Nessie is going to be a good one

Needs more than one shot.

[nickagneta]

Need Payton and Brown in now to finish this.

[liam]

Starting guards are 6-25. Not good.

[SHAQATTACK]

Kornet has some nice hands!

Known as ....” NO Bass Miitts”

Yeah, 

Aw....I’m touched ....you remembered ..lol

Need Payton and Brown in now to finish this.

Yes, please!

[Silas]

Jabari who?

I really like the way Jaylen can switch hands and finish left on his drives when he needs to. Tatum still kind of angles his body sideways in the same situation to get side on because he won't (or can't) use his left hand effectively.

So during our covid lockdown in Melbourne, we had 1hr/day we could go outside for workout purposes.

Every day I went out (4 a week) I went to an empty basketball court and shot the ball.

Every miss, I rebounded with left, spun to my left hand, and either laid it up with left, or took 1 left-handed dribble, left handed gather and layup.

Until I could do the gathering without even touching the ball with my right hand.

It's been super useful in competition play and I now prefer to drive to my left hand

End of random game-break story.

Used to do the back and forth drill. Take the ball shoot it with your right from the right side. After making it, grab ball, jump left, shoot it with your left hand. Grab ball. Rinse and repeat for 10 minutes, every day . By high school I could finish with both hands quite easily

You wouldn't believe how many Australian junior coaches don't emphasise off-hand development. It took me until I had a pretty high level coach (he played Div 1 and Summer League) before I actually worked on my off-hand as anything more than an afterthought. Have made kids I've coached myself do this back and forth drill, worth it's weight in gold

He really needs to have some set plays run for him. He’s too good of a scorer (based ion his college game) to not get shots up.

Science backs this up; the more you practice your offhand, the better you get at the main hand too.

[SCeltic34]

Heck of a shot by Brown.  He knows he has to be aggressive and that nobody on OKC can guard him.

[liam]

Why take Kornet out???

[Atzar]

Not surprised that Smart got T'ed up.  Dude can't buy a call tonight.  Been a couple of really lousy non-calls at his expense.

[Chief]

Grant Williams at center again.

[Kiorrik]

I SWEAR SOMEONE HAS MONEY ON THE AMOUNT OF WHISTLES IN THIS GAME.

Like, honestly. This is NOT normal.
