Or just work on stepping back instead of forward and rack up tons more points 😂

Ball screens create the advantage.

From there, it’s simple: use it, share it, or recreate it."

Use It: Come off to score, go until stopped

Share It: 2 on the ball = share the ball

Recreate It: If the defense beats the action, get to another on ASAP

Reminds me of Ben McCollum quote about making the simple look complicated in terms of changing up screening angles and things like that.

@StephNoh The issue was the drop but PHI knowing the Celtics are trying to “next” coverage as they often pair that with their drops to stay out of unfavorable match ups. 76ers used spacing to single side or late flips of screens to stay away from nexting defense

Baiting the guard to guard switch in Spain action and coming off an exit screen is elite.

Duke also ran it earlier this season:

nobody with an eventful life has heard of an inverted spain pick and roll

[Chris Steed @csteed]

Arguably the best coaching performance of the Dan Hurley era in the second half of that one.

Every decision and adjustment was spot on, as it needs to be down 19 against the overall #1.

- they countered the Duke off ball switches with cross screen actions for Reed, chipping away at the lead + getting into bonus early in the second.

- the the double curl in a ‘need a 3’ spot worked perfectly; Duke couldn’t switch it out with Reed being the screener.

- most importantly, NOT automatically fouling with 10 seconds left, creating the TO that led to the game winning shot.

The fall of Sports Illustrated had a huge impact, IMO.

Getting a great cover and in-depth story in your mailbox 4-7 days after the event definitely prolonged the moment and served as anchor for the memory going forward.

If First Take, Inside the NBA & other basketball shows were locked in a room & told they don’t get out until they produce THIS TYPE OF ANALYSIS of today’s NBA, they’d be in that room a week later, dehydrated, confused & arguing about “back in my day”

They’re nostalgia merchants.

🚨 Tim Duncan - Short Roll 🚨

The Spurs were one of the first teams to consistently PUNISH aggressive PnR coverages. This led to teams switching/playing ‘positionless’ at a really high rate.

They were also one of the first teams, since the 80s, to win consistently without playing a heliocentric style (during the peak of the heliocentric era).

Pop’s innovation without the advanced analytics of today’s game was truly remarkable.

“There is power in touching the basketball.”

I remember Bill Belichick having his scout team receivers start three yards up the field in practice when the Patriots were preparing for the “The Greatest Show on Turf” and Super Bowl XXXVI to simulate the speed of the Rams.

[Anand Nanduri @NanduriNFL]

The real secret to what Belichick and Saban were able to do for years: they “hacked” the game appropriately, but were also the first to figure out how to stop what they were doing. You want to ignore linebackers? Cool, we’re loading up on TEs. Now you’ve adapted a few years later and got LBs, but they’re too slow to keep up with twitchy slot WRs.
