WHAT A DIME from JB...Great cut from Minott, too!

Josh Minott was the STEAL OF THE SUMMER...

Josh Minott....Roll man

Lot's more off-ball activity to start this game. 

Here the Celtics run "Angle Ram" to get a Minott/PP screening action. 

Followed by running "Chest" for White to flare out to the weak side slot.

PP goes for the step back. Good process nonetheless. Way better fluidity.

Celtics go back to the Chest action here (player executes a ghost screen to come off a flare screen) PP turns down the shot and finds Neemy on the lob.

The movement so far has been SO MUCH better

Playcall: Empty-Side Iverson Oklahoma Fist

SLOB Possession 5

Simons is the shuffle cutter. Play run for Pritchard.

Toronto's perimeter defense does a great job of shutting down any space or advantage creation.

Flare screen gets Simons open. Missed shot.

SLOB Possession 4

Again run for Simons to cook. He's quicker getting into another PnR, rip screen from Hugo.

No advantage creation, tough step back 3

SLOB Possession 3

Garza the screener.

Simons *eventually* uses another Garza screen to attack weakside.

Counters solid defense with step back 2

SLOB Posession 2

Same action on the very next SLOB possession.

Lots of good reads available on this.

Great cut from Boucher.

SLOB Possession 1

Queta sets the slice screen for Harper Jr.

Harper Jr shuffle cuts and relocates to strong side corner .

Queta veers into another screen.

Defense chases screen receiver, Queta open on the elbow

3rd straight time of going to this on SLOB possessions.

Same action on the very next SLOB possession.

Lots of good reads available on this.

Great cut from Boucher.

Mazzulla tends to stick to a handful of SLOB (Sideline Out of Bounds) calls throughout a season.

This one could become a staple.

"Slice Veer"

"Quick Fist Miami"

Quick action between Minott and Queta

Queta flows into on-ball screen / PnR (fist)

PP cuts into side DHO with Simons

Simons comes off DHO into an on-ball screen from Queta

DHO into screen/pin = Miami/Pistol
