There's no doubt in my mind that we are not only going bull, but BTCis going nuclear. A lot of people are wondering if now is a good time to buy because of where the price is at right now. I'd say it's outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and wait maybe incur some losses along the line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor finding ways to always increase and stack up more coins thereby making prof!ts should be the way of life, even experienced traders are in a doubt to take long or short position. I have been more skillful than lucky to be honest also thanks to Daniel wright who trained me as my initial investment was multiplied so much In two months.

i don’t think it has something to do with his training and conditioning, if you notice on his interviews prior to that game 6, he was really determined to play, he wanted to help the team win after that blowout loss from game 5. it’s just not their year today, obviously bc of the short off season they have from last year, and also from their injuries mid season. they wouldn’t be a 7th seed if ad and lebron were healthy

AD should change his playing style. Start playing more like Tim Duncan. Enough of that off-balanced attacks to the basket coz he doesn't now how to land properly.

[@StephanLamar81]

Facts. He’s athletic AF, but clumsy.

[@kinglbj2345]

I agree but post play is all but dead in this modern NBA so playing like Duncan isn’t an option. I think that’s why he settled for so many jumpers this year though.. because he’s trying to avoid the hard falls and change his play style to avoid re-injury. Honestly though he came into this season out of shape. He needs to improve his balance, coordination and conditioning over the offseason and stay committed to his body/diet. If he does that he can play in that aggressive way attacking the basket (when he’s at his best) and not get injured.

[@j5daniel182]

@@kinglbj2345 i think it just appears dead coz most of the guys who play in the post are slow and cant freaking defend the perimeter on switches. So they are forced to sit on the bench. Im also pretty sure Duncan can still dominate if he was playing today in his prime.

[@kinglbj2345]

@@j5daniel182 that’s part of it but it’s mainly because teams have started basing game-plans off of analytics, they realized that the 2 point post shot was one of the most inefficient shots you could take on offense. So teams started to move away from it and that’s what started this 3 point shooting, small ball, speed, space-the floor modern league. There’s still some post play and it can be effective, it’s just utilized less often with more passing out of the post to open shooters. Duncan would still dominate in this era though.. he had a great mid range shot and would have worked on developing his 3 more if he played today.

Here's why there is some truth to that statement...notice how Charles' entire demeanor was toned down on this episode, especially when talking about AD. There wasn't anybody cracking jokes (the Kevorkian line was towards the doctors), everybody, especially Charles, just seemed not only like they were trying to be more serious, but also maybe felt in some way they may have indirectly caused the situation too.

He will be another tyler hero. Flash in the pan for a series or two. Very tough to keep that up in the nba without ppl figuring you out

[@mrmacross]

Efficiency is reflective of the play style of the time. Everybody's more efficient today, but that's a function of taking more threes, fewer long twos, and defenses being handcuffed by the rules today. So it's probably better to compare a 2021 player's efficiency against the 2021 league average than against a mid-2000s guy. This season, Booker was 79th in TS%. Kobe, from 2006-2009 (i.e. Prime Kobe), ranked anywhere from 40th to 72nd. Comparing both players' age 24 seasons (Kobe 2003 to Booker today), Kobe ranked 40th. But to be fair to Booker, he was 24th last season, a ranking Kobe never got close to. And I say this as a guy who was never a Kobe supporter except when he played for Team USA in FIBA tournaments. I just think it's not quite right to compare efficiency numbers from this season compared to the mid-2000s when a lot more physical contact was allowed and coaches didn't allow players to air them out from three like they do today.
