"hip mobility" is the new scouting buzzword lol

marcus would be an amazing player development coach someday. he talks the game really well.

such obvious passion too

yeah i could see him really wanting to do a job like that

never been clear to me who the guys are who help the players do drills, are they on the development staff or what they tend to be young theyre not coaches theyre not ball boys

never seen this play before. the pacers used it to break the jazz zone. it's like the elevator doors play but in reverse

this is cool

Ralph Miller, the coach of the Oregon State Beaver hoops team from 1970-1989 favored a similar heavily pass-oriented offense. I think he cribbed it from Phog Allen. He hated to see his guards dribbling more than twice.

Fascinating video

that was great, thanking u

Ya watched that a couple weeks ago and been telling all my bball friends about it

love it

I made diagrams of 34 types of ballscreens, from Angle PnR to Wedge Roll

If you see a pick-and-roll but don't know its name so you can't look it up, try looking for it on this page and hopefully you'll find the right one

i want to thank caruso for shaving his head

love that

hes really thinking about the shot clock good stuff

chasing down the origin of the shamgod https://theathletic.com/3139815/2022/02/24/the-unknown-history-of-the-shammgod-crossover-or-as-philly-calls-it-the-pooh-allen

guess nba assistant pooh allen did it on national tv when shamgod was still in high school lol

“If you know Pooh,” Rozier said, “you know he’s going around showing people that clip.”

finally track down the penn coach who taught it to pooh and

O’Hanlon said he doesn’t remember when he first did “The Reach Across.” He was always trying to come up with new moves and discovered this one on his own and never saw anyone do it before him. “I did come up with that,” he said. “I didn’t steal it from anyone.”

it looks like he's using some wrist action to generate backspin rather than like flicking it off the fingers as one does. definitely a little weird.

looks like hes catching then adjusting so his hand is way on top and to the side of the ball then compensating for that weird placement by thumbing very intensely, good luck man

yeah some sort of pre-shot rotation. takes him so long to set it up yikes.

i wonder how common it is for teams to include stuff like ppp and ts% in communicating with players

The Bucks have tweaked their approach to pick-and-roll defense this season and the early results are extremely promising - they're taking away all of the juiciest options and forcing teams to settle for more tough shots. https://t.co/k7gm0R1zdi pic.twitter.com/0DNjv3GYnu

i like those visualizations!

found these defensive mistakes videos which look at more minute details than most breakdowns positioning routes on screens etc and the guy is just bitching the whole time hes really disappointed in the players lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpDYP4Xzkjw

Love that. Luka not shaking the harden comparisons lol. That Javale signing looks crazier by the day. Do they have even a single plus defender on the roster outside of dorian?

hes like harden who shows up in the playoffs

Harden made the conf finals a couple times

he made finals once even but his playoff numbers are bad where luka has killed it, which makes sense to me hardens game has always been a little gimmicky but luka is a flat out baller

omg that defensive mistakes video had me in tears.

it’s like your uncle morty giving you a hard time about your shoes

🚨BREAKDOWN🚨

Steve Kerr added a new ATO set that takes advantage of 3 concepts:

1) Steph Curry's gravity
2) Steph Curry's screening
3) Jordan Poole's downhill explosion

Simple but brilliant play design that makes full use of the team's dynamic offensive weapons.

good one on haliburton, its crazy how much he uses the look away or just keeps his eyes on the rim, its like he can take a snapshot and doesnt even need to look anymore

caitlin cooper wrote a whole thing on haliburtons jump passing https://www.indycornrows.com/platform/amp/2022/8/3/23285985/on-the-aerial-exploits-of-tyrese-haliburton which tyrese actually shouted out on jj redicks podcast

what is this shot

This is one of the wildest shooting forms I’ve witnessed 😭💀 pic.twitter.com/nbizW4kclM

wild that he is a 10 year vet and shoots like that

never shouldve let him back in

coach nicks dream is coming true

I don't think we're talking enough about how Victor Wembanyama is making floater 3-pointers a thing over in France. He's made multiple of these shots this season, and it breaks my brain every time he does it. Think Luka is the only other person I've seen try this more than once? pic.twitter.com/5T3MhWjit6

good video, really interesting, although it’s not like they’re getting the most amazing shots in those clips. it does seem like it’s great for their role players in terms of making them all threats to cut to the basket or get an open shot.

Cool video.

new archetype dropped

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMmCd42hGQg

tough thing about about the big non shooting slashing forwards is you really need to pair them with a shooting center which is a pretty big constraint, now if the big non shooting slashing forward can just play center themselves at least some of the time thats a lot better but scotty barnes amen thompson are too small, if i was houston i would build the team around this concept tho cause i dont think amens going to learn to shoot but hes so good otherwise, unfortunately the team they have now is kinda the opposite of that

So we need more of the accompanying archetype (Channing Frye)

ya tho the thing is theyve also got to be able to defend you need brook lopez tho in the case of brook lopez giannis could easily just play full time center hes hoarding brook lopez

Yeah i was trying and failing to be funny by naming Frye, as the center who could do nothing but make 3s. Lopez is def the actual archetype there and pairing him with Giannis one of the better GM moves of recent years, akin to Denver bringing in Gordon.

it was funny cmon

lol

the big slashing forward offense would be perfect for paulo but instead the magic run exactly the opposite playing slow and having no shooters, hes been wrecking shit for the last while btw despite being on the worst team for him, free paulo

great video

the heat hired the weird offense assistant who was fired from memphis and now theyre running weird offense

and it's amazing!

i gotta check out some heat basketball

idk if i would go that far however for people that do have been consistently checking out heat basketball for the last few years it has been like water in a desert, and for them to be hovering around the top 10 in offensive rating w/o herro and w/o norm powell for 3 games now is a bit of a miracle
