Re: Which storyline in the upcoming 2010-11 season,are you most interested in?

guest — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:14:30 GMT

I have to say, im interested in every storyline, but as a true die hard hawks fan, Joe Johnson will live up to half of his salary at best, he is no superstar, our star should be josh smith, but he doesnt improve his game, so it should be Al Horford as our leader. but the hawk's storylines are:

How far will the new coach larry drew take the team?

Can jeff teague play more minutes and deliver as expected?

How good is jordan crawford going to be?

Will larry drew make josh smith finally work on his game?

How good can the atlanta hawks be?

that last one is a big question since we have been a team that can beat the best teams,then turn around and lose to the worst teams

Re: How much does the average 5'10-6'2 PG weigh?

It depends what level you are talking about, in the NBA, i woud say 160-185, 180-205 would be the strong point guards in the NBA and on any other level

Re: Double rim?

guest — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:56:29 GMT

Double rims are more for outdoor courts, and are more durable, it is harder to shoot on them, but it pays off if your build your shot with a double rim, once you reach a regulation rim, you will make more shots, triple rim is the same as the double rim, i have seen a few triples, i think those are just for spots that a lot of people are expected to play on, they are the same as double rims in a lot of ways though

I have a friend who is 16, and about 5'3-5'4" and can dunk, i dont know what he did, but im 6'0-6'1'', 185lbs, and i can get head high on the rim, i do the basic leg stuff, squats,lunges,toe raises,jumping jacks, and stairs. thats what worked for me.

Uh Yea, I have been to texas, they have some pretty talented people, but overall, no. they have a lot of great shooters though, Florida,California,Georgia,North Carolina,New York, Chicago, are all beasts.

Re: can u dunk the basketball in an 11 foot hoop?

guest — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 21:11:02 GMT

I probably can, but it would have to be a really good day,perfect speed and perfect takeoff,and timing and a ball with a great grip on it so i can palm it easily

Re: How do you guard 3pt shooters/shooters?

guest — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:26:35 GMT

Once you figure shooters out, they become the easiest people to guard. here are some quick tips that make easy work out of a shooting assignment

1. Run With Them:Dont give them any space, they will make cuts, use screens,and keep moving to find a shot, stay with them and no matter what, dont let them have space.

2. Hand Up:Keep a hand up at all times, this gives you less ground to cover when reacting to their shot, plus its still contested even if you dont react on time.

3. Dont fall for fakes: When a shooter tries to fake me, i just keep my hand in front of the ball, only when i KNOW they are in the air will i jump.

4.Talk to them: Most shooters can be talked out of their game, since shooting is a delicate art. even Ray Allen has proven that no shooter is unstoppable. say stuff like"today isnt your day" "you must just be off today" it puts that into their head without firing them up, so they usually quit the game mentally without realizing it

Re: Can you Dunk???????

guest — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:02:26 GMT

Im 6'0"but my reach is 8'0" i first dunked in my tenth grade summer, so i was 16 then. i had been working on my legs for a year, ever since i first touched the rim.when i did it, my eyes just welled up with tears, and a huge sense of accomplishment. Now my max vert is 40+ and im almost head high to the rim when i do, i still feel the same every time i dunk(minus the tears though) crazy thing is though, where i play ball at there are a lot of people who make a 40 inch vert look below average. its a good thing im also fast.

Re: FRONTCOURT VS. BACKCOURT POSITIONS

guest — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:54:31 GMT

In essence its just a different set of skills required for the big positions, the same way you wont trade your point guard to rebound and block shots.

and the frontcourt means the bigs.The teams backcourt are the guards
