If you look carefully you'll see GV tripped over the guy he thought was going to pick-and-roll him. He would've still be burnt by the crossover, but he wouldn't have felt.Quote:

How did AD looked while playing? His numbers were crazy. If he continues to plays like this he may be able to snatch the ROY from Lillard. That would be sweet lol

03-10-2013, 02:04 PMHornetGuruThanks for posting that! His midrange is looking great, I hate to say it but i think AD is the next KG but with even more potential, he has been this big for a year and a half and playing a new position for a year and a half, good lordQuote:

From the look of just those highlights, davis looked calm and poised shooting that mid range. Think the game is starting to slow down for him.

The best thing about those highlights?
In my opinion, it's the lack of dunks taken for those 18 points. The dunks and alley-oops will come with Vasquez's better vision or a better PG. His midrange and touch off the glass is awesome to see. The one move I want to see more than anything this summer is a low post jump hook. He always goes for a fall-away when on the low post. -
03-10-2013, 03:14 PMHornetGuruDefinetly, aminu is a freak at rebounding, just knows how to do it, every night he is snatching up like 12 rebounds it seems like, take him away and i could see davis averaging 20-13 next yearQuote:

Also davis seems unstopable when he is facing up from the high post, he can shoot the mid range so u cant sag off and he has elite quickness for a power forward and dribbling and layup so u can play too much in his face, kid is gonna be so good.

•From Biddy Basketball you are taught to use your perifial vision, plus along with talking help from your teammate yelling the direct the pick is coming from(pick lft or pick rt), Vasquez should've used his elbow placing it in the pickers chest, stepping over the pickers foot by fighting thru the pick.
Problem 1, Vasquez feet are heavy & slow which caused him to slid his foot, which he should've stepped "over" the opposing players foot!
Problem 2, no defensive athletism plus no defensive vision
FYI
Tripping over someone feet while defending a crossover IS embarrassing! Fans can't defend a players play on defense when he doesn't move his feet and he doesn't pickup his feet properly while defending!! -
03-10-2013, 03:18 PMFlyGirlI don't think anyone was really 'defending' it per se, just showing what and how it happened. We know Vasquez is slow but even players way better than and nowhere as slow as Vasquez have gotten crossed over.Quote:

Surprisingly enough our team defense only drops 5 points when GV is off the court. Let that sink in.
Our entire team is lousy on defense if GV's sitting only brings you from 108 to 103. -

03-10-2013, 03:31 PMFlyGirlIt's not a defend. It's just not all that you're trying to make it out to be. Was that the first time Vasquez has been crossed over in his career? I doubt it. Will it be his last? I surely doubt it.Quote:

Ask any basketball coach or player, why players get their feet crossed up defending? And they would ALL tell you the player isn't moving his feet properly, defending on the balls of his feet, picking them up properly.
(Heavy feet or fatigue on a good defender will cause for loss of focus/technique in his defensive stance!)
Yet, you still try to defend Vasquez by bringing up other players who have been cross up before but none of y'all players mention are known for defense, let alone Great defenders!

03-10-2013, 03:52 PMFlyGirlYou're not the only one that knows how and why things happen here. It happened. I just don't think it's :biglol: worthy. You know why I don't think it's :biglol: worthy? Because it happens to just about all players regardless of how or why.Quote:

03-10-2013, 03:59 PMInner_GIWow dude... this is pathetic. You're acting like Vasquez is the only person to be crossed over in the history of the NBA. We all know "WHY" it happens. You act like you've just informed the world of a cure for cancer. Chill out. No one is defending Vasquez's poor defense. What people are doing is defending the premise that vasquez is the only capable of being crossed over.Quote:

Bottom line, Greivis Vasquez didn't pickup his feet! -

Greivis Vasquez, fans can actually see when a player doesn't execute properly!
There's a difference but yet fans key in on Monty's IQ -

When he gets stronger and can handle the constant rigors of the game while also asserting himself physically, I think nights like this will be par for the course if he chooses to make them so. Bright future.Quote:
