I'm really interested to see how Paul and Harden share the ball.

so we end up with a giant clusterfuck in this thread with people claiming my criticism of Embiid's landing mechancis are unfounded.

now we get this.



this is a step in the right direction.
that pigeon-toed-knees-caving-inward landing is an injury waiting to happen.
just try it yourself at home kids.. it hurts.
watch how Lebron lands. that's how its done.

I learned this last year that I've been doing layups wrong this whole time. I was picking up the wrong foot. I almost never went for lay ups in games, so it just never came up. Oh well, no point in worrying about it now.

if you want to get into basketball long term and put in many injury free practice hours i recommend making sure your ankle dorsiflexion mobility is greater than 37 degrees. i'm lucky.. mine is over 40 degrees naturally. most people are not so lucky.
i had no clue what ankle dorsiflexion mobility was until i got to university. there are lots of stretching and weight bearing exercises that can improve mobility in this area.



a lot of people just sluff it off and say "he is injury prone". when, in reality, if you take a microscope to any person's bio-mechanics you can greatly diminish the probability of injury by improving their mechanics.

here is a good starting point.

is Colangelo just flat out lying about playing Embiid in back-to-backs with no minutes restrictions just to keep ticket sales high? is this one of these `power of positive thinking` things?
assuming he is being honest ... the only thing that prevents another serious knee injury for Embiid this year.. is a serious foot injury

He doesnt seem to ever be honest, wouldnt put much stock in anything he says

JimmiC, he's too dumb for normal reasonable conversation, just ignore him. He's dogmatic about his idiotic beliefs that no amount of rational discussion can make him evaluate his own biases. Moreover, it is apparent in his posts here that he has the intellectual range of a dead mosquito, so we can beat it into him, but no chance he will ever process it, much less absorb it.

Also this:

"Kyrie Irving just admitted to me that he was trolling everyone about that "flat earth" stuff. Hear the interview tomorrow at 8AM on T&R!"

Jumping and landing tend to be ankle injuries.

Knees tend to go from strong pivots, hard stops, and impact/twisting during falls (which granted, can happen due to contact in the air or other such).

I also wanted to share this interview with Coach Kerr from BBallBreakDown, goes into some of the general concepts of how he likes to run his offense. Some interesting bits about why he thinks it's so important for everyone on the team to handle the ball as well:

Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!

Man, that was a good interview. I feel the warriors dont get enough credit for what they are doing because of that super team bullshit. They are playing to their strengths and have a great organization, not a bunch of mercenaries who team up to win championships.

Wade joining up with Lebron in Cleveland. great move for him. Gets the chance to win and he doens't need to be the main man. He can also handle some of the ball handling play making while IT out. And he knows how to play with LBJ.

Cheap signing too. Wow, we are in the golden era of "superteams" at all cost.

I need Coach Nick's take on the Cavs, because these lineups will be funky.

If you listen to some people, Miami was a bunch of dirty hobos that Lebron willed to victory.

Lol wut? Given the talent they assembled, that team should have gone 4-0 in their first 4 finals and probably would still be together if Bosh's lungs didn't die. They lost to less talented teams 2x, beat a team of babies 1x, and barely beat the Spurs that they were way more talented than 1x in a G7 that they barely made it to.
