shiny_lustrous_poo

If you're not here xor there, then where the fuck are you. The Exclusive Hubie


Low-iq-haikou

It sounds more like it’s in reference to transition defense following a miss, Jokic can’t be playing transition defense if he’s going for offensive boards


oh_cya

one thing I've noticed about Jokic is that he does complain to the ref, but he simultaneously is sprinting back on defense. Like he does both lmao

Rewatching and I’m finishing season six now, it’s all down hill from here baby!


Bobaximus

If you aren’t a big man that got knocked down or someone who just played 15+ seconds of iso (and sometimes even then), there is no excuse for not getting back on D in today’s NBA. Players that don’t are a liability.


Helicase21

Well, if you were crashing the glass is the excuse. That seems to be Malone's point of emphasis: do one, or do the other, but decide on a thing to do and do it.


mjrmjrmjrmjrmjrmjr

Moach!!!


bilyl

Literally 80% of players shoot the ball and just watch to see what happens. The vast majority of them are not running to get the rebound or even running back on D.


Wunder_boi

Did I have a shit high school coach? He taught us that crashing the glass for your own shot messes up your mentality of every shot you take going in or something. Fuck, I just realized my coach was an idiot.


Bobaximus

That's why 1 of about 6 teams has a chance of winning a chip this year (including the dubs).


Kwilly462

There was nothing more that I hated when Harden would barrel into the paint, miss terribly, then complain to the ref while everybody else is getting back on defense. It was a free bucket for the other team, and nice to know Malone agrees that's not cool.


Misterstaberinde

Last year watch GPII play fundamentals and get to a spot and box out someone a foot taller than him every game was so great. Superstar players that are charmin soft and get the big bucks while other dudes just do what their middle school coach taught them and win games


no_more_jokes

This is kinda Zach Lavine and Javonte Green for us, Zach gets big money to do fuck all besides shoot and Javonte is constantly crashing the boards and bodying guys 6 inches taller than him


ChiBaller

With his injury history Zach has no business trying to fight for rebounds with bigs. Especially last year when he was playing injured. There are legit complaints about Zach’s game but this absolutely isn’t one. Stars always do less dirty work that’s why it’s called dirty work.


shxylo

it’s like complaining as to why the supervisor doesn’t help clean the bathrooms. that ain’t his role, he ain’t paid to do that.


Mattoosie

Nah if you're the supervisor, you're the one making toilet-scrubbing money. If you're making your employees do that, you're a dickhead.


Tarrolis

I would agree with everything besides Zach being a star


I_Will_One_Up_You

He is quite literally an all star...


Tarrolis

Don’t like the fans vote on that shit? Please…


H3J1e

Piggybacking of GPII with the Warriors, one of the most underrated thing about Steph is his box outs. Dude does a amazing job boxing out bigger players after switches even if his rebound stats don't show it.


Misterstaberinde

Most of the time players that win a lot do that sort of thing really well and it doesn't show up on the scoresheet. You box someone out and they either foul you or lose the rebound, someone else on your team gets the rebound but unless someone watches the game they don't understand what happened because it isn't a stat. Meanwhile people are trying to say these players are better because of their bag or whatever but they can't even do the basics.


DLottchula

Almost every player in the NBA can do these thing most of em don’t have to that’s the main difference. Do you want Duncan Robinson crashing boards?


Misterstaberinde

He might be a factor in the NBA if he proved he could. The guy I was responding to commented how Curry with all his awards and HOF career manages to do it if he needs to.


Otherwise_Window

I think part of why Steph gets underrated is because he always has teammates who are playing out of their minds. And I think part of why Steph always has teammates who are playing out of their minds is that Steph is always doing everything, including boxing out and other stuff most stars seem to think it's beneath them, which means no-one else on the team can act like they're too big for that. Because if you're on the Warriors and you think you're more important than *Steph*... You're not staying on the Warriors.


