I'm surprised that Bosh is so strong on the right side, considering that he is a lefty? I thought that he would be killing it from the left side. It must be because of how Wade and Bron position themselves on offense and when Bosh gets the ball?

I'm a righty and my jumpshot is much better on the right elbow than on the left elbow, I actually have to practice my left side jumpshot exclusively just to bring it up to par.

That's weird-I'm a much stronger left side jump shooter than right side. CB seems to get a lot of his looks on that right side 45, where he can up fake and go through the middle if the key with his strong hand.

Great thing about Bosh is that he's nearly ambidextrous with his dribble, and shoots well from everywhere. He just gets most of his looks there in our system.

Think about it, if you just gave away a wide open lay up, so you essentially gave the other team 2 points and the only way you win basketball game is by scoring more points than the other team, that means that to make up for the automatic 2 that you just gave, you HAVE to take a 3, other wise, you are just trading baskets and are putting pressure on winning games only based on turnovers.

By making 3s, you actually crush the other team's confidence because you still one up them despite them having scored.

If the other team doesn't have strong 3 point shooting, they are almost sure to lose unless they rebound the ball extremely well and break the press constantly.

This is not the type of ball that I personally like, but it is smart.

They won by 75. Don't give up wide open layups then, right? It worked because the team they played isn't even in the NCAA. Please read the article, because I don't think you understand.

I don't think it's automatic based on your strong hand. I'll admit, I used to be a lot better shooting from the right angle (I'm a righty), but for some reason I've since becoming way-stronger left of center. A lot of factors go into it.

[Dee-Zy]

I did read the article.

but when you have so many possessions and for every 2 points that you make, the other team make 3, that adds up when you are scoring in the 150+ and that is without counting turn overs and how sometimes, the other team just don't get to make their 2. It's not as if they are getting 2s all the time, it is just that a lot of time, they rather give up a wide open lay up and counter attack quickly, rather than getting back on D.

Not sure if the game is on SunSports (which I personally wouldn't be able to watch anyway), but TNT is having Charles Barkley call the game against San Antonio. Pretty sure the last time he called a game was when we beat ATL without LeWade.

[Smithian]

You all know what would be awesome?

Defense.

[Jace]

You and your pipe dreams.

[Wade2Bosh]

3 days of practice coming up. No doubt that defense will be drilled over and over again.

Our next opponent, the Spurs, kicked off their 4 game in 5 night stretch (all on the road) with a win in double OT. Probably the last thing they wanted.

Wish Barkley wasnt calling our game. Not as fun to listen to and laugh at when its during one of our games.

[Jace]

According to Elias, that game was the most closely contested NBA game in the modern era. All of the first 5 periods of play were either a tie or within one point.

Did they get Leonard back? Particularly with Jackson out, they'd be much better served having him to defend LeBron.

[Wade2Bosh]

Looks like he wont play on this road trip.

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN
Pregame in Indy, Pop re-asserts what's already been announced re: Kawhi Leonard. "No chance" he joins Spurs on current road trip.

Spurs beat guy also thinks Duncan and Parker will be sitting tomorrow in Washington since they played over 40 minutes in this game.

Is WAS still winless?

[Dee-Zy]

Wow, I just looked at the team stats on NBA.com

Heat are leading the league in:

FG%: .494
PPG: 104.8
and 3p%: .432

We are an offensive monster.

[doctordrizzay]

^ The Ray Allen affect.

Sadly the defense is affected too.

Yes, if you're still wondering.
