    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    You may be in the minority, but I'm hanging around with you there. This is what I've been trying to say for a few pages now.

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    if the NBA average is .96 PPP against zone, and the C's went .76 in the series against Miami (the team that runs more zone than any other in the NBA), I don't know how much more evidence we need to show that the C's struggle against the zone. Teams do not use zone defenses in the NBA with any...

    I mean, it's literally on the prior page, watch the 1st like 10 possessions where the C's get the ball to the foul line against the zone. It is basketball 101 going back to high school for a team to send a corner cutting the baseline. View...

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    There's a few places that support it (you'll notice it's mostly bad defensive teams that use zone): https://hoop-social.com/the-twilight-zone-how-much-zone-defense-does-the-nba-use/ With the first view, we see that the NBA, in general, fares worse with zone defense than with man defense...

    Ok then, let's keep running plays to kick out to a group of guys shooting 20-25% from 3 in the series, instead of dunking or hitting easy layups to find a rhythm, and maybe, just maybe force Miami out of the zone that we are scoring .76 points per trip against. I mean, shit, I could coach this...

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    Maybe, for a half, or maybe one game? They finished the series at .76 points per possession against the zone. See below. Now, one might ask "why don't more teams employ zones?" Why, because they are easy as shit to break for normal NBA players with good coaching. It doesn't require hoping...

    That completely misses the point on breaking the zone. That wide open 3 is going to be there even if one of the corner guys cuts the baseline. The other wing just relocates into that spot. How many of those plays on that 6:00 minute reel ended up in wide open 3's, and how many did they...

    Caleb Martin getting hot from 3 bothered me way less than Caleb Martin hitting mid range jumpers like Durant, and finishing around the rim like Jordan bothered me.

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    I realize I kind of talked about that Heat series in that post, but really, I was trying to make the point and respond to the entire season on the whole. That said, if we want to dive into the Miami series, Marcus shot 35.7% from 3 against the Heat, which is fine in a vaccuum, but almost all...

    Coaching. This offense was a clusterfuck when their 3's didn't fall. I said it over and over again throughout the regular season, this team was only going to lose if they got hurt and their 3's didn't fall. Both of those ended up coming to pass. An offense against a zone that doesn't take...

    PGA, LIV tours to merge

    I suppose, but in reality, what did the LIV Tour side have to lose? At worst, they lose the Tour that nobody cared about and didn't exist a couple years ago. At best, they lose money, which they can laugh about around the campfire that they toss 100's into as kindling.

    PGA, LIV tours to merge

    Wasn't one of the lawsuits between PGA and LIV going to result into a very deep dive into the PGA as a charity organization? That's the part I took from Monahan's letter, where he writes "PGA Tour Inc will remain as a 501(c)6 tax exempt organization... Then later, he writes "this brings...

    PGA, LIV tours to merge

    You're assuming that money is already in Phil and Brooks' bank accounts. If they signed a 5yr deal worth 200mil (for example), and we're in year 2, then they got 80mil. How do you think a lawsuit to collect the rest of their money plays out in a Saudi or even an American court, and if they...

    Not Being a Joker, We Need A The Finals Thread

    Who would have ever thunk getting a big wing like Tatum, I mean Aaron Gordon, underneath against Gabe Vincent might be a good idea.

    Every time they say it, I want to throw something at the screen. Watching all of the off ball movement, and taking advantage of mismatches that Denver is doing is making me insane.
