Speaker 1: We're gonna be hitting some of those at the tail

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: end of the show. All right, let's talk some basketball.

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: So some stats from the dominant first game of the

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: season from the Boston Celtics. They got one point three

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: points per half court possession. That's obnoxious to good. A

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: one thirty offensive rating in static half court environments where

59
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: the Knicks had their defense set that's insane. They took

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: sixty nine jump shots and got one point three to

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: four points per attempt. That's insane. They generated twenty unguarded

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: catch and shoot threes. They got one point sixty five

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: points per attempt on those shots. They took thirty off

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: the dribble jump shots, made fourteen of them for one

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: point three points per attempt. They got one point two

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: to three points per pick and roll including passes, one

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: point seven to one points per ISO including passes, one

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: point seven five points per post up including passes, and

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: they converted spot up possessions at one point five to

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: eight points per possession. All those numbers are insane in

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: any of those categories. When you're over one point per

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: possession by any amount, that's good. And they were substantially

73
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: over one point per possession, closer to two points per

74
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: possession in many of those cases. It's about as dominant

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: of an offensive performance as you will see. Again, as

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: we talked about last night, a lot of attacking Karl

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns, Jericho Sims, and Jalen Brunson in action with Brunson,

78
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: they did it a couple of different ways. Like a

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: lot of times you'll see them attack players with the

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: live dribble, meaning like or as the screener. So like

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: if Brunson is guarding a guy who doesn't have the ball,

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: and let's say Jason Tatum as the ball, you bring

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: Jaln Brunson's man into the action. Brunson has to hedge, right.

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: We talked about that last night, but they also did

85
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff like that where they just had

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Jlen Brunson on the ball. So essentially Jalen Brunson's guarding

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: Derek White. Derek White's dribbling out above the break, and

88
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: they'll have someone like Tatum come up and set a

89
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: screen and McHale Bridges doesn't want to switch because it

90
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: causes the same problem where now Brunson is on Tatum,

91
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: so McHale Bridges is hedging to try to prevent Derek

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: White from just driving right down to the rim and

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: then Tatum would slip out of it and get wide open.

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: A lot of attacking Brunson like that. The Karl Anthony

95
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Towns and Jericho Sims stuff was just classic drop coverage

96
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: stuff just off on the ball, but also off the ball,

97
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: where like they use Karl Anthony Towns as man or

98
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Jericho simms his man to screen down. Then he's going

99
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: to help as the guy's coming to curl over the top.

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: And if he's sitting too far back, he can just

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: come right off of that screen and come right out

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: and shoot a three right they It's one of those

103
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: things where we talked about this last night. When it

104
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: comes to Boston, you can't give them baked in advantages, right.

105
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: What that means is like if there is a coverage

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: that has an automatic advantage that's baked in, so like

107
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: if you're hedging and the shooter slips out, he's going

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to be wide open every single time. There's no version

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: of that where you can recover in time. It's not possible.

110
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: If the ball handler threatens at all coming off the

111
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: screen and you hold your hedge long enough to stop

112
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: that driving lane, the guy slipping out of the screen

113
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: is guaranteed to be open. And so if you give

114
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Boston like baked in openings, they're so good at capitalizing

115
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: on those that you're going to get killed. Jason Tatum too,

116
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: Like you know what, we talked a lot last night

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: about how Boston can generate easy shots, and obviously that's

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: the Lion's share of what they do offensively, But there

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of really tough individual shot creation from

120
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum last night. Tough isolation jump shots, tough driving layups.

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: He had a couple of these ridiculous passes. He had

122
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: a lefty feed to Luke Cornett where a brief window

123
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: opened up between the rim and that dunker spot area

124
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: where there were literally two nicks surrounding Cornette, and Cornette

125
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: just kind of slipped into that gap and Tatum just

126
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: rifled the left handed pass that had him right in

127
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the hands and he was able to pump fake to

128
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: get Jericho Sims off of his feet and get an

129
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: easy layup. And then there was another one where he

130
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: came off of a ball screen at the top of

131
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: the key induce mcbright on the right side, sucked into

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: the paint just a little bit, like didn't even get

133
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: all the way into the paint. He came like maybe

134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: three four steps off of I believe it was Derek White,

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: and Tatum comes off in just rifles a left handed

136
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: pass that gets on a rope right into the shooting pocket,

137
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: a knocks down the three. Just some really really high level,

138
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: high degree of difficulty shot creation from Jason Tatum last night.

139
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: Here is an absolutely bonker stat that will blow your

140
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: mind about just how good of a night that Jason

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Tatum had last night. He ran twenty four ball screens

142
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: last night, various concepts right so guard screens and slipping

143
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: out of it, a big man coming up, set in

144
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: and pick popping or rolling that sort of thing. Out

145
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: of twenty four ball screens that Jason Tatum ran last night,

146
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: ball screens in ISOs, so ISOs, in ball screens combined

147
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: static shot creation situations, the Celtics scored fifty five points

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: on them. They shot twenty for twenty four from the

149
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: field in Tatum ISOs and pick and rolls. That's two

150
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: point twenty nine points per possession. One point twenty nine

151
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: would be very very good. That's like off the charts,

152
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: completely outrageous shot creation from Jason Tatum last night. He

153
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: was ten for thirteen on jump shots, himself four for

154
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: five at the rim. Just again, it's only one game,

155
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: and I for the record, it's not possible to maintain

156
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: that level of play. If Tatum maintains that level of

157
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: play's best basketball player of all time, and that's obviously

158
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: not going to happen. But if he can stay even

159
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: anywhere in the same stratosphere of the way that he

160
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: produced last night, now we're talking about a guy that

161
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: could very much win MVP if he can keep up

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: this level of play. Boston at a one forty five

163
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: offensive rating last night, We're gonna take a lot of

164
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: look at that on film. I've got about twenty clips

165
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: from that particular game. On the Lakers front, they did

166
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: a lot of stagnate, like a switching to try to

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: stagnate Minnesota. So essentially, if you're running a screening action,

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: that's where you get those baked in advantages. Right. This

169
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: is a big thing I talked about last night with

170
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: the Knicks. If you're the Knicks and you're trying to

171
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: beat Boston, you basically have two options for trying to

172
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: prevent them from attacking Jalen runs In and Karl Anthony Towns.

