Jalen Brunson, thank you for doing the right thing Instead of just taking Hart's ball-screen he calls for Hart to set a ram screen, switching Queta on KAT, KAT sets another to take Queta back in Boston switches over, Tatum rotates, perfect timing pass. Best play of the night

My hardware as a NY sports fan the last 10 years: the Emirates NBA Cup Shooting Stars champions

One of the real problems the Knicks have ran into with Philly is where to stick Brunson, VJ is so strong and athletic, it's a tough cover. With Barlow out there, he might be the guy to put Brunson on? Not 100% about that, because of the height differnce and oREBs

I hate this shit so much Then the moment Huk gets physical it's an immediate head jerk

Dawg what😂

I mean this is like Lebron James, Luka Doncic shit, palming the ball away from the big that's playing high coverage on the screen. Understanding the coverage enough to know that when teams play high, they tag the roller. Throwing a dart to the weak-side shooter

Brunson had a phenomenal game, but there's good and bad takeaways. Why does KAT set a ball-screen if he's not going to leverage his gravity? I mean look at the break. They don't even look at each other. Denver isn't ready to rotate out. Am I the only one frustrated by that?

One of the newer concepts teams have developed recently Taking away help defenders by cutting/some call it a "wheel". Nothing is flawless though, you can see how it can contribute to TOs

Drop coverage doesn't mean drop into the restricted area and contest absolutely nothing

top 3 bag in the NBA btw

Just abhorrent defense, Yabusele gets caught ball watching, Bridges tries to makes up for his mistake The Hornets didn't do anything special on this play, hate to say it, but it's just lazy. The worse type of defense you can get. Brown calls a timeout right after this

How is the Knicks offense so different and new? They can layer their plays. There was a reason for heavy motion offense to start Empty 45 breaks down -&gt; straight into their pinch post offense I detailed this on my substack when watching the Kings, they can layer multiple plays

Amazing job by ESPN cutting the broadcast to listen to an arena that hasn't seen this level of success in over 20 years

Film of practically every time the San Antonio Spurs showed bodies to SGA - Strong-side digs/gap help - Wemby cross match on Caruso, to stay in help (ghost) and switch Chet and JWill ball-screens - Box and 1 zones - Baseline Help - Random High help

Last time the Knicks played the healthy Sixers they smashed the button on weaking and ice coverage vs their handlers. The best way to beat speed is to know where it's going Round 2 Playoff Prep is out: Matchups, coverages, and regular season data:

Celtics eliminated

I can't believe I never seen this before

The Knicks have included more movement in their offense and that includes the 'wheel' concept. Which is depicted below⬇️ Once they get used to the reads, the timing, where to be, it can lend good results

"The starting lineup did good tonight" Yeah, when Ayton defends KAT for much of the game, Hart makes his three, teams go over on his screens, Ayton is switched onto Brunson, life is very easy, I agree😂 Congrats to the Lakers they made things 10x harder for themselves

How OG Anunoby not even touching the basketball contributed to one of the biggest plays in the game A brilliant ATO from Tom Thibodeau in the clutch⬇️

KAT in PnR vs Cade in Game 1: 0.66 PPP | 4 TOs🔥 In high coverage (leveling, blitzing/trap, hedging): 0.46 PPP | 4 TOs🔥😮‍💨 Weak = force ball handler to off hand or it can mean to force them to one side. OG was instrumental at that last night PPP (points per possession)

Karl-Anthony Towns above the break spot up and isolation driving these playoffs

Ran the set 11 times Friday, 1.14 PPP, 1.21 ePPP Spammed in the 3rd quarter running it seven times in a row, scoring 16 points to end it. Usually they would empty the corner and send a ghost screen, added the flat a couple games ago. Breakdown⬇️

Knicks went 1.11 PPP in organized offense in the 3Q, ran a rate of 53% I went over all 3Q sets, some of the bad and the good in them
