Goga Bitadze might be the best in the entire NBA right now at setting "Gortat" screens

When you have tired legs, the shooting is one of the biggest areas where you’re gonna see it. Think they need to consider letting him rest cause trying to have him play all 82 is probably unwise.

These are the games you *should* win, and that you kinda have to win. A week ago, I don't think the Wolves win this game. Some conversations had to have been had

Not gonna draw a ton of conclusions from one good Wolves game, but this is certainly a momentum builder even if it's against the Lakers on a b2b

Defense looked fantastic and the offense was very fluid for extended stretches. Who knows, but could be them starting to figure things out a bit

My money is on the HxH Hunter Exam arc

Curious which shonen the Wolves coaching staff went with for the film session to get this inspiring play out of their guys tonight

Wolves are having their first "power of friendship" game of the year, Lakers fans gotta be furious

Respectfully

Atrocious slate of hoops tonight

Relatively speaking, yeah. I’ve generally been pretty impressed

Think I'm just about ready to launch some #takes about AJ Green's defense

LaMelo Ball is not only scoring at the highest efficiency of his career (finally at a league average rate), but he's also putting up the most points on a nightly basis of his career. Things are finally coming together for him as a scorer.

2000+ words into writing this LaMelo Ball video with Married to the Game on repeat

Anthony Davis is recording the 5th most possessions as the roll man in the pick and roll so far this season, and he's scoring at the highest rate in the NBA among players with min. 50 possessions as the roll man with 1.45 points per possession.

A little clunky and he flirts with the travel but nice to see Knecht putting the ball on the floor and making the pass to AD on the roll

Reddish is prepping this pin-in screen for Knecht on Anthony Black, and Suggs comes to double, so this is a great cut by Knecht to give LeBron a release valve with Black thinking he's still in the corner.

They run the same thing right after, only this time, Knecht pops out off after the ball screen for the open three

Lakers run "Wide Ram 77"

1. Wide pindown for Knecht to set a ball screen for D'Lo (Ram)

2. 77 aka double drag, with Knecht setting the ball screen and popping while AD sets the second screen and rolls

What finally gets the defense is Christie faking the lift before cutting baseline for the slam

Cam Reddish is quietly playing some great basketball in a limited role to start the season

LaMelo is in a flow state rn

Sincerely appreciate that, thank you!

The Lakers are scoring 112.5 points per 100 halfcourt plays with Dalton Knecht on the floor in 597 possessions. That's a rate that ranks in the 99th percentile in the NBA currently.

Yeah no team is beating Boston in a 7-game series

Isaiah Joe's reaction when he realizes he missed the rotation is priceless

I like how the Nuggets are having Westbrook feed Jokic in the post to create an open cut when Westbrook's defender sends the double.

Peyton Watson has already made 9 catch and shoot threes through 10 games this season

Last season, he made 40 catch and shoot threes total across 80 games played.

Finally lost my Synergy access after 3+ years

He didn’t make a three the rest of the night and went 2/7

Did Giannis just do what I think he did 😭

RON HOLLAND NOOOOO
