Yeah not really shoes,more like soles under your shoes that cause you to walk on your tippy toes non-step. It was back around 2004ish. 

 

A different brand but these:

Lol! You really walked around in those. What did your parents think?

Dude....I want Marcus Smart in my team Everytime. Dirty play by JR. Could've been real bad.

Frick JR’s dirty play. This series isn’t over though. Cavs have a lot of time until Saturday to recover. Appeared to me that Bron was gassed in the third.

It sure isn't but it's telling that he scored 42 and they still lost.

I've long thought that Al Horford was soft but he has shown up so much lately.

They’re going to be home for the next three games I think. If they lose one of those, then it’s time to panic.

JR Smith has to get going if the Cavs want a chance as well. He is throwing up bricks. Seems to me every time he and Love scores 15 they win.

Other than Hill( he’s been decent),  all of their new additions have been subpar as well.The Cavs gave up IT, Crowder, and Wade for Hill, Hood, Green, and Nance? When is those trades going to pay dividends?

I remember those well. They were around sooner than 04, prob 99 or 00. I really wanted a pair myself but couldn't convince parents to pay or let me pay $100-150 for the shoes. They work though. 

I was a drop step dunk away from my game going to another level.

Clev next two. Cavs gotta win 4. Celts just need 2 more wins. They need to make solid adjustments and I have full trust in Brad to come up with another great game plan. Only way they lose with the way the Cavs been playing is if and WHEN the refs interfere. In reality the Celts should sweep. They gotta take 1 of these games away. I think Cavs win next game....But of course I said that about last game.

I still really couldn’t dunk in games like I wanted to. I only did it one time but it was nice to check dunking off my bucket list. I don’t know if the shoes worked but the air alert program definitely did help. There were so many box jumps and high knee jumps calisthenics, that it would make your legs sore as heck.

I don’t know if it’s the homecooking that does it, or just comfortability, but role players certainly play better at home. Y’all will have to continue keeping JR, Klay, Hill, and somewhat Love in check.

JR will keep himself in check. Not worried about him. Bron could go for 50 and they'll still lose. Weather the storm. Fight. You saw Cavs had 10 uncontested shots all game and Celts had 25 I believe they said?

You’re right, Celtics have to win 4. It feels though that Lebron thought he could come out and punch Boston in the mouth the first half and they would roll over and he could cruise second half. These Celtics are too resilient for that. Also, it looked like Thompson and Love were going to act like some tough guys. 

Thompson was in Morris’ face and Love was getting a little chippy with Brown. Brown will roast love with athleticism and Morris is a lot more than Thompson wants to tangle with. Right now, the Celtics just seem more athletic and mentally tougher than Cleveland.

I never had a dunk in a school game, but I did have a moment of glory in a pickup game my senior year during exit exam week. I poster'd 2 guys with a dunk as they went for the block. They were a step late. Best week ever, in the gym 4+ hours out of school day.

Nicely done  ✅ I miss them days when I was almost athletic but not really.

Houston is playing pretty good tonight.

I am captain spectator. The rockets are doing well at home. I don’t hate GS like you do either so I’m not as hyped either way.
