I think this warrants a seperate post but 

i got my first proper in game dunk in a half court set off a post up against 2 defenders. OMG!!!!!

quick background, we played 1.5hrs full court scrimmage, 5v5. That was shithouse. Then after that i got pulled into a 4v4 half court game. Big guy playing man defense on me, i asked him his height and weight (a bit premediatory? lol) and he said 6'4", he didnt get to reply the weight but he must be 100kg, solid build. I post him up and he moves me out of the key with ease. Like c'mon, im a 170kg squatter and this guy is just brushing me aside like yesterdays news. It kinda kills my buzz cause i was thinking i wanna get a dunk.

So anyway about 30 mins in and ive got a few blocks on him, i feel he's softened up. i get a postup on the right block. I give him a left shoulder fake, he bites! i spin, power dribble and go up. He's recovered and trying to block me and meanwhile a smaller defender has come into the middle and put his hand up, but im already commited to the dunk. Bang. i come down, everyone is like wtf! i dunked on two guys off a post up.

I wish i had it on video. im just the kind of nerd who would tape a fucking pickup game on the off chance i get a dunk. but nah, im not even that lame. doesnt matter, i still know it was legit. Now im regretting it, would be cool to get my first proper postup dunk on video. Ah well.

oh and i had a fast break dunk on the full court scrimmage but i rimmed it out. i didnt grip the ball. it was old and no grip but still i should aleast try. hit the rim so hard ive got a purple bruise on my figer. go figure. if i ever go for a fast break dunk again im gonna make sure ive got it palmed otherwise it's going to be a miss.

sick man. congrats!

that's probably going to happen more frequently now, i mean it's obvious from the recent IG clips that you could be bam'n it on people in games.

MIA picked a good time to lose 4 games in a row.

all close games tho..

the story with MIA is this jack-up-3-pointers syndrome. they get themselves in position to win, and then they just jack up 3 after 3, abandoning what got them there.

I think this game vs TOR they went 12-35 or something from 3.. they were on fire in the paint/driving to the basket all game.. then they end it with like 10+ straight 3 pointers.



if DET/BKN both win tonight, MIA is out.

MIA doesn't deserve to be in tho, playing like this. so frustrating.

even wade... a guy who can get to the rim better than anyone, jacking up contested 3's when we don't need to.

MIA is so frustrating. down 3 in OT and they just keep shooting 3's.

YOU DONT NEED a 3.

yup.

VA will take it probably easier than expected - that is, if Tariq Ownes can't play (nasty ankle roll but he's made of rubber apparently). Hoping he's back and is fine. If that's the case, then it'll be a great game. That dude goes super saiyan out there.

Jerome/Guy are too lethal tho imho. Jerome especially.. dude can really create. Then Guy steps up at the biggest moments.

still can't get over that VA/AUB ending.

i'd be happy to see either team win it. I actually like their coaches too. It personally bothers me a little when coaches are complete spazzes on the sidelines, like Izzo and Pearl - ffs, relax a bit. I guess the spazzing bothers me because it just comes off as them thinking they have "more control" than they actually do. ie, as if Izzo is pulling every string & orchestrating everything on the court. News flash, he's not.

Hope it's a great game. This tournament has been incredible.

OH MY FUCKING GOD.

VA down 62-60, fouled on a 3 with 0.6 left.

insane.

Guy shooting FT's.

or lose out and give themselves a shot at zion.

i'd rather make the playoffs. heat's chances would be slim to nab the first pick.

ZION on the heat would be pretty incredible.. just thinking about it, he'd look good in a heat jersey.

i'd hate to see him end up on the Knicks. only sports org I truly dislike.

would be cool to see him on the Bulls .. imagine if he ends up with LEBRON in LA? lmfao.

i'm already excited about ZION2020. *Almost* LEBRON level hype entering the league.

damn that sounds like a fun & tough course lmfao. good work!

i like to just relax on the downhill, ie not trying to accelerate, not trying to slow down, just right there in the middle letting gravity do the work. so i go harder uphill, neutral downhill.

and ya, shins/quads/knees can get wrecked going too fast downhill. you don't really feel the affects of it at the time, but later on in the race you def can, and certainly the next day(s).

pc!