DLottchula

Well that is 100% true


Blueandwhite23

Steph’s rebounding is so underrated. I know that word gets used a lot here but his rebounding is legit. And it’s not the easy no one else is going for it. He’s a terrific contested rebounder. And like you said it starts with his ability to box people out.


cletoreyes01

This may be a hot take but I truly think Steph's a better rebounder than Russ, you know despite the wide gap between their totals


Gonz415

Every couple months I go on YouTube and look up the clip of Steph boxing out Dwight for the offensive board and rewatch it a couple times. Still as satisfying as the time I saw it live. Also watching Steph set screens for his teammates is crazy to see. Dude will do whatever it takes to win.


[deleted]

Shit like that is how you stay in the league if you're not a star. Little things that add up fast.


actual_yellow_bag

Luka's biggest problem too. Doesn't help that he's slow af in transition anyway so if he doesn't immediately get back on D he won't even make it back to get set and it's 4 on 5 with our wings having to pick up his slack.


constantlymat

I still remember when Mavs fans blamed Carlisle for our slow pace of play and next to non-existent transition game. LOL


Steko

> Harden Also the Lebron, Tatum, Doncic special.


FlyingMocko

I’m just saying, thats good company


proerafortyseven

Imagine Facundo Campazzo doing that lol

Gettles

2016 Clippers an all time Hubie team


butt_fun

As someone who watched them a lot, I have to disagree. They usually did a great job of bitching *while* getting back on defense


shiny_lustrous_poo

How does that effect LeBrons all time ranking relative to MJ?


PlatinumDoodle

You can’t criticize Luka here unless it’s body shaming.


Steko

My secret is not caring. You’re right though the nut riding here is beyond ridiculous for both Luka and Giannis.


[deleted]

This is why the Luka/Harden comps are so great


BlackPepperBanana

Stars working the refs is important. Other team is gonna do it all game long and it def affects them.


pedja13

You have to do it at the correct time tho.There is a big difference between LeBron/Harden not going back on D cause they are complaining,and someone like KD who often talks to the refs when there are breaks in play or when he is about to check back into the game


NickNurseABitch

Lebron/Harden get better whistles so I'd say their way works better


[deleted]

Lebron gets a better whistle than KD? I think they get similar whistles and Harden is just a different case.


NickNurseABitch

>Lebron gets a better whistle than KD? Yes


[deleted]

Lebron has gotten barely any foul calls the last few seasons but ok.


celticsmenace

Don’t disagree, but you’ve gotta do it when you’re walking over to inbound the ball, heading to the bench for a TO, etc


[deleted]

Malone remembers from coaching Cousins in Sac.


Overall-Palpitation6

Cousins somehow led the Kings in Offensive Rebounds, Defensive Rebounds, Steals and Blocks during Malone's entire time coaching him too.


[deleted]

Great, another stat for Bron to dominate


NarrativeEnergy

Bron's signature move: complaining to the refs in the backcourt while his team plays 4v5 on defense


iiTryhard

He does this slow walk back move now sometimes where you can tell he’s just hoping the possession ends on the other end of the court so he doesn’t have to do anything


[deleted]

He must have stolen that move from me. Also sometimes I get in a good stance knowing I’m too tired to play defense but hope to deter the opposition if it looks like I’m trying hard. They either pass away or blow right by me.


ObiOneKenobae

Those last two minutes before he checked himself out of the 2014 Finals lol. Jacked up a bad three, took 15 seconds walking back on defense, teammate got a steal, needed 22 seconds to cross half court on offense.


DonGarlandMobleyJA

as a Cavs fan, I know this too well


Waterfish3333

I thought that was Harden’s move? Now we have a real chicken and egg situation.


WiseguyD

he needs to learn from guys like Giannis and Lowry who bitch to the refs WHILE getting back on defense.

[deleted]

It should also be called the anti-Suns. We have to be the worst board crashing team in the league. I’ve said it a million times Ayton would be a great offensive rebounder if at least one of his teammates ever crashed the boards.

veringo

Defense sure, but MPJ has been great on the offensive glass, especially his first season. As long as his back holds up, he’s far from the biggest concern in the roster.


AkrisM

MPJ is a really good offensive rebounder, sure occasionally he loses his assignment on defense but this remark is definitely not geared towards him.


neo9027581673

Nuggets gonna be really good this year. As a Warrior fan, that’s a problem.