173
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: One is just switching everything right, and then you have

174
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: to ask those guys to contain. Option two is pre switching,

175
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: which is something that Boston does a lot. They did

176
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: it a lot last night to protect guys like Luke Cornett.

177
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: That means like Luke Cornett's man is coming up to

178
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: set a ball screen because the Knicks are trying to

179
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: attack Luke Cornett, well, Drew Holliday might just be like,

180
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: I'll run with him, you go switch to my man. Now.

181
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: There was this interesting possession last night where like Jericho

182
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: Simms I think it was Jericho Simms and Michale Bridges

183
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: can't remember who the two Nicks were, but they were

184
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: trying to decide who was going to go set a

185
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: screen for Deuce McBride. And as they're trying to pick

186
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: at first, Jericho goes to go, but then he sees

187
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: that Drew Holliday is pre switched on to him, so

188
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: then he stops and he's like, this ain't gonna work.

189
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: So he runs back and points to the other Nick

190
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: who is in that action and says, you go set

191
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: a screen for him, and then he runs up and

192
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday switches on to him, and then Jericho goes like,

193
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: oh shit, I guess I'll go set it now. He

194
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: runs up and Drew Holiday switches again onto Jericho Simms.

195
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: As he goes up, then they're able to just switch

196
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: the ball screen. That's pre switching. That is a way

197
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: that you can protect your weaker defensive players. So just

198
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Imagine a scenario where let's say Mikael Bridges is on

199
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: the ball and you have og Anobi on the weak

200
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: side with Karl Anthony Towns. If Karl Anthony Towns's man

201
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: goes to set a screen, just send og with them

202
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: and ask a cat to stay home on that week side.

203
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: That's one way they can look to protect. Secondly, just

204
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: in situations where they do get switches with Jalen Brunson

205
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: and Karl Anthony Towns, you have to slide your feet

206
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: and contain the basketball because again, there's baked in advantages

207
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: that come from the screening actions like we talked about earlier,

208
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: but when you take those away by switching, it then

209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: becomes about individual advantage creation attacking matchups. Right. There are

210
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: other ways to attack switching we've gone into right, like

211
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: attacking the offensive glass on the weakside, slipping out of screens,

212
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: that sort of thing, but it more comes down to

213
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: individual greatness at that point. One of the things the

214
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Lakers did a lot last night with Minnesota was switch

215
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: a lot of Ruey lebron ad switching in that three

216
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: four five group. They were also happy to switch guys

217
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: like Austin Reeves or Dalton connect onto Julius Randall. They

218
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: were just willing to switch everything. And when they switch everything,

219
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: it takes away the automatic advantages that are baked into

220
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: the screening action, and then it becomes about can you

221
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: contain the basketball? And the Lakers just did a really

222
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: good job for the most part last night containing Julius Randall.

223
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: Not as much with Amp, but they still did a

224
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: decent job on him as well. One of the things too,

225
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: you'll see is like they'll switch and then it'll be

226
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: like Ad on Julius Randall, and then as he's going

227
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: to work, everyone else just stays home and takes away

228
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: those kickout reads. Ad slides his feet a little bit,

229
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: absorbs from contact in his chest, forces him to pick

230
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: up his dribble. Now all of a sudden, all the

231
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: other guys go into deny mode, and then as Julius

232
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: is looking to make a kickout pass, he ends up

233
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: turning the basketball over. Those are turnovers that are created

234
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: by switching, containing and playing the passing lanes. Really really

235
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: sharp stuff from the Lakers last night. A big part

236
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: of how they were forcing turnovers. AD thirty six points

237
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: despite going three for twelve on hooks, floaters, and layups.

238
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: That is an insane stat because those are the go

239
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: to scoring moves for ad. AD's offensive dominance in recent

240
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: years has come almost entirely down to hooks, floaters and layups,

241
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: and he couldn't make them last night. Still got thirty six,

242
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: got to the foul line a bunch, He was five

243
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: for eight on jump shots, hit a couple of massive threes.

244
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Just an unbelievably dominant performance from him. The other guy

245
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk about last night was

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: Dalton connect seamless fit for the Lakers on offense, And

247
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: it really just comes down to a combination of three factors. One,

248
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: he can come off of a screen and hit a

249
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: three that is going to force the screen defender in

250
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: many cases to show high to try to stop him

251
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: from taking that shot. The three that he hit on

252
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the top of the key was a play where Rudy

253
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: Gobert was sitting way too far back right. But he

254
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: also set up Jackson Hayes for a dunk on the

255
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: exact same action in a play where nas Reed was

256
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: on the floor and nas Reed showed high and when

257
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: he showed high, came off and turned like he was

258
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna shoot jumped, made the feed to Jackson Hayes. Jackson

259
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Hayes got a dunk. So the first piece is being

260
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: able to shoot on the move. The second piece is

261
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: being able to make the reads. You have to be

262
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: able to actually see the easy reads that are available

263
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: for a movement shooter coming off of a screen. He's

264
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: able to do that. The third piece of it is

265
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: bringing real downhill athleticism. There's a play in the third

266
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: quarter where he's driving on the left wing in a

267
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: ball screen with Anthony Davis, and because he brings real force,

268
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: he dragged both guys with him and Ad popped. And

269
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: remember the pick and pop is a great counter to

270
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: a drop coverage. Dalton just turned elevated, threw a two

271
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: handed pass to Ad on the left wing, and he

272
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: knocked down a three. So that combination of downhill force,

273
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the ability to hit shots on the move, and the

274
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: ability to make the reads on those screen defenders when

275
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: he's coming off of those actions just makes him a

276
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: seamless fit. He had a nice driving finish in transition

277
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: as well. Again, he got a little bit caught in

278
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: help a couple times on shooters where he gets up

279
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: some decent looks. One in the right corner that win

