Lots of Knicks fans were furious over this non call, but it's clear they were missing a key piece of information directly from the rulebook. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqy...

I broke down the value to guarding Jokic with a guard and why he doesn't handle the physicality well from a psychological standpoint, including the piggy back ride on Keyonte George. This tactic can limit Jokic's overall production, but not his efficiency. FULL video here: youtu.be/FbsYwYMOMt0

lots of folks struggled with the proper rotations by the Lakers when the Suns great ball movement created a game winner. I went into detail to once and for all explain how a number of rotations are supposed to work. youtu.be/ehyr_wyNVrs

but what do you say to the fact that the gather step is utilized on half the layups in high school?

Austin Rivers: "There's that awkward footwork skill right there..."
Or more accurately, a travel as NBA players aren't allowed to gather with a foot down and then hop consecutively on that same foot.

That game winner last night was pretty lucky, too. Cannot believe how Illinois defended that

Players w/ no gravity can hurt your offense in subtle ways. Today's vid breaks down the 4 players w/ the worst gravity, based on the NBA's brand new stat.But the coaching staffs have figured out ways to integrate these "perimeter pariahs" into some good stuff as well. full vid: youtu.be/uqZ0cRCKLRQ

It's not just Coach Cronin's public disrespect for his players, the X's and O's can be a problem as well. Full video breakdown: youtu.be/knTaM4YcrZ8

Lost in the Cronin meltdown vs Mich St was his curious decision that led to the Jamerson foul. And no one noticed it til now. Please watch the full breakdown of his coaching at UCLA here: youtu.be/knTaM4YcrZ8

Sengun’s defense is a far far better than anyone gives him credit for. Only @bballbreakdown.bsky.social knows. youtu.be/W5xOAE9hOWA?...

Ever notice that Jamal Murray's fingers are NOT in contact with the ball until it gets to chin height? You'll love the breakdown I'm going to release on the 3pt contest coming up today!

We got a viral clip of KD yelling at Sengun for not playing defense. So I had to go thru a thousand possessions to figure out whether he deserved getting called out by his teammate and his coach. Full breakdown here:

To get 35 points in only 25 mins, the defense has to cooperate, as Austin Reaves took full advantage. And with Luka out from a hammy injury, Reaves return couldn't have been better timed, as I broke down how he has to be the primary threat on offense: youtu.be/K2jiqOjUSOU

How will Harden work alongside Donovan Mitchell? I broke it down where they can pull the defense as wide as possible between these two and open up the floor for a Harden pull up.

If the first screen causes help from the screener's defender, it's likely the shooter comes clean off the second screen

And after that second screen, there's probably a good slip opportunity

The Spurs laid out the blueprint for shutting down the Rockets offense - even though Ime Udoka has ways to go against it like we saw in this possession. Full breakdown here: youtu.be/15WEN0Z1VK4

It looked more like chaos to me, and instead of praising the adjustment Mazzulla made, perhaps we should be wondering why he sent Amari Williams on the floor in the 1st place. Link to fill video: youtu.be/cn2HTuF2Pnc

There are lots of finger pointing right now around the Knicks so I dove into the footage to figure out why they're 2-9 in their last 11. Full breakdown: youtu.be/GQxgsN7hl18

I know you gotta pick Curry up as soon as he walks into the gym, but Kris Dunn took it too literally, as Steph was not even in the game.
Guess who he was supposed to be guarding??🤣🏀

At least he gave us a "my bad" at the end

Nick Nurse spammed the same play over and over against the Knicks - running it over 15 times in the 2nd half - crazy, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Link to full video youtu.be/-Sk1GfzPELw

JJ Redick went nuclear on his team in a very specific way, so you know I had to break down what he meant and who he was pointing the finger at. Full video breakdown of his specific critiques: youtu.be/TRRe54zWTHM
