Had my girlfriend join me with lifting for the first time ever and she enjoyed it (specifically the pump Hahaha)

lol cool. but also surprising that this was her first time lifting, lmao.

i'm def on the lob boat (obviously lol).

for a long time, my dunk sessions were all misses. the excitement of better quality misses, really amp'd me up. then one day i landed one. as soon as i landed one, it got easier.

other than needing less vert & being able to throw lobs more efficiently (better lob "mechanics" than most lol), the only difference I had with scoob is: i'd do all of my attempts on the 10' rim. even when i wasn't that close, i did that. i figured i'd maximize my chances for the occasional "amazing jump" or "perfect timing". it does happen, that's for sure. from my experience, it happens most often on a great miss. but sometimes it happens on a make and those are epic.

not saying scoob should do that but, sometimes you jump "as high" as your target. there's a point where psychologically it's too high, but also a point where it's too small. 10' for me was right at the sweet spot - i guess because that's all that mattered to me. lower rims didn't give me the kind of stimulus to really put out max vert. higher than 10's can sometimes make you feel like you're stuck to the floor. though, i dunked on a few higher ones which felt great, but it's weird when you know it's higher than 10'.

as for palming, i could barely palm & my hands are larger than scoobs. I absolutely suck at palm style dunking. feels like a completely different movement. first & foremost, i wanted to jump high. second was landing dunks. so palm/dribble up attempts wrecked the "jump as high as possible" component & made it very unenjoyable. eeh.

quick 2 cents.

looks like an achilles tear.

oh man...

awful.

that is very bad.

:/

btw Durant left in the 3rd.

I found that weird at the time.. wondered if he was angry at GSW.

Reporter just said, "Durant's agent was white as a ghost" (in the locker room).

really hope Durant isn't seriously fucked.

damn wtf?

Bob Myers (Warriors GM) is doing a press conf.. crying hard, trying to give an update on Durant.

He also said, "If you have to blame someone, blame me".

:/

this is major folks...

GSW steals game 5. unreal.

that is robbery

you've got to be kidding me