280
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: in a couple of others that missed, so he's got

281
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of obviously a lot of growth still

282
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: to make on the defensive end of the floor. But

283
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was his second quarter shift in particular,

284
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: just a really really nice first appearance for Dalton connect

285
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: in the NBA. One other shout out on the Lakers

286
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: front de Lo when the Wolves cut it to four

287
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter, he made two back to

288
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: back plays and pick and roll that immediately grew the

289
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: lead back up to eight and kind of get gave

290
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: the Lakers an opportunity to exhale and kind of saved

291
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: that shift with ad off the floor and it was

292
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: a ball screen where he got Dante DiVincenzo and jail

293
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: meaning he trapped him on his backside, slowly worked into

294
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: the lane and made a little lefty floater, and then

295
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: another one a high paced ball screen where he really

296
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: got going downhill Kimer who was but somebody fell over

297
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: for the Wolves and Dante de Vincenzo was chasing him,

298
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: had to like jump over the top. Dilo got a

299
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: good head of scheme coming off the ball screen that

300
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: really forced the big to engage him through a beautiful

301
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: lob to Jackson Hayes who got it done. Shout out

302
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: to D'Angelo Russell. Those were two really big plays that

303
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: changed the dynamic of that particular game. On the Wolves front,

304
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: the Julius Randall Nasriie front court was a disaster Defensively.

305
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: They tried zone two and it didn't work. That was

306
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: the primary driving force of the second quarter run for

307
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers. That front court for the Wolves was really

308
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: really bad defensively. They're gonna have to be much better.

309
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Julius Randall in general on tape, just a legitimately embarrassingly

310
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: bad performance, getting back cut all over the place. The

311
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: lebron dunk in front with Bronni in the right corner,

312
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: that was a backcut on Karl Anthony Towns really posterized

313
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: him on a baseline cut when he wasn't paying attention.

314
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: He was getting back cut for offensive rebounds. Just again,

315
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: it's one game, but like, if this continues, Wolves fans

316
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: should be pissed. This is kind of embarrassing effort for

317
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: a guy like you got some pressure on you here.

318
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: This is a team that made the Western Conference Finals.

319
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: This is a team that made a trade with the

320
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: intention of staying in contention, and you just got to

321
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: bring better effort. It was not a good look for

322
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: Julius Randall last night. The switching that I talked about,

323
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: it baited the Wolves into twenty one ISOs. That's a

324
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: very heavy ISO attack. But that's a big part of

325
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: their counter for dealing with switching. That's one of those

326
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: things where I'd like to see the Wolves add some

327
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: of those other ways to attack switching right, So like

328
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: different ways to attack switching, creating proper space for your

329
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: ISOs so that they're more efficient in those situations. Changing

330
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: your screening angles, so like, hey, they're gonna be switching

331
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: these ball screens, why don't we just have Ant on

332
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: the left wing and have Julius Randall come set the screen,

333
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: but instead of screening laterally so that Ant can come

334
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: off sideways, screen the backside so that when there's a switch,

335
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: he sealed onto that so that Julius Randall has that

336
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: inside seal and Ant can just float an easy pass

337
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: over the top. Now Julius Randall's going downhill, you have

338
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: a four on three. Now you don't have to play

339
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: isolation basketball. You can play advantage basketball at that point

340
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: One thing they did really well to attack switching was

341
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: attack the offensive glass, especially in the second half. Again,

342
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: one of the downsides to switching is a lot of

343
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: these possessions were ending with Anthony Davis on the perimeter

344
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: guarding somebody. When that happens, all of a sudden, when

345
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: the shot goes up, you're much smaller on the back line,

346
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: you can do some damage to them on the offensive glass. There.

347
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: The Wolves rebounded forty five percent of their own misses

348
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: in the second half, so really really exciting, like a

349
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: little positive trend in the mess that was last night

350
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: for the Timberwolves. Love one of the things I talked

351
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: a lot about in the offseason, a lot of helping

352
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: off of Jaden McDaniels and him just not being able

353
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: to hit shot. Same goes for Nikhil Alexander Walker. They

354
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: just are going to have to be able to hit

355
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: more of these jump shots, or more teams are going

356
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: to copy and sag in the paint and really try

357
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: to make things tougher on Aunt and Julius Randall. They

358
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: did shoot better than the Lakers last night. They got

359
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: zero point ninety six points per jump shot on fifty

360
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: two attempts. Compared to just zero point seven for the

361
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Lakers per jump shot on forty seven attempts. But that

362
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: to me is a positive Lakers thing more than anything

363
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: else like that. That means you could have easily lost

364
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: by twenty twenty five points if the Lakers at a

365
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: better shooting night. Just not a good first showing for

366
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: the Wolves. They got a lot of stuff they need

367
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: to get better at all. Right, let's take a look

368
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: at the film. So we're starting with the Celtics first

369
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: possession of the game. A little bit of a decoy

370
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: action here on the left side of the floor where

371
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: they fake like they're gonna set a little ball screen,

372
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: but Drew slips out of it. They quick run to

373
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Tatum and then Horford runs into the ball screen. One

374
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: of the things you'll see a lot in the highest

375
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: levels of basketball, little details like if you walk up

376
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: into a ball screen, it makes Cat's job easy. If

377
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: you run into the ball screen, you might catch him

378
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: being a little flat footed. Watch as Horford runs into

379
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: the ball screen, Cat is just too far back and

380
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Tatum just comes off and easily knocks off the knocks

381
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: down the jump shot. A lot of attacking Cat in

382
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: drop coverage a lot of attacking Jericho Sims in drop coverage.

383
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: I want you guys to really pay attention in this

384
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: portion of the film. Study Watch how you're going to see.

385
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Watch how you're gonna see the counter You're gonna see

386
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: the Knicks. A lot of deep drop against Tatum, and

387
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: then it's gonna flow into suddenly. Now we're coming way

388
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: up to the level of the screen, and now we're

389
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: in rotation the whole time. So good first possession there

390
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: to get Tatum a good look. Here's an example of

391
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: the exact same concept in an off ball screen. So

392
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: we got Kat guarding here on the right wing. Horford's

393
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: going to set a pin down for Jalen Brown. But

394
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: as Jalen Brown comes off, this functions just like a

395
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: drop coverage. So Jalen Brown's going to come over the screen.

