huh weird wldnt have thought of that i feel like it helps me see the game better and plays in basketball are so much more wide open than in football anyway, theyre just sketches really, also the best nba players consistently destroy all schemes employed against them which is a neat feature and a good argument against stats tendency to value efficiency above everything and glorify role players who like hit a lot of open threes

nfl fans appreciation of scheme is def way ahead of the nbas tho, almost entirely because of madden (the game)
― lag∞n, Friday, 29 December 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
i think nba schematic stuff can be interesting but it’s a little abstract and in the back of my mind i’m always thinking about how many teams even basic scheme breaks down and teams have to improv.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 29 December 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link
its scheme vs scheme but sometimes u gotta just make something happen!
― lag∞n, Friday, 29 December 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link
its not any coincidence that the best team over the long haul the spurs is also the most dedicated to quality robust scheming

It's interesting to observe and contemplate at times, but most of the time I don't want to have to think like a coach when I'm watching which is why I agree w/Jordan for most part.

like Thibs (to take the extreme example) does not look like he ever enjoys watching NBA guys play and I don't want to be anywhere near him on that spectrum.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 29 December 2017 21:01 (six years ago) link
reading about nba at a granular level has def improved my understanding and enjoyment of the game, but i think it's mostly about the way pick and rolls playout, defensive coverages generally etc. reading about set plays and that kinda stuff doesn't appeal to me much right now, tho it can be fun to recognize plays happening in real time
― J0rdan S., Friday, 29 December 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
otm. i like when teams run plays that you start to recognize like elevator doors when someone is hot, or the hammer play that the spurs made now everyone does. but for the most part i just like to watch without thinking about it too much. i do like watching defensive switching, though.
― Spottie, Friday, 29 December 2017 21:19 (six years ago) link
yeah i mean im def not in coach mode when im watching nba my awareness of plays and schemes has gone from like 1% to 7% im still mostly in it for sick hooping and big wins
― lag∞n, Friday, 29 December 2017 22:13 (six years ago) link
knowledge of "advanced stats" and knowledge of schemes/plays are of course not diametrically opposed things, as lagoon mentions you need some sort of grasp of scheme to be able to place advanced stats into context, and to understand the limitations of individual statistics

could be why:
Last season, DeRozan took 31% of his shots from 16 ft to the 3 pt line. 8% of his shots were 3s.So far this season (before tonight's game), the long 2s are down to 18.7% and 3s are up to 16.3%.— Dave DuFour (@DaveDuFourNBA) January 2, 2018

kelly can kill most centers on offense but has some rim protection issues vs teams that have guys who really get to the rim

Kind of amazing that it’s come to this: The Thunder rank 26th in halfcourt offensive efficiency, per Synergy Sports. Just behind the Magic, Bulls, and Grizzlies.
