The Heat have basically stopped running pick and rolls. Looked into what they're doing instead: onlydownone.substack.com/p/the-heat-h...
The Heat have given up on pick-and-rolls
The Heat have taken residence on the extremes of NBA offense.

Random, but a very bizarre decision by the Hornets to close with Tre Mann over Sexton last night. Obviously would love to have Miller out there, but that choice made little sense to me. Mann had a tougher time with Maxey and missed a potential tying three late.

Victor Wembanyama has gone up another level
He's made major strides on offense. This is scary for the rest of the league.

Nice adjustment by Wallace by wait on Amen's shoulder-shove and leaning floater. Amen overall has had his way in that matchup.

Sheppard is good at some aspects of defense but REALLY bad at others

Cason Wallace looks like a menace tonight. OKC getting the turnover machine going to compensate for bad shooting, just like old times.

NBC broadcast sounds great so far. Tirico is a true pro. Crawford is super concise but insightful. Significant upgrade over what we had last year.

Same thing with running him off a pindown right into Amen's man at the top of the key. That won't accomplish anything.
I know Reed Sheppard looks entirely off the pace and has done throughout his NBA career to date. He is not however ever going to get with the pace if you just stand him in the opposite corner and hope a kick-out pass makes it through the wall of Thunder limbs.

I really can't wait to see Reed Sheppard with this Rockets group. If he's good, that changes everything.

We knew the Rockets spacing would be bad, but they have to generate quality post ups for KD and Sengun (plus Jabari a little) somehow. Don't know how they can get a competent half court offense going otherwise.

What is the Charlotte Hornets' plan?
The Hornets are in the wilderness. LaMelo Ball remains their clearest path out.

Spare a thought for Dallas fans. The 2024 Mavs are a super underrated team historically. Should've loomed as the final test for this improved Thunder team. It's too bad we won't get to see that matchup again.

Congrats to the OKC Thunder fans on here. One of my favorite and most fascinating sports teams I've watched. Decided sometime in the middle of last season that I just couldn't miss a game they played. A joy to see them win it.

Some random G3 thoughts.
-Can the Pacers execute peel switches/"next" on SGA; how much do they send doubles?
-Pacers using creative plays — ie flipped screens, off ball splits — to get seals in the post for Pascal and Myles
-Is Chet comfortable on offense and making his shots

The Aaron Wiggins legacy game in the Finals is cool to see. Two confident stepback threes, that steal flying in against a Siakam post seal.

Fascinating minutes from OKC's double-big lineup. Isaiah Joe was out there, but never set his trademark flat screens. Instead, they leaned into dribble hand-offs and ball screens. Shai made some good reads and Chet hit shots. Smart coaching from Daigneault.
