Game Thread #9: at Kings

San Antonio Spurs at Sacramento Kings, Nov 16, 2008 8:00 PM CST


Tonight I give Tim a lesson and the readers a challenge.  Yep, I'm calling Tim out AND the PtR faithful out in an early season game against the Kings.

Tonight isn't about fun and games.  It's about working hard, making ourselves better, and making a statement.  So put on your stinky unwashed practice shirt and don't think about leaving early.  We are doing wind sprints until we puke.  Then we are shooting free throws until we knock 'em down.

So come on in if you are willing to work hard and prove that you have what it takes to win.

Officials:  Garretson, Capers, Richardson

Keys To The Game:  

  • Who steps up?  - Kmart is out.  Manu is out.  Tony is out.  Who is going to generate offense for these two teams?  Whichever team has a role player or two chip in 10-12 points will have a huge advantage.
  • Beno vs George - I can't wait.  I want George to eat his lunch.
  • Jason Thompson - He's 6' 11" 250 lbs and starting at small forward.  Bruce can't handle him.  It will be interesting to see what kind of lineups we see from the Spurs against a team playing Big-Ball.

Some other reading:

You can find some Kings stuff at Sactown Royalty. Apparently, Reggie Theus is on the hot seat. The current lead item on the blog is a poll "Should Reggie Theus be fired right now?" 207 people have voted. 87% say "no".

It looks like we might have some challengers when it comes to game thread dorkiness. These guys put up 483 comments in an overtime loss to the Suns on Friday night. Not quite our 549 entertainment packed thriller against the Rockets, but they appear to take it seriously. Let's show 'em what we've got.

Free Throw Lesson for you and Tim:

Tonight I bring you the ATS 'How to Raise Your Free Throw Percentage By 10 Points'. Guar-an-teed!
Back in '03-'04 Tim hit rock bottom with his free throw shooting. Just two years after posting his still career-high 80%, he plummetted all the way down to a career low 60%. Every time he went to the line was like watching a train wreck. You didn't want to watch, but you just couldn't stop. He changed his approach about every third or fourth game. I can still remember some of the different things he tried: standing pigeon-toed, straight-legged, cupping the ball deep in his right hand, hands starting down by his knees, and the "I'm not going to shoot my free throws flat-footed" style of locking his knees and lifting his heels. My favorite, though, was when he had apparently decided that he was getting in his own head and decided to shoot them as fast as he could. The first few went OK, but then he just kept getting faster and faster, and it looked like he was scared to touch the ball. It was during this time that I developed by free throw lesson.

The Lesson has two components. The physical and the mental. We'll begin with the physical.

Shooting a baskeball is about rhythm. Great natural shooters have fantastic rhythm. Everything about their stroke is smooth. Guys who aren't great natural shooters have to find away to establish their rhythm. Think Bruce Bowen. If he's not in a corner, he looks awkward as hell. But, when he receives the ball in the corner he is in his rhythm and he has a great looking shot. I think Tim's problem at the free throw line is that he doesn't have a rhythm. He has a nice shot. Not great, but nice. When he gets and shoots a ball in rhythm he knocks down his 18 footers. When he hesitates, he gets out of rhythm. He never makes those shots.

So, the question becomes, how does Tim establish his rhythm at the free throw line. The answer is simple: Shoot with your quads. Let me say it again Shoot with your quads. Your quads are the key to a shot. Espcecially a free throw. I'm sure you have shot a basketball a few times in your day. You can't be a good shooter and shoot flat-footed. You can't be a good shooter and shoot a flat ball. You have to have an arc on it. Using your quads takes care of both these.

Give it a shot. Go outside to shoot a couple free throws and think about using your quads. I dare you to bend at the knee, lift with your quads as you shoot, and NOT end up on your toes. If you do, you are only doing to say that you can. It will feel like the most unnatural thing you have ever done without Powell involved.

The other part is that lifting with your quads gets your hips and torso moving vertically. This vertical movement gives your shot the arc it needs. Again, try shooting lifting with your quads. Can you even shoot a flat ball that way. Not naturally you can't.

Once you start focusing on using your quads to shoot, the rest of your shot should fall into a nice rhythm. Dipping and using your quads will force your hands and arms into rhythm with the rest of your boddy. I can almost guarantee that your release point will become more consisent if you do this.

Now that I have you (and Timmy hopefully) using your quads we can talk about the mental part of free throw shooting. Shooting is a bit of an art form. When you are doing it well, you just do it and don't think about it. When you struggle and start to think about it, you get worse. Until you stop thinking about it. But, this makes it hard to shoot under pressure. It makes it hard to shoot when you are tired. You have to find away to shoot with rhythm every time, without thinking about it. The answer isn't to shoot them as fast as you can. The answer is to have trigger that you focus on, then have faith in that trigger.

Again, you use your quads. You use the dip and the lift of your quads as your mental trigger. The only thing you focus on is making sure that you shoot with your quads. This allows you to remove your mind from the shot and shoot in rhythm. Think about other ways you can focus on a shot. You can focus on lifting your heels. You can focus on flicking your wrist. You can focus on keeping your elbow in. You can focus on having good rotation. But, I contend that focusing on any of those things will force you to eventually OVER use the muscles involved.

If you focus on using your calves to lift your heels, you will eventually lift too much or too fast with them. If you focus on flicking your wrist to rotate the ball, you will start to flick too hard or too fast. In addition, when you are tired, these smaller muscles are much harder to control. Your quads on the other hand, are very large muscles that move you through a long range of motion. It is much easier to maintain a rhythm when you are using a much stronger, much longer muscle. Quads don't twitch. Not like a forearm does. Think about it for a bit. If you wanted to have a nice repetitive smooth motion when you were tired, would it be your forearm flicking your wrist? Or your calves lifting your heels? Hell no. Smaller muscles are much harder to control under exhaustion.