396
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Kat is kind of coming up to the elbow to help.

397
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: As Jalen's curling, watch Horford pop easy swing pass for

398
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: the three. Now that is the baked in result of

399
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: the coverage, but also Cat's are just not doing a

400
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: good job. Kat is capable of closing that gap sooner,

401
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: just like he's capable of coming up higher on that

402
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum pull up three. Celtics were really really attacking

403
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Kat's laziness in the first part of this game. These

404
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: are some examples of corner crashes to generate easy shots

405
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: or extra possessions. Excuse me. This dynamic right here out

406
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: of the corner is one of the most common little

407
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: push and pull fights that you'll see in a basketball game.

408
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: These guys crashing out of the corner and these guys

409
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: trying to either box them out or high point the

410
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: basketball watches. Derek White just runs in, taps it out.

411
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: The resulting chaos ends in a wide open three for

412
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: Derek White in the left corner. Same exact thing here.

413
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Fast forward a little bit quick, little dribble handoff three

414
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: for Drew Holliday. But watch this dynamic right here, Jaylen

415
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: Brown og Anobi Jalen Brown just goes over the top,

416
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: forces a loose ball that goes off of Kat, forms

417
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: an extra possession for Boston. Another example of Cats laziness.

418
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: I talk a lot about this is like like big

419
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: Man in transition just having a habit of just wanting

420
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: to sag back in the paint and not just not

421
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: really working anymore. In modern basketball, we have a transition situation,

422
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: kind of a chaos situation. Look at cats dropping back,

423
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: never commits to anybody. He's still not guarding anybody, Still

424
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: not guarding anybody. Jalen Brunson's reaching instead of just sprinting

425
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: around to get in front. He should like he should,

426
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: but Kat's still just not guarding anybody. Kat still just

427
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: not guarding anybody. As a result, we have this quick

428
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: two on one at the top of the key. Josh

429
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: Hart closes out of Drew Holliday. Another wide open three

430
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: for Jalen Brown. So they were just making it way

431
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: too easy on Boston at the start of this game.

432
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: One of the things I was talking about in the

433
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: monologue the unwillingness to switch any screening action involving Brunson.

434
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Once again, this is with Brunson on the ball, so

435
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: watches McHale. McHale doesn't want to give up a switch

436
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want Tatum and Tatum to be guarded

437
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: by Brunson. So as Derek White comes off, we'll get

438
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: our heads right boom hedge. This is where Tatum is

439
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: wide open on the slip once again. Noticing the monologue

440
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: two I talked about screening angles, don't screen laterally to

441
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: try to get Derek White going side to side, screen

442
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: the backside so you have inside position. Watch how he

443
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: screens and ends up on his backside and slips out

444
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: of it easy back again. That's a baked in screening

445
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: opening that Boston is going to capitalize on every single time.

446
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: You can't afford to make those sorts of coverage mistakes

447
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: against Boston. Here's that lefty pass from Tatum to Cornette.

448
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Let's get in there. So here's that little opening that

449
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: opens up here. So if McHale bridges on Cornette's right

450
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: side and Jericho Sims on the left side, look at

451
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: us tight this window is. It's not really open. The

452
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: ball's already out. Watch when Tatum throws the ball. McHale

453
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: Bridges is kind of still in position, but like, look

454
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: at this pass, lefty rifle on a dot pump, fake

455
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: easy finish, beautiful pass from Jason Tatum. A couple more

456
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: examples of Tatum hitting threes against deep drop coverage with

457
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Jericho Sims. Let's fast forward a little bit so he

458
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: Tatum comes off this ball screen, look at how far

459
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: back Jericho Simms is. Notice two, This is an example

460
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: of stackpick and roll and how stackpick and roll will

461
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: really divide the focus of your ball screen defender. So

462
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: watch howser. Hawser is going to look to set a

463
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: backscreen on Jericho Sims as Tatum is coming off the screen.

464
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: This pulls Jericho Sims's attention to Houser instead of to Tatum.

465
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: Then Jericho Simms tries to counter this screen by getting

466
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: like almost underneath it, so he sprints back. That allows

467
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: Tatum to settle into a wide open pull up three

468
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: off the dribble, knocks it down. Same exact thing, same

469
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: exact action. Here comes the ball screen. The only difference

470
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: is this time they don't run stack, so they run

471
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: more of a ram screen. So essentially, instead of having

472
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Houser come up in backscreen for Cornett, they just have

473
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: Derek White's screen. Jericho Simms before Cornett goes into the

474
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: action generates a little bit of separation, but once again,

475
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: in a deep drop, Tatum just settles right into the

476
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: pull up three off the dribble and knocks it down.

477
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: So again, pay attention to that as we get into

478
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: the examples later on. In the video of them putting

479
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: two on the ball. At this point in the game,

480
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum has already hit three pull up threes against

481
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: drop coverage and pick and roll, an example defensively of

482
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: the thing that we're going to see from the Celtics,

483
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: just like they did so much in the postseason last year,

484
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: putting centers on the worst above the break shooter and

485
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: putting Tatum on the actual center. Cornett's guarding Josh Hart.

486
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: This puts them in a situation where Cornett can help.

487
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: So we're going to see a quick attack with Jalen

488
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Brunson and Derek White, but watch Cornette. Cornette's not worried

489
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: about Josh Hart. We have a hard double team here.

490
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: As Brunston's trying to get separation from White, there's Josh Hart.

491
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: They'll throw a close out. Just be like, fine, take

492
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: that shot. See how soft of a closeout that is

493
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: from Cornett. That's a classic defensive game plan thing that

494
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: we've seen from Boston for a couple of years now.

495
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: How'ser hits at three here? But one of the things

496
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: I was talking about again, like the refusal to switch.

