I will not let this ATO get lost amidst the Steph/Draymond/Horford craziness. With the Clippers content on "hiding" Garland on Gui Santos, Steve Kerr draws this play up for Gui. Split action variant where Gui is supposed to set the rip screen for Podz. But the Gui lift to supposedly set the screen is a disguised way to get Garland in the paint on a seal. Garland had five fouls at this point and is giving up 6 inches in height. Incredible belief by Kerr in Gui which he repays (in more ways this game than just this sequence).

This was a low-key pretty crucial possession in this game. When Steph has to switch onto Jokic on the ballscreen, peep at JK. He comes up, points to the corner -- signaling to Steph to switch off of Jokic and toward Braun in the corner -- in order to turn a nightmare matchup into a more palatable one. Result: JK gets the stop on Jokic.

Reggie does not know how to count steps lmao (gather step is when Giannis puts both hands on the ball, then it's an additional 2 steps allowed).

When people say Draymond blows up schemes, watch this possession to understand. Reaves wants to put Post in action. Draymond tells Post to pre-switch with him so that Draymond is the one switching onto Reaves. Reaves then tries to put JK in the action. Draymond switches with JK. Result: Draymond contesting the final shot of the quarter.

This is why Steph Curry as a screener is such a cheat code. I mean look at two defenders completely ignore Jimmy (with the ball!) and stick to Steph lmaoooo

Since Steve Kerr is Team USA coach, there's obviously some Warriors sets transferred over to the national team. One of which occurred during their scrimmage vs. the select team -- and triggered by someone yelling out "What the f***", a staple sideline out-of-bounds (SLOB) set.

Last night, Luka tried to hunt Steph several times by acting as a screener to force the switch. It's just not a sustainable form of offense. Steph and Draymond are seasoned anti-switch-hunting operators. It may work once, but it most likely won't work again. It only takes the possession after Luka scores on the Steph switch for Steph and Draymond to shut it down the following possession through scram switching and Steph hedging out. A subtle masterclass in on-the-fly adjustments.

Luka Dončić is truly special. The Wolves tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING: 1. Drop 2. Up to the level of the screen 3. Switching 4. Hedge and recover 5. Blitzing And it didn't matter. Luka had an answer for every one of them.

Draymond Green and Nikola Jokić have two of the highest basketball IQs in the NBA. The chess match between them can be easy to miss -- an example of which came on a sideline out-of-bounds set where they tried to one up each other:

The Warriors performed subtle manipulation of Victor Wembanyama last night using their "Quick Touch" set, depending on who their five-man was. With Draymond Green, they used Wemby's low concern level with Draymond (and Jimmy Butler) out on the perimeter against him. With Al Horford, they used Butler's playmaking in the roll to stretch Wemby thin and force him to make a decision.

SVG is the first commentator I've heard correctly identify the Warriors' "eleven" zone (peep Kerr calling it) as a 2-3 zone. Most commentators have thought it to be a 1-3-1 but it's a 2-3 tandem (tbf, it can look like a 1-3-1 at times).

Broke down the Luka dagger and the Mavs did some really subtle things that made it hard for the Wolves to: 1. Prevent the switch onto Rudy 2. Send a double to help Rudy Hard to detect in real time and it looks like the Wolves made a mistake in coverage (probably still did), but the Mavs deserve HUGE credit for what they did to get Luka this matchup and shot.

My favorite sequence from tonight's Valkyries win over the Mercury: a high-low pass to punish a switch. Simple, age-old concept but still as effective as ever.
