    How Many Basketball Hoops are in Your Neighborhood?

    I have a small 3 bd lake house in MT. My wife kids love it. Lots of visitors. Lots of work for me. A boat would make it worse. I like whitewater, not lakes. We have human powered boats/sups. No motorized boats to tow and do maintenance on. I'll keep for another 10 years for the kids and then...

    How Many Basketball Hoops are in Your Neighborhood?

    We use ours for birthday parties, kids ride bikes (no skidding!) scooters, play soccer, badminton year round. Such a bonus in the short days in winter. I shoot for an hour most nights, Have kids practices there and can walk inside the house after (my court is in an outbuilding). Saves me from...

    How Many Basketball Hoops are in Your Neighborhood?

    Utah has an indoor court every four blocks, many of which doors pop open with a hard pull (power of the priesthood I expect). I lived in Indiana (would not go back). Was much easier to find good runs in Utah. I live on 13 acres in WA, so not a lot of neighbors. At least two neighbors on my...

    Quinton Grimes

    The Sixers would likely hit the 2nd apron to sign Grimes to a contract. Make an offer and see if they match. Worse case is the Jazz get a bit more coming to them in cash from their portion of luxury tax revenue.

    The R.I.P. Thread

    Kids these days have no idea how good they have it. Streaming, ipods and bluetooth headphones instead of a 2 lbs walkman pulling down your shorts, rewinding, etc. At the same time, I liked the more simple free range childhoods we were afforded and would not trade it. An ipod would have been...

    He looked pretty haggard at the concert two weeks ago. Rocked it till the end. Many days mowing the lawn with a walkman with a Paranoid cassette. Good times.

    NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

    True, but it was a poorly constructed team, and I am not a fan of Steve Pickiell as an x's and o's coach. They often looked like they were not running anything.

    That was Geoffrey Owens not Warner.

    Burying the dumb **** about Clayton Jr not being "athletic"

    WCJ has the same height and wingspan as Curry and Brunson fwiw. He is good at shooting on the move and has a quick release. I think he'll be fine.

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    The Curry effect is a double edged sword. Kids focus more on shooting, but want to shoot 3s too fast. It is rare I see kid level coaches stopping it. And often they encourage it.

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    It could be many things, but as a former D1 shooting coach I can tell you a lot of it is in game confusion. What I mean by that is when we correct form, it is easier to use a modified form when shooting lots of reps in practice, but in game shots often revert to the old form or something in...

    Clayton or Collier?

    I like Collier, but until he can shoot he will be a liability, and it will neuter his ability to use his quickness to drive. He is not elite enough in other areas to not be able to shoot. And his lack of shooting improvement is concerning. That should have been a main focus this summer. Flip's...

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    There are always going to be players that teams rag on, particularly lottery players that aren't meeting expectations of fans. Hopefully Cody figures things out when the team is on the rise.

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    Cody looked pretty good in SL last year. It's great for these young guys to get some extra burn, but I don't give a lot of creedence to how someone plays in SL. Hopefully his extra strength pays dividends in the regular season. I anticipate slow and steady improvement. I wish he'd fix his shot.

    I thought Tonje looked solid.

    How bad/good is Cody Williams?

    IIRC, Cody looked great in Summer League last year, and even his 3 looked decent. He is stronger this year, but not sure his overall game looks any better. Hopefully moving many of the vets puts him in a position to gain some confidence. I don't give much weight to summer league, but I am not...
