At 1:40 I like the two wings using a flex screen and then back cut from your Post. That’s nice.

I swear the other team had possession of the ball for 35 seconds in that last clip before you stole it. That good defence needs to be rewarded for a 30 second shot clock violation

Very nice. Fighting to go over and avoid screens is really tough on an offence if you can do it. Plus the ball pressure makes skip passes hard too

That’s crazy!

Awesome!

Good luck!

WOW! A close OT game. My heart cannot handle too many of those!

Great and good luck!

The problem is, it’s a massive question mark. Both twins work very hard and shoot very poorly from 3. I don’t see it ever happening consistently.

I’m surprised he isn’t wearing a knee sleeve when he plays. From personal experience those feel fantastic. I don’t want to think about how the rotation would be when Cade misses along with Ivey

Sasser is the only unknown and he’s been good in short bursts. More THJ and Beasley. Probably more Ron and Ausar as THJ will move to G

@omarisankofa.bsky.social when do you think the Pistons will release info on Ivey’s injury? Do they fear a broken leg?

Only 9 now!

Only 12 FGs stand in Oregon’s way right now

So no starting lineup changes. I do hope we see minute adjustments. Reed and Sasser shouldn’t be DNP anymore. Ausar and Ron need a boost if the starters aren’t playing defence or playing with energy

100%. The Magic games always have an intensity to them so I expect a good start. It’s gonna come down to the Pistons and the Bulls imo. Their game two weeks from now will have extra importance.

Thanks!

It’s gonna take more imo. Probably the full MLE at over $12M I bet

I think if he likes it here and you feel he’s inclined to stay (even if no guarantee) you keep a sniper like that. I have no interest in a late first either and most teams aren’t gonna pay more for a quick rental. Losing him would really hurt the current team.

I hope Trajan doesn’t sell off any parts. We need to keep Beasley and then do what it takes to sign him long term this offseason. Ironically the one vet we could move is Tobias but he’s maybe the only wing with size. If we make a move I want a talent upgrade and not for picks

Do you trap PNR or first pass? Curious as to how many different options you have.

YouTube video by Coach Tony Miller Aggressive 2-1-2 ZONE DEFENSE Film Study | Greg Neeley

Saw this good video of a 2-1-2 pressure zone from Tony Miller and wonder if I should use it as a changeup or to even practice against

@davelepisto.bsky.social I have seen a ton of 3-2 or 1-2-2 half court pressure zone defences this year. Offensively we are just hunting space, flashing Nail or trying for swing-swing type of passes and attacking. Have you seen an increase in pressure half court zones? They pick you up at almost half

The Western Conference has 11 teams above .500! The East has 5. The Kings are in 12th place but would probably be the 6th or 7th best team in the East

College may have more parity now but it’s rare there are more than 4 great teams let alone 8. 12 just pacifies the complainers

He was nice. Took a pic with my family. He took too much heat from Pistons fans imo. The team liked him and played hard for him. Lacked the talent once Blake got hurt

Pic from 5 years ago (October). Dwane Casey spoke in Amherstburg about the racism he faced growing up and was really good. Kids are young here. Dwane is also NOT 6’2” lol (I am a little over 6’3” no shoes).

Sexton would help this offence. I would prefer a bigger swing for a creator that is also a good starter like LaVine. But he would be a good 6th man type.

I would like it the old way too - when guys actually competed and tried. The modern player ruined it and the NBA is resorting to changes trying to make it better. The young stars won’t take it easy and the vets aren’t happy about having to try
