want to change that, eat more lol.
  15. Psh, I'll be doing this program in rounds haha. After my 90 days I'm taking a 3 week break to work on building up muscle mass in the gym, then I'm gonna hop back into the program. Sorry though, you should definitely buy it though haha the results are ridiculous and I'm not even 1/3 of the way done.
  16. Someone offer me a center for Harden.
  17. Amazing man. I finished my 25th day and I look way better than when I started. Six pac is way more defined, I went from doing 16 pullups to 30 straight (reverse grip). I'm in great shape.
  18. Throw in a towel boy and I'll consider it.
  19. DOES ANYONE WANT JAMES HARDEN