497
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: This is an easy action to guard if you talk. Okay,

498
00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: so campaigns guarding Hauser. Duce McBride's on Pritchard, Cats guarding Cornett.

499
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: Cornett you literally don't have to worry about because he's

500
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: not going to shoot a three. Why is this not

501
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: just a switch? Why isn't duce McBride just switching out

502
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: to Howser and campaign staying on Pritchard, But instead they

503
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: try to chase Cornette, gets a good screen on him,

504
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: duce McBride is late to see it and Cornett and

505
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: Howser gets an open look like that. That is it coverage.

506
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: You simply cannot run against Boston. It was not a

507
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: good defensive game plan for Tom Thibodeau against the Celtics

508
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: last night. So now we're gonna get another high ball screen.

509
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: But notice the difference in the coverage. Boom aggressive up

510
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: at the level. Here's a switch, So this is what

511
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: you should do. But instead instead of just asking Kat

512
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: to slide his feet, they just hard double team with

513
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: duce McBride and that ends up giving Pritchard a wide

514
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: open three in the left corner. So just way too

515
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: often putting two on the ball and two on the

516
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: ball against Boston, you just can't do it. So instead

517
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: of a two on one, this is more of a

518
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: three on two. Watch we get a ball screen and

519
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: watch how they guard it. Swing double the swing into

520
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: a ball screen with Drew Holliday coming off of Horford.

521
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Watch Ogn and Ob dig down into the lane. Og

522
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: digs down Boom. Now we're guarding three on two. We're

523
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: guarding three on two against this particular team that is

524
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: about as good as you can possibly be a capitalizing

525
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: on those situations. Swing to Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown drives

526
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: on Anonobe. When he drives on Ananobe because like, look,

527
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: look where Anob has to close out from Andnobi's closing

528
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: out from here, that's easy basketball for Jalen Brown beats

529
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: him off the dribble. This forces Juce McBride to help.

530
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday relocates the three point line. Another wide open

531
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: catching two three knocks it down. Here's another example of

532
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: just a basic screen that doesn't get switched that generates

533
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: an advantage and ends in another wide open three. We're

534
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: gonna get a high post entry to Jalen Brown at

535
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: the right elbow, a backscreen of Al Horford Onduce McBride

536
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: because they're not switching it. This allows a good screen

537
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: from Horford to get Drew Holliday very deep post position. Boom.

538
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Now we have a very deep post position. Drew Holliday

539
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: is going to score here if you leave him one

540
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: on one. As a result, Kat has no choice but

541
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: the double team. He does another wide open three for Horford.

542
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, here Horford misses. But watch how we have

543
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: our rotation situation. Horford's wide open. This forces Campaign and

544
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: og Ananobi to panic close out. Both guys panic close out.

545
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: Now what happens because Campaign left Sam Hauser. Now Hauser

546
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: has a wide open corner. Crash gets the offensive, rebound,

547
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: saves it, shovels it to Jalen Brown, and Jalen Brown

548
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: knocks down the three. This was just a ridiculous shot

549
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: from Jason Tatum, Just a really high level piece of

550
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: shot making off of a between the legs dribble into

551
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: his step back run some action. Nobody's open ends in

552
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: iso good downhill pressure, step back knocks it down. Beautiful

553
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: shot from Jason Tatum. Another two on the ball situation

554
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: for Tatum and a ball screen, so we get Tatum

555
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: a pie Cornette sets. But again, as Jericho Sims was

556
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: getting torched by that pull up three earlier, he's gonna

557
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: come way out to the level boom. Now we have

558
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: two on the ball again. Cornette slips, Jalen Brunson rotates

559
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: down to Derek White. This leaves Pritchard open. Nice Reid

560
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: from Cornette to Prichard. Jalen Brunson long close out. Derek

561
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: White sees too much congestion in the paint, relocates to

562
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: the corner again. Another smart spacing principle on display for

563
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: the Celtics as they get a wide open three out

564
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: of it. Here's another just completely ridiculous left handed skip

565
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: pass from Jason Tatum starts with a little quick post

566
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: up from Jay the Brown. We swing it back out.

567
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna flow into the ball screen with Tatum now,

568
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: simple action handoff screen, still in a drop, but there's

569
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: enough congestion here to kind of make the the pull

570
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: up three tough. Look at what Tatum sees, though Deuce

571
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: McBride is kind of helping. He's like three steps off

572
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: of Derek White. This is only going to end in

573
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: the three if you can rifle a pass on a

574
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: line into the shooting pocket for Derek White. Look at

575
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: how accurate this passes off of a dribble left handed,

576
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: whips it across the court. Right into the shooting pocket,

577
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: catch and shoot three for Derek White. Just an insane

578
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: piece of playmaking from Jason Tatum. Do you guys remember

579
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: last night when I talked about limbo, a concept that

580
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick has been talking about with the Lakers a lot.

581
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: I talked about the idea that limbo also applies to

582
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: help defense as well. Here's a great example of that.

583
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: So Jason Tatum's gonna look to ISO. I believe he

584
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: ends up isoing Josh Hart on a switch. So screen switch,

585
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: here's our ISO again. Limbo to me is when you're

586
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: not accomplishing either of the tasks that you're set out

587
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: to do. So a lot of cases here, Kat's responsibilities

588
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: are basically like help on the drive and then close

589
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: out to Horford at the three point line. The one

590
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: thing you can't afford to do is to leave him

591
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: open and fail to help. So Tatum makes a move.

592
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Kat doesn't actually get in there and help Jason Tatum,

593
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: but at the same time, al Horford's wide open. This

594
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: is limbo, This is accomplishing nothing. Tatum goes right through

595
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: him for a layup, like if if you're gonna help

596
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: help stop the ball, if you're not stay glued to

597
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: the shooter, but like getting caught in limbo, that's the

598
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: worst thing you can do and help defense. Here's that

599
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: example that I was talking A second example like of

600
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: what I was talking about earlier about using Brunson on

601
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: the ball handler, just because you know that when Brunson's

602
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: on the ball, the Knicks are going to want to hedge.

603
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: So Tatum comes in screens same thing we saw earlier,

604
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: hedge from Michale Bridges baked in screen opening for Tatum.

