« on: May 15, 2019, 04:30:17 pm »Leonards game winner was not too impressive at all imo. Needed 5 bounces and hit backboard to go in from corner shot = pure luck. it was a tough tough shot, a str8 up brick that went in from the corner... we all know those r just luck if they are not str8 on and still go in.....
LOL
IMHO, that it needed 5 bounces makes it even more impressive to me. that ball had a chance because of how high Kawhi shot it. If Kawhi shoots that with his normal arc, or even a bit more than his normal arc, he's getting blocked by Embid or straight bricking it. He gave that ball a chance by shooting it so high that it landed nearly straight down on the rim.
furthermore, it didn't hit the backboard. u blind as fu*k.
pretty sure it hit the backboard too. edit- lol i am blind, wow i thought it really did hit back board too after 1st bounce on front rim...
wow ok to everyone taht got so upset from the truth. i guess this is why luck matters so much....
now dame's shot was imo one of the greatest shots in playoff history.... he knew it was probably going in.... and fade to the right square up near logo....
DAME's shot is better, for sure (imho).
but i don't get the "luck" part of it.. Kawhi had to use skill to give that ball a chance. Sure, a small element of luck, but it can't be pure luck. He had to put it on the rim.
and ya u r blind lmfao.

« on: May 15, 2019, 01:27:57 pm »wow 495 now. like the energizer bunny just keeps going higher!
kingfish is the prototype.
tbh his consistent precision at executing the basics, reminds me of Kipchoge.
most athletes feel they need all kinds of variation. i def need less variation the most. but kingfish is on another level.
i've mentioned before in here, i want to attack my km's (sub3) & mile's (sub5) like kingfish does his squat. tho, i think doing it at such a high frequency is a bit too rough: mod/hard 3-5 minutes straight is alot of work every day (and especially multiple times per day), for me at least. The key difference is the "heart stress". Running hard (for several minutes) every day just triggers heart-related stress which can become a real problem. Muscle-wise, i felt fine, especially since I was running in spikes on grass. That experiment I did last October (2018) was eye opening tho. Was the best period of running i've ever had.
wooord.

ZION.
painful. lmao.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ja Morant went first depending on what team gets the top pick/how individual workouts go. The guy is a bonafide stud and fits a position even in a "positionless" NBA.
That said, Zion will sell tickets lol
if a franchise gets the #1 pick & doesn't pick Zion, they will be cursed for all eternity.
respect to Morant but ZION is next-next-next level.
yeah thats like passing up MJ for Bowie
painful. lmao.

"nice and smooth"
from that small set of clips, their coach seems solid.
watching kids run this fast in trainers blows my mind actually. i really can't comprehend it. i can't even jog fast in shoes like that. then i put on spikes and i feel normal (especially on grass).
finally realizing what it means for me to keep the hard days hard(er) and the easy days easy(ier). need more ~12 km runs at 5:45+ and more challenging tempo. this was not too hard but it was the first time trying something like this.
ya man.. i don't think it can even be taught. you can have the best coaches, friends, training partners etc, and it just doesn't sink in until out of nowhere.
lmao.
nice!
super slow mostly + fast occasionally works good for me.

i don't want to be excited for the knicks. I hate the knicks. if ZION went there, i'd be excited for them. I'm a HEAT fan so my hatred for the Knicks runs deep.
my statement is a personal one

i should probably try to do a "safe sub5 mile" attempt on wednesday.. not sure yet.
safe sub5 = 5:0X pace until last lap then burn it out.
might do a mile race saturday soo... if i do, that'd probably be a good strategy.
ie: sat = speed, sun = light, mon = speed, tues = light, wed = speed, thurs = light, fri = light, sat = race.

heres the first. very satisfying to eliminate and wave bye to that stat whore.
lmao @ stat whore. RWB getting some harsh criticism lately. I expect Harden will also.

GSW vs POR.
should be a good series.
lillard always plays like he has to prove something against golden state. if durant doesn't come back, it should be an interesting series.
portland lost a solid center. very unfair if durant returns.
POR is just too small. I imagine they'll get bullied. Should still be a good series tho.
Expecting Lillard/McCollum to put on a show tho.
Hope Hood is ok: https://sports.yahoo.com/injury-rodney-hood-wanted-back-014626660.html
Also hope Durant is able to come back. calf strains are no joke.
