Phil - my son's soccer league is adopting the new IFAB rules. Is that weird for a league that doesn't use VAR?

Gotta love the admins having a private conversation in the old thread no one else can access. Dumb asses! It's better cuz you can't reply with poorly formed arguments and meaningless comments.

Chet is a BALLER. I mean you want to say he's too skinny and will break and then you remember KD. Impressive. And ISO JOE is making the NBA look retarded. Dude is NAILS, always has been! Ya, Chet looks like a lottery pick, depending on when he declares, and who is in his class. He'll bulk a bit, but he's smooth for a 7 footer. A lot like KD.

Phil - my son's soccer league is adopting the new IFAB rules. Is that weird for a league that doesn't use VAR? Not really as VAR doesn't affect most (if not all?) rule changes. Most noticeable change IMO will be that players must now exit the game from the nearest touchline and not exit where the substitute enters.

www.sny.tv/nets/news/experts-weigh-in-on-the-potential-silver-lining-of-kevin-durants-achilles-injury/309641668IS DURANT MORE LIKELY TO RETURN AT AN ELITE LEVEL BECAUSE HE TORE HIS RIGHT ACHILLES? There was an interesting theory posted by a reader rbnynyc11 on the site NetsDaily recently. The theory - which originated from the reddit user lolathon 234 - stated that players who injured the Achilles in the leg that they use for their first step most often (for right-handed players, that would be the left Achilles) fared worse in their recovery than players who injured the opposite leg. Durant, a right-handed player, tore his right Achilles tendon. So, the theory says, Durant is more likely to return at a high level after Achilles surgery. For evidence, the user cited Wilkins, who tore his right Achilles and performed well post-surgery. The user also cited right-handed players who tore their left Achilles and didn't fare as well post-surgery, such as Kobe Bryant, Elton Brand and Matthews. bleacherreport.com/post/brooklyn-nets/f7b0b14f-e99c-459c-91e1-3745d186c116In those clips, the vast majority he lifted off on the left foot. It's a small sampling but interdasting to think about.

It's a small sampling but interdasting to think about. Very interdasting for sure. Kobe's entire game literally based on his left pivot foot. As a coach, I've taught both a permanent pivot foot and alternating pivots. Alternating keeps our turnovers/travels low for our dribble drive offense, but with a permanent pivot foot a player has a lot more confidence and speed making their first move. It's more natural so it's a quicker first step(and if it's too fast, can be a travel). I can't imagine an NBA player, of Kobe's caliber, having to relearn footwork...which is the basis for why he was as great as he was. Mind you, Kobe also had a pretty messed up knee before that.

Most noticeable change IMO will be that players must now exit the game from the nearest touchline and not exit where the substitute enters. Well, they are already moving up a level and have a new coach. These new drop ball and handball rules aren't helping my confusion. First tourney game of the season is tomorrow night. Will be interesting for sure.

Will be interesting for sure. handball rules are especially to clarify for VAR as every referee interprets differently and with the introduction of VAR, handballs were called for a bunch of different things. Drop balls are honestly only something I’ve seen in American high school level and below. You only see it in the pros if the ref blows the game off to attend to an injury while the ball is in play and even then, the team that didn’t have the ball just boots it back to the opposition

That's weird. Am I understanding that correctly?

Len’s role in Phoenix was to be a traditional big man — the majority of his buckets would come off screen-and-rolls, putbacks and the occasional midrange shot. What he showed this past season in Atlanta was a version of Len the league hadn’t seen, and he believes if he was drafted into a situation like the Hawks have where player development is the focus, his career would have been in a different place. – via The Athletic Alex Len, Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns
“I would have been way ahead of where I’m at right now, like that’s not even crazy to say,” Len said. “I feel like with the two years that I’ve been in Atlanta, I’m already so much better. Just looking at where I was last summer to now, it’s just crazy how much better I’ve gotten. I’m able to do stuff that I’ve never been able to do in my career. I’m doing ballhandling drills, I’m getting shots up. I’m just a better well-rounded player with things I never had the chance to do. I was never asked to do the things I’m doing now when I was in Phoenix.” – via The Athletic
It'll be interdasting to see if Bender follows the trend of players who flourish after leaving Phoenix.

I had forgotten AD was on that team. No match for Laettner That year, AD was about as good as Laettner was. AD had just been drafted. Easy, Ridge, what I'm saying is that rookie Laettner and rookie AD were as good as each other. Obviously, AS has had a much better career

Yes. Especially when your consider offensively no matter where he is on the court if he plays with the starters (or sans Lopez) he'll be getting wide open scoring opportunities and defensively with Gianni out there as a legit shot blocker he can just Chase guys around as a 7'annoyance. Phoenix is stupid. Ayton eats boards and clogs the paint this dude as a roamer and shooter could've been very productive for them. But instead of giving him minutes as a rookie to develop they decided it would be a better idea to give them to Tyson Chandler on a sub 30 won team. To justify your nonsensical overpay for him in the first place. Sarver would be Dolan IF the 'uns had any kind of HISTORICAL significance but since they don't Phoenix will have to settle with their perennial tank for second worst queust lol
