That's a little different than changing the motion of your whole arm.

Tell that to Jeff Hornacek.
Did he change his shot? It looks like from his college and pro percentages he was always a really good shooter. His rookie year was a little low when he played limited minutes and only taking 4 shots a game, but other than that it looks stellar.
IIRC, he had the same problem Split described: using the thumb on his off hand. A few months of practicing with his thumb taped to his hand corrected it in his case.
Ah, I think that was a little before my time. thanks!
If you Google Hornacek tape thumb, you’ll find a lot of articles that mention it.
I googled it, and t showed me a lot of photos of Abby Hornacek. Not that I'm complaining.

I used to be an Abby Hornacek fan, but lately some of her choices have put me off. I still wish her well, though.

So does anyone understand the Gather and Two Steps :oops:
Smh lol



This video breaks it down pretty well and tells how Harden gets away with what he does. This YouTuber has a lot of really good content and isn’t annoying as hell like a lot of the basketball guys.

On a more serious note, I talked a lot of shit about wanting Brandon Clarke last year, but he is struggling this year. We saw that video of how he "fixed" his shot over the summer, and what do you know, his %s are down drastically across the board. His rebounding and FTA are down, too.

Last year and in college, he looked like a championship caliber glue guy. So far this year he looks like a fringe NBA player.

Meanwhile our guy Cameron '#11' Johnson continues to look legit even when his 3s aren't falling.
Brandon Clarke is averaging 13.3 ppg. In his last 10 games he is averaging 14 ppg, 59% FGs, 37.5% 3-PTs.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Can someone tell the west to lose some games? Feels like all the playoff teams are constantly on winning streaks. At least Denver cooperated tonight

That's not what bball ref shows. .231 from 3. .537 overall is good, but way lower than the .618 he shot last year.

You're right. ESPN's splits were off for some reason.
