Tox, I haven't taken a math class in about 20 years. I have no idea what the difference is.  |
Algebra is grade school/ middle school stuff. Multivariable calculus is college material |
My last math class (frosh year in college) was taken well before 9/11 happened. So yeah, I suck at math.

Unless you're a engineer, is anything except basic math really necessary?

If you're not good at math then Algebra will suck.
If you're not good at math, multivariable calculus will make you reconsider your will to live and every day of the semester will be a slow and agonizing death with your self esteem and self identity dying a bit every second.

if you're premed, you need to be good at physics. And if you want to be good at physics, basic math isn't going to cut it.

I don't get why LeBron keeps constantly settling for these long step back threes when the lane is open.
He's really a prime example of you look at his stats, but then you watch the game and come away with a different opinion.
As impactful as he is, I think Kawhi, Durant and Anthony Davis effect the game more than he does at this point.
But he's just so talented and skilled he can sleepwalk to a 25/7/7 game. The problem is, it's still sleepwalking and he needs to be at a high intensity if the youngster teammates are going to feed off that and him.
So we'll see if it's just a phase, but whenever I see an opening LeBron could take someone to the basket on and he settles for a stepback three that clanks I feel like yelling at the TV.

When you say Kawhi effects the game more, is this the same Kawhi who's Toronto Raptors are something like 7 wins, 1 loss with Kawhi not there. The same Kawhi who Toronto didn't need to paste GSW all over the floor?

Did Durant's impact rise after moving to California?
I assume his impact was the same when he was eliminated by the Grizzlies and Spurs in the playoffs, or when he dropped a 3-1 lead to the Warriors in 2016. Including when he had a 10 for 31 performance at home in game 6. |

I dont agree with the examples he used. One could argue Steph and Giannis are more impactful, maybe. Then again I’d just tell them the Lakers would have maybe 9 or 10 wins right now without LeBron |

LbJ had a 'good' game.
He can't constantly bail us out on offence and he's no longer a consistent point of attack defender especially on the perimeter - no shame in that. |

He would shoot a higher FT Percentage if he would clean up his routine.
No great FT shooter is moving his legs around before the shot, it is a bad approach and hurting his percentage.
Magic should get out there with him. I guarantee Magic can still pop in FT's like nothing, simple routine...bounce, bounce shoot with your eyes always on the rim.
LeBron is moving his leg around and stepping into the shot while not looking at the rim until the last instant. Terrible routine, but I love the guy anyway.

He has tried different approach already. Stand still, one motion, and I think he even tried shooting a bit further out too. I just really think his too bulky, and still does a lot of weight lifting. |

This is quite simple. He's 34 years old. He's conserving his energy and body. What's easier, driving every possession or chucking deep 3s? I expected this. I only get mad when he does it in the last 3 minutes of a close game. But ya Lebron is the master of conserving his energy/being efficient aka resting on the court.
Wait till the playoffs. |
