There is, however, one player who's developed a reputation for duping defenders with his body language—so much so that he was singled out by Barnes, former player Caron Butler and also Mavericks rookie Dennis Smith Jr."Any time Manu puts his hands on his knees, he's getting the ball," Smith said, referring to San Antonio Spurs veteran Manu Ginobili.Said Butler: "Manu is the king of that. He always puts his hands on his knees and acts like he's out of the play, and that's almost always followed by a cut and him getting the ball."And then there are players like Sixers rookie Ben Simmons, who acknowledged not caring for treaties made between opponents."You should be playing hard every time you step on the floor," Simmons said. "Guys get paid to rebound. You don't know if the ball's not coming to you. When someone says that, or that they're not really picking me up full-court, I know I got you."And so, Simmons said, he's developed a routine for handling those moments."They ask me if I'm going, and I usually say 'No' then go for the rebound," he said. "Maybe after that they learn their lesson."

are these crazy tight standing in the west historically unprecedented or does it just feel that way?

I can't recall anything quite this extreme in terms of a playoff seeding traffic jam happening this late in the season.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 9 April 2018 17:42 (six years ago) link
this is crazy. there's often a couple teams fighting for the 8th seed or a couple others shuffling around in the middle seeds but to have 5-9 still un-clinched with 2 games left is not normal.

ban falk makes the case that jokic is an underrated (even good) defender. echoes what I've been saying for a little while about importance of rebounding to defense, and also adds to that his low foul rate and apparent ability to keep opponents from getting off shots close to the rim

well like tennis those guys have dedicated their lives since childhood but a lot of it is predicated on being able to see and hit a ball good where cycling you need extreme pain tolerance

its insanely gnarly
The Armstrong saga was madness, imagine if that would have been Kobe or Brady
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 9 April 2018 23:00 (six years ago) link
Kobe would have agreed to "retire" and play baseball for the Angels instead of getting suspended or banned.
Armstrong i think was even among sociopathic sports maniacs a pretty singular figure of evil.

fucking malone subs jokic out with a minute to go in the second quarter with two fouls in a must win game and the blazers promptly go on a 6-0 run to close out the half, nice

its ok at least you're not at home losing to the kings by double digits in a must-win-to-clinch game
