NYK scored 1.727 points per possession with these two on the court in G4. Alvarado just kept screening and moving when Wemby was "guarding" him in the 4Q.

Fun fact: Tyrese Haliburton prefers to pull-up going to his right even though he is a right-handed shooter. Hand-tracked his pull-up jumper (not step-backs, spins, or runners - straight jumpers) inside the arc Left: 5-7 Right: 22-44 Never forced him away from his dominant hand

Wemby had 52 touches in G2 that never touched the paint - his most in a playoff game this season. OG scrams Brunson out of the transition cross-match. Wemby launces a three. Spurs don't hard crash, even though Wemby is ATB to get back as a backstop.

on a personal level, think it says a lot about zach lowe that, in addition to inspiring a slew of writers, he was willing to use his platform like this. very grateful and look forward to wherever he lands next that invests in basketball being central to basketball coverage

With a one-point lead and 20 seconds left to play in OT, the Pacers went to a SLOB play that ended up spacing both of their stars out to the logo to create an empty-side 3v3 opportunity. What a cool team.

"My game is a little unorthodox, I jump to pass probably more than anybody in the NBA." From 2022, my original article hand-tracking the results of all of his jump passes after he was traded to the Pacers to explain how he dissects defenses from the air link below

Noticed that more teams have started shifting inbound responsibilities to perimeter players with the big filling to the opposite wing instead of rim running. Oftentimes forces a guard to protect the rim while putting the defensive big into unnatural weak-side rotations.

This was beautiful. Too bad the better effort ends in another loss.

Just want to say a quick thanks to everyone who has watched & engaged with the “Caitlin x Samson playoff pods.” Helps that the Pacers keep pulling off miracles, but the audience size for an Xs and Os + banter show in a small market has exceeded my expectations. Means a lot.

Hey guys, I talked to Rick Carlisle about the Pacers playing random - drawing influence from jazz - implementing this style in 2025 vs 2011 - why the NBA is running less PnR - do all teams play the same? - Siakam, always adapting this is meaningful

Castle led the Spurs in half-court matchups defending KAT in G3 (16). KAT only attempted 1 shot. Some of that was doubling w/ a roaming C. Some of that was late-switching against the PnP. Some of that was shot-selection from other Knicks. Something for both teams to think about

Hey guys, myself & Samson Folk (the coach) talked about the Pacers putting a twist on playing inside-out - Tyrese inside? (mid-range, driving angles, bully ball) - Zu outside? (spacing to the corner, skip concepts) - What to expect from Tyrese 2.0 - More! 😂

Crowning this the NBA's trendiest action sequence this season: down-flip-flare. Call from the Pacers is "touch." Exemplifies the PASS > DRIBBLE revival. Also shows why, even when MIN, IND, CHA, TOR, UTA, & countless other teams run the same play, they don't all play the same.

"There's probably some advanced stat that Caitlin will write about.." 9.589 feet The average closest defender distance on threes against the Pacers last night, the highest of any team in any game this season. I wrote about it. Link below.

Esfandiar Baraheni This is the most dribbles he has ever taken (24!) on a zero-pass possession before taking a shot in the playoffs. The Raptors have been disorienting on defense, but he has also been baffling with his process on offense.

Watch some of these tactics and oftentimes think "that wouldn't/didn't work against Tyrese" and then I get sad again.

Andrew Nembhard has mastered the art of stealing the opening tip to such an extent that teams started game-planning for his gamesmanship in the playoffs. Allow me to explain. Link in 🧵

With the NBA posting the highest TOV% of any playoffs in the tracking era, I went searching for how the teams are finding small, sustainable tweaks to crank up steal creation That led me to the Raptors - on their unique approach to defense w/ Samson Folk (the coach)