605
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: He actually misses this shot, but it's a wide open

606
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: catch and shoot three. One more. I wanted to show

607
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: you guys an example of a beautiful spacing principles from

608
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: the Celtics in the second half of this game. Another

609
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: blitz of Tatum up at the level of the screen.

610
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: So we swing, here's our ball screen, Bridges on the ball,

611
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: cat comes way up to the level. We got two

612
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: in the ball now, boom, okay, that makes Tatum's first

613
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: read Horford on the pop Ananobe rotates. What I want

614
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: you to see here is instead of just standing Derek

615
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: White here and in standing Jalen Brown there, in which

616
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: case Josh Hart might be able to do something like

617
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: let's say Let's say that oj and anobe Hard helps

618
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: here and Tatum has to throw a skip pass. If

619
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: Tatum throws a skip pass, josh Hart probably can close

620
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: out to the passing lane. I've talked about this concept

621
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: on the show in the past. You close out to

622
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: the passing lane to prey on indecisiveness. So Tatum throws

623
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: a skip past to Derek White. If you close out

624
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: to the passing lane, maybe you get him to not

625
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: want to take the three because he sees the clothes

626
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: out coming. But then when he looks over to Jalen Brown,

627
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: Josh Hart could be right in the passing lane to

628
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: take that opportunity weigh, which might buy enough time for

629
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: og And and Nobody to recover and josh Hart to recover.

630
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: But instead, Derek White flashes to the high post. This

631
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: forces josh Hart to fully commit to him. Watch how

632
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: he flashes boom. Now josh Hart has to commit, and

633
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: now Jalen Brown is completely wide open. Easy three. And

634
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: because you don't have anybody in the dunker spot, the

635
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: next rotation is brunts and he has to come all

636
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: the way across the floor. So a little detail there

637
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: just like him flashing high posts instead of staying on

638
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: the weak side wing generates a better looking shot for

639
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: Jaln Brown. So we're gonna be moving on to the

640
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: Lakers Wolves game here in a second. But again, I

641
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: just when we talk about the Celtics, it's not just

642
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: taking threes for the sake of taking threes. They generate

643
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: high quality threes through quality offense, and running any sort

644
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: of traditional coverage against them is suicide because their system

645
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: is set up to capitalize on that by generating elite

646
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: shooters wide open threes. And so you have to be

647
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: willing to switch to shut off screening actions and you

648
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: have to do a better job of containing the basketball.

649
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Beautiful work from Boston last night. All, let's move on

650
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: to the Laker game. This is a ridiculous move from

651
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: Ruy Hotcha Mura in a wing attack situation against Anthony Edwards.

652
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: So Lebron comes to set the screen, Julius Randall ends

653
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: up tagging the roller, so Anthony Edwards switches back out

654
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: onto Ruey. Now we get a straight up one on

655
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: one here. Anthony Edwards is one of the hardest guys

656
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: in the league to beat off the dribble without a screen.

657
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: Now he can struggle with screen navigation, he can struggle

658
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: off ball with backcuts and things like that, but usually

659
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: a head up one on one situation, he's so louterally

660
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: quick and he's so strong he can't do anything with him.

661
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: Ruy just rips right through and bodies him and dunks

662
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: all over Rudy Gobert. It was like just like an

663
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 1: absolutely insane highlight for Ruyacha Mura mixed into that game.

664
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: Some really nice defensive activity from Ruy. Hatcha Mura here.

665
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: So we get Julius Randall being guarded by Austin Reeves

666
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: in a transition cross match, Ruey's gonna double team. When

667
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: he double teams, Julius steps through, which forces Anthony Davis

668
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: to step up. He throws a drop off pass to

669
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: go beart. Anthony Davis gets out of position. Look at

670
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: the recovery from Ruey to get back into the play

671
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: and block the shot at the rim. Really nice defensive

672
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: work from Rudy to be in two places at once.

673
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Here's an example of what I was talking about earlier

674
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: about switching to stagnate the offense. So Rui's on Julius

675
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: Randall quick run through. Now ad switches okay. Now that

676
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: Ad switches, there's no advantage in the screen situation. Julius

677
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: Randall has to tack off the dribble. He attacks off

678
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: the dribble, Ad shuts it down. Notice these guys aren't overhelping,

679
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: they're staying the passing lanes. So when Julius Randall goes,

680
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: oh shit, I need to get rid of the basketball now.

681
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: Notice Austin recovers to Conley to deny the passing lane.

682
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: Dilo recovers to Jaden to deny the passing lane. Julius

683
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: tries to force it and Delo gets an easy steal

684
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: switch stagnate contain deny the kickout passes. Here's an inverted

685
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: ball screen for Anthony Davis that gets him a really

686
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: good look around the foul line. So we're in a

687
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: horn set. We get a high post entry to AD.

688
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: Max Christy cuts through and Austin flashes to the elbow

689
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: and then he turns and sets the inverted ball screen

690
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: for AD. Conley throws a hedge. When he throws the

691
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: hedge that as he's recovering, he ends up getting in

692
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: go Bear's way, and that action ends up generating separation

693
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: for Ad to knock down an easy little fifteen footer.

694
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Talks a lot about corner crashes. JJ Redi's been talking

695
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: about him all preseason. Shot goes up. Here's that battle

696
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: that we talk about. Max Christy beats a Anthony Edwards

697
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: ends up generating an extra possession. D Lo hits the three.

698
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: That's three extra points you get just by a little detailed,

699
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: little margin that you're generating crashing out of the corner.

700
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: Talked about this in the monologue. But one of the

701
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: downsides to switching AD's on Gobart. That should help you

702
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: on the defensive glass right, But now we're gonna do

703
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: some switching here. Austin switches out onto DDV. Ad ends

704
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: up switching out. Ruey ends up taking Gobert. Ad switches

705
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: onto Jaden McDaniels. So when Jaden ends up taking this shot,

706
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: now we've got a massive size mismatch underneath the basket.