You use your quads as your mental and physical trigger. It allows you to establish a rhythm that you are able to repeat. It allows you to trigger that rhythm while keeping your head out of your shot. Go outside and work on it a bit. Tell me you don't have good arc. Tell me you don't lift your heels. Tell me you don't have better rhythm.

Next time you see Tim at the line, watch his knees and quads. He rarely uses them. He has a flat shot. He has lousy rhythm. But, also watch next time he gets a ball kicked out to him at 18' and he shoots right away. He'll use his quads. He dips at his knees. His shot has an arc. And, he has fantastic rhythm on that shot. Tim Duncan should be shooting 80% from the free throw line. He just needs to use his quads.   If you see him, tell him I said so.  I'll give a lesson for free if he wants.  I'm that kind of nice guy.

We should win

just keep KevMartin in check just a little and run everything through Duncan. The Kings have nobody in the post that can defend Duncan at all. Sacto does a horrible job of containing dribble penetration, they don’t guard the three well, and they aren’t all that great inside. The key to Sacto is to control the tempo and to not let them run. As long as we defend well in transition and do our damnedest to keep Martin off the line, we should be fine. I’d suggest employing a Zone and encouraging Spencer Hawes and Brad Miller to shoot over the top. Let those two will lob threes and leave no-one inside to rebound.

Seriously, let Martin score 40 as long as he isn’t going to the line, just cut off everyone else and for the love of God, if you lose, don’t let it be because of the “Bobbys.”

Did I miss something or is KMart not playing?

So with KMart not getting his 40 pts, Spurs should win this one with a buzzer beater on the siren.

I got to say the kings are my “other” team…I know its against the rules to play fast and loose in my relationship with T.Duncan Esquire and his band of merry minstrels but I needed someone who had lower self esteem than I did.

The key to this game will be Spencer Hawes. He has been killing it this season, is getting a lot of blocks and rebounding well, shooting a very decent clip and making smarter decisions on offence, i would love to see him in San Antonio. Jason Thompson will rebound well also and I have nfi as mentioned previously by Hurra how Mr.Potatohead can defend someone thatas 6’11 and 250 plus quick.

Miller can score and facilitate an offence, salmons can score, udrih for all his foibles put 30 on the clippers the other day. It will be interesting to see which beno turns up tonight. If its aggressive beno then will be an entertaining matchup with George.

I think this is one the spurs really should win because Timmy can do whatever he wants to Brad miller.

It was his work ethic. The guy was just a total gym rat. Coach told him to get out once in a while, make a night out on the town, hit the night clubs, maybe put up a dorky Myspace page, but he just wouldn’t do it. “Gotta work on my defense, coach”, he would say, “gotta finish these 500 side-shuffles.” Pop tried coaxing him… he tried yelling… he tried benching him… nothing worked. He just couldn’t bear to watch a young man waste his youth on work, work, work, so he had to trade him.

I think yes. The defense was better against the Bucks. Milwaukee hit open jumpers. We’re giving the Kings free passes down the lane for layups.

‘O’ was the only Cirq show I saw, but I’ve heard great things about that new one. I used to go out to Vegas once a month. Have a friend heading out next week and we were just talking about ‘O’ vs. ‘Love,’ so I’ll have to point her in that direction.

Can’t ever go wrong with AJ, Penn&Teller, or Cirq though. Everything else is pretty much crap, but you won’t regret any of those. AJ and P&T are very eccentric though, so prepare for an atypical show.

Yes, LOVE is the chit! Tell her to go there. I don’t know if it was because of the music, but LOVE blows all the other Cirque shows out of the water.

We were just talking about going to see P&T. They have a 2-4-1 for locals, and me being the sheep bastard that I am might have to take someone up on that offer.

John Salmons has an effortless shooting stroke. It’s beautiful to watch.

Anthony Tolliver is my hero.

There’s his infamous energy.

Tollivers nickname should be Dickens..

as in the novel by Charles Dickens OLIVER TWIST!

insert Tolliver in all songs where the word oliver is used and you have a feel good musical bonanza for the entire family.

It’s like magic. I bet it’s Timmy’s wizard tatoo.

Are we allowed to post hot Eva Longoria pics to counter Timmy’s nipple?

by LatinD on Nov 16, 2008 9:13 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

non-hot Eva Longoria pics will counter Timmy’s nipple.

Who would not allow that? I’ll tell you who. A terrorist. And you’re not a terrorist are you?

by Hipuks on Nov 16, 2008 9:15 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Terrorism is posting a man’s nipple.

by Wayne Vore (ATS) on Nov 16, 2008 9:16 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

If man nipple posting’s are allowed, I think so, fair is fair!

Took me a while, but I found a pic of Tony’s own tattoo.

Sometimes he’s just too French.

by LatinD on Nov 16, 2008 9:16 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

too french, and in that pic

he’s got those ultra-pointy way-archy eyebrows like The Count on Sesame Street

they almost look like little bats in flight, ready to take off from his face

As does Farmer, again. The Kings are bigger (Moore, Miller, Hawes) than several teams we have played recently. I expect more Bonner, KT and less of those guys in the 2nd. Unless Pop gets crazy and wants to run smalball on them

I liked Hill’s energy on that one, even though he didn’t make it. We need people to do that kind of thing with Manu and Tony out.

Mason is not a specialist at anything, but he does everything (rebounding, passing, defense, shooting) pretty well.
