Welcome to my game notes. For the most part(particularly on offense), these are possession-by-possession notes of all the things that happened on the court. It’s a way for me to learn as much as possible about what happened during the game because I would otherwise forget. Anything can be a note, no matter how small or complicated.
These are my personal notes. This is not meant to read as analysis or a piece. Some of the sentences may not have structure or perfect grammar. They are notes. My goal for this is to somewhat track the things that happen to know what to dig deeper into and have some kind of reference to it somewhere.
Clips will be accompanied for key plays I want to highlight.
1st
12:00 — Davion-Klay-Wiggins-Giannis-Bam. Davion brings ball. Wiggins comes off a Klay pindown in the paint. Davion-Wiggins PNR but that creates no advantages.
Swing to Bam on the elbow. Klay backscreens for Davion. Then he flows into a handoff with Bam. Creates all the space for a 3pt
ORB(Giannis). Gets the board and resets passing out. Bam swings to Davion. He attacks Duncan off the catch. Gets deep to the paint, draws the defense and kicks to Bam relocating for C&S 3pt
Nice first set to get Klay going. This was the standard play with Duncan
Both of these looks come from good process and were wide open
11:14 — Just a sloppy pass from Davion ends in TOV
11:01 — Bam brings ball. Swings to Giannis in the corner. He’s just dribbling and going nowhere. Attacks baseline vs Duren but couldn’t finish the layup
There’s help inside already too. Ausar doesn’t care about Davion on the wing and sits at the rim.
ORB(Wiggins). Wiggins gets the long rebound. He gets Cade on the pumpfake and tries to attack off the catch but his drive gets stopped and makes the kick back to Davion for a C&S 3pt — Ausar short closeout.
Wiggins should’ve made that pass sooner rather than try to attack. Also don’t know why he just stopped the drive like that
10:15 — Davion brings ball and swings to Wiggins in the corner. He dribbles a lot and tries to attack Cade baseline but he’s cut short. Wasted time.
There was also a potential kick to Klay in the corner. Bam was in the dunker that drew the sink. He was setting a pin in screen
Ball swings back to the other side to Klay. Flows into Klay-Giannis PNR. He draws the extra rotation and swings to Davion for another C&S 3pt
9:47 — Davion brings ball. Swings to Giannis trailing. He just attacks Duren with ease in early offense. Defense just got back so there was no time to send extra help. He gets to the rim
9:18 — Bam brings ball with the side cleared. Ball swings to the other side and feeds Giannis in post. Has the whole side cleared. Quickly looks to attack baseline. Draws Duncan to double off Klay 1 pass away. Ausar rotates to take that. Bam cuts to the paint. Giannis makes the kick to Wiggins for the C&S 3pt
The pressure was good and it caught Giannis in a poor position to make that pass. That allowed Ausar to rotate back
8:45 — Some full court pressure from Det. Wiggins brings ball. Tried to feed Bam in the post. He’s getting fronted by Collins. Ausar is showing help on the backside a lot. Giannis flashes and gets the pass and immediately makes the kick to Davion for C&S 3pt
So many of these C&S 3pt. Although some are open, not sure if I’m a fan, especially when it happens so quick
This also would’ve been better had Wiggins made that skip in the first place
8:16 — Bam passes ahead to Giannis in the corner. Cuts and relocates after the pass. Giannis gets to the post and has the side cleared. Cade showing help at the elbow off Wiggins 1 pass away. Ausar ignoring Davion and sits in the paint.
Giannis just dribbles and goes for a long post fade. Davion cuts but he did it late
7:52 — Giannis pushes pace. He quickly attacks and gets to the paint on the side. That collapses the defense. Again, Ausar doesn’t care about Davion and he instantly run to the paint. Defense was scrambling. Giannis makes the kick to Wiggins trailing for another C&S 3pt
So many C&S 3pt. Some of them are good open looks and that’s where variance will help but at the same time, some are taken very early and the process just isn’t there when there could’ve been better shots
7:30 — Off a make. Davion is pushing pace FAST. He quickly gets past Ausar and attacks Duren. Gets to the rim, forces a rotation from Collins off Bam in the dunker. Makes a kick to Wiggins in the corner. Wiggins looks to beat the closeout and drives baseline but there’s no space with both Giannis and Bam. Defense was scrambling. Wiggins makes the kick to Davion relocating to the corner for yet another C&S 3pt
Davion also would’ve had a pass to Giannis cutting had he slowed down a bit.