707
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: Go Bear ends up getting an offensive rebound. Great way

708
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: to attack teams that switch. Another corner crash this time

709
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Ruey Hatchamurrow watch him come flying in, gets the offensive rebound,

710
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: ends up getting two extra points. Nice little example of

711
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: waves of cutting here. So we're gonna get a couple

712
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: of cuts in a row, one from Dalton connect and

713
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: then one from D'Angelo Russell and rapid secession, and you're

714
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: gonna see how it generates an opening. So Dalton pump

715
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: fakes throws the ball to Rui. Now in this situation,

716
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: Dalton sees an opening for a cut. When Dalton cuts,

717
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: Mike Conley goes with him. Look at Dante DiVincenzo too.

718
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: Let's watch Dalton first. So as Dalton cuts through boom cut,

719
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: Mike Conley ends up going with him, And because Conley's

720
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: going with him, he can't see what's happening behind him.

721
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: Now watch Dilo. As soon as he sees Dante DiVincenzo

722
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: not paying attention, not looking at him. Oh shit, my

723
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: man's not paying attention, I might as well just cut

724
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: still not paying attention. Cut, okay, but normally you might

725
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: see some help side there. But Dalton cutting through ends

726
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: up essentially clearing the lane for de Lo to easily

727
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: get the layup on the cut. Wolves a little two

728
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: three zone with that defensive front court of Naz Red

729
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: and Julius Randall that they were struggling so much with.

730
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: Here's a quick, easy basket. They get out of it

731
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: with a really nice high post feed to D'Angelo Russell.

732
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: So we're in a two three. Delo kind of sneaks

733
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: into the middle. Now, the reason why you want to

734
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: get the ball to the middle is in a normal

735
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: two three zone, you have three defenders on the back line.

736
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: That's a pretty easy setup, right because one guy can

737
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: guard any corner shooter, one guy can guard the basket,

738
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: one guy can guard the other corner shooter, and if

739
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: the ball ends up on the strong side, you can

740
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: kind of slide over or slide back the other way

741
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: as the ball switch aside. If you get the ball

742
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: to the high post, then the center has to step up.

743
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: As soon as the center has to step up, now

744
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: you only have two guys on the back line. If

745
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: there's only two guys on the back line, someone's going

746
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: to be open. On a cut. Delo sneaks in there,

747
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: catches nos Reed steps up. Both Nikhil Alexander Walker and

748
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Julius Randall are now on a three on two. As

749
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: soon as Osried steps up there in a three on two,

750
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: if Nikil Alexander Walker steps down to Jackson, Ruey's getting

751
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: a wide open three. If Julius Randall rotates over to Jackson.

752
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: Now Dalton connects getting a wide open three instead, none

753
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: of them do. Jackson Hayes gets a dunk. Nice little

754
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: attack of the zone there. This is an action I

755
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: Joe Vat does a really nice job covering the Golden

756
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: State Warriors called this out last night. He was digging

757
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: in through some of the tape of JJ Redick and

758
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: Lebron James when they were doing that Mind the Game podcast,

759
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: and JJ talked about a simple action involving a backscreen

760
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: for someone who's a lob threat and that person being

761
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: the shooter, the screener being the shooter backscreen for a

762
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 1: lob threat, and then after setting that backscreen, that guy

763
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: then coming off of another screen at the top of

764
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: the key looking to shoot. They referred to it as

765
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: Finland and the Lakers ran a bunch of this kind

766
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: of action last night and got a lot of really

767
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: good stuff out of it. I want to show you

768
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: two different examples. The first one is an example where

769
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: the screen defender shows and then this The second one

770
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: is an example where the screen defender does not show

771
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: so in the first one. Both times it looks a

772
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: little different too, because this time they run it with

773
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes having the ball as a dribble handoff guy.

774
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: The second time, they run the exact same concept, but

775
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: they have another player up here that's actually making the pass,

776
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: actually making the entry pass. So watches Dalton connect backscreens

777
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: for Lebron. He backscreens for Lebron. This causes these guys

778
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: to sink in and help. Then Dalton connect comes off,

779
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: comes off the screen. Notice nos Reed shows high. When

780
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: nos Reed shows high, that allows Jackson Hayes to slip

781
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: the screen and get an easy dunk. Here's the exact

782
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: same concept in a different version. One other thing too.

783
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: On the defensive end. Here, once again the Lakers and

784
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: everyone else know you can offer a late contest on

785
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: Jaden McDaniels. That means Lebron can help in the paint,

786
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: force the pass, run out, and get a good contest.

787
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: He's not gonna make them pay enough for it to matter.

788
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: But as we go at the other end, we're gonna

789
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: run Finland again, this time with d Lo as the

790
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: trigger man up up the top of the key. You

791
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: can see them setting the play up. Delo dribbles over. Okay. Now,

792
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: same backscreen for Lebron. Okay, backscreen this time, though, Notice

793
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: Gobert sits way back, so when Dalton comes off, now

794
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: there's nobody at the level because Gobert is so far back,

795
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: so Dalton can just rise up and fire knocks down

796
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: the three. Those are the types of decisions you make.

797
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: Defenses make when you run good action. At the beginning

798
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: of Possessions, here's a really nice transition attack from Dalton,

799
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: Connect defensive play from ad. Look at the size and

800
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: athleticism from Dalton as he gets downhill on Anthony Edwards

801
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: and finishes easily in the pain. Really nice second quartership

802
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: from Connect. There's a really nice slip of a screen

803
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: from Rudy Gobert. This is a basic screening concept. When

804
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: you know that your man is going to be showing high,

805
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: then your screen doesn't matter anymore because the entire purpose

806
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: of your screen is to get the ball handler downhill

807
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: or separation. And if he's not gonna get downhill or

808
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: get separation, because the screen defender is going to show,

809
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: it's more important for you to slip watches. Go Beart,

810
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: who's one of the best screeners in the league, doesn't

811
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: even try to screen. Austin just slips out because he

812
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: knows Ad is coming high. Because he knows Ad is

813
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: coming high, Rardy Gobert slips out of it rolls hard

814
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 1: now as Aunt starts to turn the corner. Because Gobert

815
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: rolls hard, this forces Ruey to stay groundbound as he

816
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: prepares for the lob. He doesn't jump until the last second.

