What do you think?
Lyles' Rise = Gobert and Favors' injuries a blessing in disguise?
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date
If Derrick comes back and we go on a huge winning streak, sure.
Well, Lyles getting this many minutes would certainly never have happened with a healthy Favors. So it's more of a silver lining than a blessing of disguise, regardless of what happens for the rest of the season.
I dont know how you can say that.
If we end up winning a playoff series and Lyles plays well, you would have to look back on this stretch as when he put things together to help the team. Then it would be a "blessing in disguise". If we end up just losing in the first round, or not making the playoffs, then it's just a silver lining.
Right, so we agree? It's a silver lining regardless of what happens.

Where do you get these numbers?

No, totally disagree with that. I agree that players develop in practice a lot, but nothing is like playing a real nba game, you cant simulate that in practice.

They're from his ***.
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 was implicitly asking you that very question. That 99:1 ratio is a bit extreme, no? I'd say in-game confidence is definitely a function of playing time. Anecdotal for sure, but I don't think we'd see the same confidence and role/overall play expansion from Withey and Lyles if not for the injuries to Gobert and Favors. Sure, in the long-run, they'd probably get there anyway -- especially if we're talking about skills -- but it's nice to see it happening sooner, especially with an impending Booker decision this summer (which was probably a no-brainer, regardless).

63% of all statistics are made up on the spot. 60% of the time it works every time.
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?
I heard Ray Allen shot 500-1000 3 pointers per day, in practice. He took just 7429 his entire career.
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.

It was definitely the swim practice that did it ... not all of his experiences in competitive swimming and previous races!
Solo racing competitions and team sports aint even remotely commensurate anyway for so many reasons.
U trollin like always.
