The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[Handlogten's Heros]

Yeah players have gotten super advanced at bending the rules

I'm in full Unc status now in pickup and some of the moves the younger players that know what they are doing are just unguardable. Aren't really even bending the rules this far. Most of these guys don't need that extra super advantage.

Hansen needs to get his body right, and it will take some time.

Missed this. He has a lot of pressure on him.

Giddey balling

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Nope

Yup, he didn't pick the ball up. Kept his hand parallel to the ball and it was still moving

Dude who posted counted 6 steps, I counted 5, you counted 3. We all agree it was travel. Please try not to argue over trivial BS with me. I have been enjoying jazzfanz lately and I would like that to continue but you have an innate ability to take the joy out of jazzfanz with stupid petty arguing.

Zombie liked my post that said 3...

Exactly. It can be seen different by different people. The refs saw 2. A dumb thing to argue about.

It's not a dumb thing to argue at all. It's understanding how the rules work with modern players who know how to manipulate that ball. If you don't want to argue about don't participate in the conversation about it

Josh Giddey one assist from a triple double. Melo the Jazz Killer must be crying his eyes out.

Yeah I counted three steps after the gather.

Definitely a travel, but not anywhere close to as egregious as I’ve seen go uncalled according to the rules.

It does seem to fly in the face of the spirit of the game tho

The Sixers have a big Embiid-shaped problem.

He's done. Can't run, can't jump. Most of the time he can't even move. Philly's game grinds to a halt when Embiid is out there. They force feed the ball to him at the low post, and then everybody stands around and watches while he takes crazy one-legged fadeaway jumpers over two guys. The fast-moving small ball they've been winning with goes out the window.

They should be going with a heavy emphasis on Maxey, VJ, Grimes and Oubre, with Adem Bona bringing crazy hustle and rim protection at the 5.

But what do you do when you have a future Hall of Famer on the roster who wants to play and won't take no for an answer?
