Matthew Dellavedova Appreciation

[Take_Note]

Was at game last night, any time Dellavedova made a basket or dove at the ball crowd went nuts

Awesome vid. Must have been incredible being there last night

If she's married, dunno if her hubby could ever recapture the twinkle in her eyes that are gazing on young Delly.

She's married, 3 kids and a secretary for an office.

Any update on his cramping situation? He went to the hospital after the game last night right?

update for what?

it's all over yahoo's front page

"Cavs Star taken to hospital"

"NBA Final's hero given IV"


smh

Right before Draymond went at his chest with an elbow.

These things are avoided when the initial foul is called first.

breh, a chest in the elbow is a hard play

retaliating by diving into the back of someones legs isn't

this guy frequently dives at peoples legs (pretends like he's diving for loose balls) and nothing is called.

It's like when he legged lock Taj Gibson and even after they reviewed the play they saw no wrong in what he did. He continues to get away with Dirty plays and the refs are allowing it.

Extending your elbow in that manner while setting a screen is a foul.

Delly is not in that position to hit him low if the elbow isn't extended.

I'm just out here playing ball. I didnt know girls were choosing like that.

looks like her head is photoshopped

breh, what are you arguing?

That the foul was reason enough for Delly to go after the back of players legs.

You see it all the time with Delly, anytime he gets roughed up or rattled he starts doing dirty ish. Horford, Taj, etc etc. He retaliates and does dirty ish but is never called for it.

Breh NEVER stops bringing "effort"
the entire game, you have to respect that.

The point is if the foul is called there is less likely a chance for retaliation.

Officiating sets the tone....allowing players to get away with shyt makes the game get uglier.

Grantland had a hilarious-ass writeup on Delly today:

Every avenue of human endeavor has its “I could do that” avatars: individuals or groups whose success at a given craft appears so out of proportion with their technical abilities that it makes the entire undertaking seem somehow more accessible to the rest of us. More doable. Slacker and Clerks were “I could do that” movies. In music, you could point to the Ramones. Matthew Dellavedova is an “I could do that” NBA player.

Delly seems as if he’s a second away from dribbling off his foot at all times. His jumpers often resemble the reflexive twitch of the muscles that happens when a person gets a wet willy. Those shots — shots that if you were playing at the park and Delly was on your team, you would apologize to your opponents for — somehow end up going in. Again, don’t question it.

He’s got a career PER of 9.6. Right now, as you sit at your desk or cubicle or breakfast nook or whatever, your PER is probably closer to Delly’s than Delly’s is to LeBron’s career 27.7 PER. His elite skill is that opponents look at him and go, “How the fukk is this even happening?”

Delly held Steph Curry to 36 percent shooting through three quarters. Dellavedova shot 4-of-6 on contested field goal attempts and 3-of-11 on uncontested field goal attempts, per NBA.com. Why?Because. The last of those contested shots came with less than three minutes left in the fourth, Cavs up by one, on a sequence in which Delly dribbled around a screen to the foul line with all the practiced grace of a newborn foal falling down an ice-glazed hill. The shot went in, plus the foul.

Matthew Dellavedova is touched. By the fates, by god, by luck, by forces beyond human understanding. Don’t question it. Just surrender to it.

Delly is the kind of guy that, if he’s on your team, you love him. If he’s not, you end up getting reconstructive knee surgery.

Damn.

It was, friends and family told me I was on SportsCenter for about a half hour too when they did the post-game analysis. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Downtown Clev was crazy after the game

The art of Shaq-fu

all of Shaq's fight shows him throwing the most un-effective/wild punches. The irony of him getting his own fighting video game

How did you get tickets? I would think they would sell out in seconds.
