T-mac's new shooting technique

similar to his shot in the 04-05 playoff series when he was launching 3s over dirk with the shot clock winding down. jvg was talking earlier about how the only thing he asks of tmac's shot selection is to get more arc under it.

 

yeah, it's 1 degree higher.

 

no its 13.223 degrees

 

yeah, divided by the tangent of PI.

 

Simple fact is he's back is stronger. it means he has more power in he's realease point. hence the higher looking shot.

 

repeating of course.

 

of course you meant infinitely recurring....

 

With a standard derivation of 0.135 degrees.

 

You mean deviation of course...

 

...and softer. His shot is softer, arcier, truer.

 

i tihnk he's finding it easier to get in a rythm since he's our #1, #2, and #3 option.

all of those shots, all of the time spent with the ball in his hand, just helps him get the feel of the shot better. i don't see anything different in his mechanics.

 

Ya'll are seeing something I'm not. His treys against Seattle were sweet, but they looked like clothesliners to me.

 

What do you expect from a guy who's head nearly hits the roof of the Toyota Center when he elevates?

 

also lets not forget, the nba switched back to the old ball...I think he is a lot more comfortable with the leather ball!

 

I notice he finishes with a more prounounced kick in his right leg on the long J's

 

i think that kickedout leg is hawt. jk

 

I don't think his shots have more arc in them at all, a lot of his shots and mostly his 3 pointers are still line drives. Someone mentioned it already, but he has a lot more confidence in his back, so he is able to elevate more on his jumper.

 

Exacly! It's all on his elevation.

 

one thing is he's releasing the ball quicker. when he was sucking he looked like he was already coming back down by the time he let the ball go. now it actually looks like he's releasing it at the top of the jump like you're supposed to.