817
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: At that point, An it's got too much of ahead

818
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: of steam. It's an easy and one little screening detail

819
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: from Gobert. Beautiful set to start the third quarter from

820
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick. We're gonna get Austin off of a pair

821
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: of screens here at the elbow to catch on this side,

822
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: and it's gonna flow into ad screening for Lebron, who's

823
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: then going to flow into a screen for Austin, who's

824
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: then going to slip the screen. All of this action

825
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: is designed to occupy Rudy Gobert's attention, which ends up

826
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: getting Anthony Davis a lob on the switch. Let's watch

827
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: it one more time in slow motion again. Watch how

828
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: all of this action just forces the Wolves to make

829
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of decisions and rapids secession. Lebron comes off,

830
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: here's a screen. Jaden ends up hedging just for a

831
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: second because the hedges just for a second. That allows

832
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: Lebron to get open on the roll. Now Jaden's out

833
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: of position. Because Jaden's out of position, Rudy has to

834
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: step up. Because Rudy has to step up, AD's wide

835
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: open on the lob. I've talked a lot about how

836
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert gets unfairly maligned for the defensive end to

837
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: the floor and how most of the issues for him

838
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: come down to the offensive end. Here's an example of

839
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,959
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Here is a lob that maybe

840
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: not This isn't the most perfect lob in the world. Yeah,

841
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: as a guy like Luca Gonna maybe put this in

842
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: a spot where it's easier for Rudy to dunk. Sure,

843
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: but this still should have been a dunk. Look at

844
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: where this pass goes. That should be caught, That should

845
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: be caught and dunked. Why why is that not a

846
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: catch and a dunk like that is that should be?

847
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: That should be a dunk And it's not because Rudy

848
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: can't catch and finish anything around the basket as well

849
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: if it, as well as his peers around the league.

850
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: That is the main issue with Gobert has nothing to

851
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: do with defense. He just is such a limited offensive player.

852
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: Talked a lot about Ruey in him after the game,

853
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: talking about attacking Julius Randall for standing and not paying attention.

854
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: Here's a basic example of that here. Julius Randall's not

855
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: paying attention gets back cut by the time he notices it.

856
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: Ruy dunk's all over his head. Really rough off ball

857
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: defensive performance from Julius Randall. I've talked about how Ruey

858
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: one of the big things standing in his way to

859
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: becoming a more reliable playoff player is his ability to

860
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: track shooters. Here's a good example of that here. So

861
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: there's a switch he ends up on Dante DiVincenzo gets

862
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: sucked into help, but he's not tracking man in ball

863
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: d DV does a nice little relocation to the left wing.

864
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: By the time Ruey notices it's too late, hits a three.

865
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: Has to do a better job at tracking shooters. Here's

866
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: an example of what I was talking about in the

867
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: show last night about the Wolves changing the pace of

868
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: the game with ball pressure. Notice this full court ball

869
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: pressure picks him up, picks him up. Dante Divincenzo's denying.

870
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: They switch. Now we're denying over here. This forces the

871
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: Lakers two guards to waste a bunch of time. So

872
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: now we have thirteen on the shot clock and the

873
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: worst ball handler on the floor for the Lakers has

874
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: the ball in Max Christy. This possession is basically dead

875
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: on arrival. But this is also what I was talking

876
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: about last night where Ad had so many opportunities in

877
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter, where it was like he was missing shots.

878
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: He was back to back wide open layups on go Berr.

879
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: He's missing little short, little floaters. He just was struggling

880
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: right well. They needed him to keep shooting, and so

881
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: this was kind of where it felt like the lid

882
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: came off for Ad. Seven seconds on the shot clock,

883
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: no choice but to create a shot. Does a nice

884
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: job getting downhill, nice little dribbled into a step back

885
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: over go Bar knocks it down. Another little action we

886
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: saw from the Lakers last night several times, and you

887
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: get you guys are gonna see the the two different coverages. Okay,

888
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: so first, Ady's gonna set a backscreen for Gabe and

889
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: go Beart is not going to help. Because Gobert doesn't help,

890
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: Gabe gets wide open. This is Dalton connect in the

891
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: left corner. Even Donte de Vincenzo doesn't want to help

892
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: because Dalton Connects one of the best shooters on the team.

893
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: Gabe gets a wide open layup. Next possession, exact same thing.

894
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: Look at the difference in the way that that it's covered. Okay, backscreen.

895
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: This time Gobert sits much further back and nas Reid

896
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: sinks into the paint. As a result, when nas Reid

897
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: sinks in, Gabe Vincent makes this kickout pass or sees

898
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 1: he sees the kickout pass to Ruy Hachimura, Go Bear

899
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: sees it happen. Go Bear rotates to Ruy that gets

900
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: Ad wide open. Ady gets downhill and gets the and

901
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: one on it. So again, you saw the two different

902
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: ways to cover it. The first way the first time

903
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: Gobert doesn't help. The second time Gobert does help, helps

904
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: on the corner pass and Ad ends up getting an

905
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: end one. Last one. This was that read I was

906
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: talking about with Dalton connect and Anthony Davis, who made

907
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: five jump shots in the game. Dalton brings nice downhill

908
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 1: pressure draws both guys in the ball screen. Ad gets

909
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: a wide up and three at the top of the

910
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: key or at the left wing and knocks it down.

911
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: All right, guys, that is all I have for today,

912
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: A good little film session. We're gonna do a bunch

913
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: more of those, much smaller throughout the season. That was

914
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: more of like, we don't have any other games to cover,

915
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: so let's hit a bunch of film. But the way

916
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that during the season is I'm gonna

917
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: break down the games off the top, and then as

918
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching my film, I'm gonna drop, you know, somewhere

919
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: between five ten fifteen clips into a folder, and then

920
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: basically at the tail end of the show, we're gonna

921
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: do brief film sessions so that you guys can see

922
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,879
