Game 7 Sam Merrill

Knicks on pace to win back-to-back closeout games by 40....

I think the Knicks can match the Thunder or Spurs. The key to stopping the Knicks is not allowing KAT to become a distributor.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Mike Brown is the master of "rip/back screens".

They are becoming the new "split" screen variant; it's so hard to guard and creates so much confusion for switching defenses.

The Derrick White Files (76ers Game 7)

https://t.co/4DPZdjiiF6

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

The 76ers just put on a clinic vs drop coverage.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

I like this concept from the Celtics.

Stack --> Zoom --> Shake

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Deni Avdija is All-NBA good.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

I think Joe Mazzulla spent the summer watching the Thunder's defensive schemes...

They use the 5-man similarly in the "goalie" esque role, repelling all drives, but also having players on the perimeter take every drive as the "next" man.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Deni Avdija is so good at intiating bumps and finishing through that contact.

41 points on 15-22 FG vs Phoenix

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

@bjpf_ Haliburton, Nembhard, Siakam, Boozer, Zubac - is a dangerous lineup. I see the Pacers taking the winner or the "potential."

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

UConn vs Illinois on Black Friday was the biggest wash ever.

1. UConn never trailed
2. Mullins' debut
3. Wagler 14 total minutes

What will this game look like? I expect Braylon to come out firing; He will pick up just where he left off.

Huskies by double figures.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

@statsbywill That team was legendary with Trevor Hudgins and Ryan Hawkins. Almost beat Duke in an exhibition!

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

@PickAndPopNet They love baseline "runner" sets.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Darius Acuff Jr. might end up as the best player in this class. I see flashes of DRose (less athletic obviously). He is bigger than Iverson, but scores so similarly.

Darius is one of one in this class. Best PG and maybe the best player when its all said and done.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Duke playing zone in the NCAA Tournament is shocking. Can’t imagine Scheyer thought he would be using it in the first weekend. Let alone in two straight games.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Illinois is really good. The offense can switch gears very quickly and if you aren’t cued in defensively they will light you up.

So many ways they can beat you with Boswell, Wagler, Mirkovic,Stojakovic, and others. Such unique skillsets.

Very dangerous matchup for Houston!

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

Is Darius Acuff Jr. the best lob thrower in this class?

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

@bjpf_ I get major Sengun vibes from him. Unusual mover, but extremely high basketball IQ.

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

All-NBA upside.

[Brett Usher @UsherNBA]

Stephon Castle year-two downhill craft

[HoopTalkTV @HoopTalkTV_]

@bjpf_ The switching was a concern, too. Michigan may not see a passer like Smith again, but Cluff and TKR got whatever they wanted on switches.
