Lyles' Rise = Gobert and Favors' injuries a blessing in disguise?

99% is conservative. Confidence is really the only thing that can be gained in game. If they don't have the stuff & confidence in practice how are they magically going to develop success in game to boost that confidence?

They say it takes 10,000 hours to master something. Karl Malone had 54,852 career minutes. How many do you think he had practicing? He shot 17.75 field goals per game. How many did he shoot in practice and warmup before each game and at half time? He shot just under 9 FTA per game. How many did he shoot in practice?

1) I heard Ray Allen shot 500-1000 3 pointers per day, in practice. He took just 7429 his entire career.
2) lol @ thinking confidence in practice being something that should seamlessly transfer into confidence in game.

The positives for Whithey and Lyles is they aren't wasting hours and potential learning energy siting on the bench. It's not making a huge difference in there immediate development, however.

10000 hour theory has been debunked, let us know when you join the 21st century
 
FWIW, Chris Johnson's game has also slowly elevated as he's gotten more burn. Yes, it's from confidence-- something he would find difficulty attaining unless he had the opportunity to play extended minutes.

Frank gon Frank tho

there's a difference between quantitative and qualitative transformations. And there's no replacing the qualitative transformations that come along with prepping for and playing in meaningful games.

Says the gun-toting Pygmy. What sport did you play again?



"They say" is different than "theory". Kiddo, let us know when you grow out of reading what you want to see instead of what was written.

They implicitly referred to scientists. Don't worry, I'll continue to call out the ******** whenever it comes out of your mouth (seemingly often). Leave your pseudoscience for conversations with the less intelligent

Not defending franklin as I don't agree with his %s even though the basis of his argument has strong merit.

But to me this comes off as you using big words simply to seem smart. I don't think that about you but that's how it comes off to me.

This is baffling. Pseudoscience is not a big word, 99% of the posters here will know what it means. Pygmy is more PC than midget, which is why I used it. Trying to use big words? What other big word was there other than Pygmy?

Pygmy is PC? O.o

The proper term is dwarf, as far as I know.

He had two good games and has gone back to looking like 15th man material.

Pretty sure it doesn't matter when you're using it as an insult. Not PC no matter which term you use.

I'd say it does. Maybe not in the context of shortness, but it does in many other insults
 
Don't think you can compare swimming to basketball. In swimming you're effectively competing against the time set by someone else. You don't need to train against good competition or have that person swim next to you, you simply just have to 'beat that time'.


In basketball though if you train against Steve Blake how can you say you can be as good or ever better if you were to train everyday against Chris Paul?
 
The injury is a conspiracy to tank and develop Lyles. His lower back is just fine.

Michael Phelps won all those golds because he had the most Olympic experience.

There is no premise for this dumb *** logic whatsoever. In any sport.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. You can't draw comparisons between swimming and basketball. What happens in swimming in a match is not different than what happen in practice, but in basketball there are so many different variables. Game experience is at least equally as important as practice. Things are unpredictable in a game and you need to react to that; in swimming, there is nothing unpredictable, you just go out and swim as fast as you can.

Speaking of pygmies, keep going Eenie-Meenie on this one. You seem to have a penchant recently for mouth breathing.

You're drawing quite the fine line in the sand here. Sure it matter. How much more than practicing?

Sorry if I'm forgetting that Chris Johnson doesn't practice against NBA talent every day.