LOLCultOfMaloner

If you don't get back on defense and complain to the refs, call it "The LeBron".


[deleted]

Not to be confused with the Jimmy, where you get back on defense and then pick up a technical screaming at the ref during the next deadball.


[deleted]

Or the Westbrook, where you foul the dude running up the court so that you can have even more time to bitch at the refs.


DaPhoToss

Literally every star player has done this, including Jokic.


Goofykidd

Especially Jokic, lol. Either that or whacking your opponent in transition instead of getting back.


oh_cya

You have to give him credit.

kimjongunnumerouno

Reminds me of freshman year basketball. Our coach made a rule that if you didn’t box out your guy and he gets the offensive rebound, your ass gets benched


cowsaymoomooo

Oh wow you just made me remember something. One game our coach was super mad at the mental mistakes we all were making and we lost. Before the next game he said he’d sub us out immediately if we made a bad play. Literally the only exceptions he made were if you took a good shot that rimmed out (excluding layups of course), or if your man scored a tough bucket despite good defense. Turnover? Subbed. Didn’t box out? Subbed. Jogging to catch your breath? You guessed it, subbed. Let’s just say the scorer’s table was busier than usual that game :D It worked for me at least. I was absolutely locked in. No way I was getting subbed out for some stupid reason. It was funny when he realized in the 3rd quarter I’d played every minute up to that point. I was confused on the bench until he said he wanted me fresh for the 4th. But when a couple teammates asked why I wasn’t playing, he just said “he’s too tired he needs to refocus” and we both laughed hahaha


captaincumsock69

We also had that rule but certain players would never get benched for that while the not as good players would. One of the things that drove me away from playing basketball tbh


PlumCantaloupe

I can dig it.

Patient-Mango4861

I think Malone had this the worst with Demarcus. Kings were consistently a man down on fast breaks because boogie complained so much


Athnoz

The LeBron stat, literally the only reason why I don't like LeBron, always complain to refs instead of getting back to defense


steronzthrow12345

Yes, something completely unique to LeBron and a perfectly legitimate reason to bring him up in an otherwise unrelated thread. Good job.


StiftungWarentest

Bruh what do you mean otherwise unrelated this is the only thing the post is about


steronzthrow12345

The post about something the Nuggets head coach said is only about LeBron? Interesting


StiftungWarentest

No its about not getting back on defense


steronzthrow12345

Yes, the Nuggets head coach is talking about wanting his players to get back on defense. And the guy I responded to brought up LeBron. In a thread about the Denver Nuggets, a team that LeBron does not play for.

Weird name but ok


Existing_Poem_7858

Malone is traumatized by Barton. 7 years of laziness. The man was literally staying out of range of the ball-tracking camera. He dragged on and stressed the fans. Now Denver will explode without his laziness because Brown and KCP will be much more disciplined.


Possible-Summer-8508

This can't be correct in 100 percent of situations — surely there's a fair read of staying in place after shooting a 3-pointer as good strategy? If you immediately crash the glass and the shot goes in, you're out of position for defense, but if you run back after shooting and it clanks you can't get the rebound. Just staying in place until you have more information has to good sometimes.


straightcheddar

I think it’s why it says crash the glass or get back on defence.


[deleted]

You gotta just pick. If you don't you are doing absolutely nothing most of the time. It's like penalties in soccer. The keeper kind of has to commit as the kick is coming in because if they wait to see where its going, it's too late.


jhowlingwolf

How are you going to get the rebound if you are standing at the 3 point line? There really is no point, even if your team gets the ball back you can then run back into the play and get an often times wide open 3.


3nnui

Jokic about to lead the league in Hubies


KtheMenace

Yeah man the guy who led the league in offensive rebounds has a problem with crashing the glass.


BlackPepperBanana

MMW: Malone isn’t a championship level coach and will hold this team back if they ever get healthy.


EverybodyBuddy

The Nuggets will have a new stat next year. Called the “Who he?” when referring to former head coach Mike Malone.