I feel like Bam should’ve moved somewhere quicker knowing that kick was being made
Klay great job lifting taking Duncan away that opened up the corner
6:57 —
Off a miss. Davion pushes pace. Finds Klay ahead for a quick transition C&S 3pt — this seemed like a heat check, even though he’s not hot
Bam good positioning inside already. That takes Collins and opens up Wiggins on the cut to get the ORB. Tries to get back up but gets blocked. Gets his own ORB again. Kicks to Davion up top for another C&S 3pt — he doesn’t hesitate
ORB(Giannis). He gets the loose ball. 1 power dribble and gets a layup plus and one
6:16 — Another time pushing pace, this time off a make. Davion passes ahead to Giannis leaking out. He quickly gets a drive to the rim but couldn’t finish through traffic
6:00 — Davion brings ball, quickly feeds Bam in post. He got pushed out to the 3pt line, though by Collins. Side cleared. Davion cuts after he makes the pass. Bam drives baseline but offensive foul TOV
5:37 — Davion-Klay-Wiggins-Bobby-Giannis. Off a miss. Pushing pace. A couple of passes ahead. Davion gets it to Klay in the corner in transition for C&S 3pt
There have been so many catch and shoots but I don’t feel good about the offense. But also shots like these HAVE to go in. They are wide open practice shots
5:18 — Davion brings ball to the side. Klay cuts through to clear the side(this was the staple from last year). Giannis looks to come set a screen. Davion just attacks baseline immediately. He draws the defense and makes a pass to Giannis rolling.
Cade doesn’t care about Wiggins at all and is just in the paint waiting for Giannis to put the ball down and strips him for TOV. Giannis needs to be more aware
5:05 — Off a steal. Giannis passes ahead to Klay. He makes a pass to Davion cutting in transition to the rim
4:32 — Davion-THJ-Wiggins-Bobby-Giannis. Davion feeds Giannis at the elbow, but he also gets pushed to the 3pt line. He doesn’t waste time. He quickly attacks Reed off dribble, draws help from strong side corner and kicks to THJ for another C&S 3pt
As that happened, Bobby sprints up from the corner, as Davion looked to screen too. That caused confusion between Ron and Collins. Good off-ball movement to occupy the defense
4:03 — Davion brings ball. Quick swing to Giannis trailing. He just attacks off the catch. Does get around Reed a bit but loses balance and drops on the shot. Misses the layup
Very early, quick shot before the defense was fully set
3:43 — Off a miss. Davion outlet pass to Giannis near the rim. He quickly passes to THJ running to the corner. Draws a fly by contest by Ron. Then goes up for the C&S 3pt shot — contested by Joe
Another early shot that probably shouldn’t have happened
3:13 — Off a make. Davion just full head of steam. That was a fast drive to the rim for a foul
2:56 — Davion-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Giannis. Off a miss. Pushing pace. THJ passes ahead to Giannis running. He just gets a quick drive in semi transition to the paint for a foul
Attacking before the defense is set
2:28 —
Pelle-THJ-Niko-Bobby-Bam
Bam brings ball and goes right to the post vs Ron. Niko cuts to clear side. Bam is just pounding the ball whilst everyone watches. He makes an awful kick to Bobby.
Bobby now has Huerter(Duren switched to be the low man on Niko). He looks to get into the post. Joe immediately doubled off THJ 1 pass away. Rotations happen elsewhere
It’s a 3s def call
SLOB(Niko). Bobby hub. Pelle comes off Bam pindown. No advantage. Flows into Pelle-Bam PNR, over and drop. No contact on the screen. Pelle makes the skip pass to Niko in the corner. He attacks the closeout and gets a drive to the rim for a foul
That was a good quick recognition from Pelle as soon as Huerter helped
1:51 —
Trying to push pace. Bobby brings the ball. Hands off to Pelle in the corner. Pelle just takes Jenkins off the dribble and does a rip through to draw the foul on the drive for FTA
Quick drive from Pelle early in the offense. Also a good move to foul bait
1:20 —
THJ lost the ball on the rebound TOV
1:05 —
Davion-THJ-Pelle-Niko-Bobby
Davion brings ball. He quickly looks to attack Joe in ISO. Gets a step on him, has the drive to the rim, draws the low man and makes the kick to Pelle in the corner.
He doesn’t take the shot but beats the closeout, driving baseline. That draws help. He makes a kick to Bobby. He also doesn’t take the shot. Draws a hard closeout. Gets to the paint for a floater over the defense
A couple of things here. Pelle in the dunker(He has been there often in game 1). Not sure why he didn’t just stay there but he moved to the corner. That would’ve drew Jenkins and opened up THJ.
Also, whoever defends Davion DOES NOT hesitate to help on drives. I know that is a given to stop the ball, but if they’re on him, it’s an automatic all the time and not caring where Davion is.
Bobby went for the floater but he also had open kicks
0:31 —
Pelle brings ball. Dribbles to kill clock. Side is cleared. He looks to attack baseline. Draws Duren on the rotation. Then makes the kick to Davion. That draws a closeout. He swings to Bobby in the corner for a C&S 3pt
I liked this process
Also, I liked Niko cutting to occupy the defense and make some of the rotations longer. It put Jenkins in a situation.
Pelle’s reaction time to make these reads are quick
0:04 —
Davion just goes for a last second PU 3pt
2nd
11:43 —
Ball swinging as THJ cross screens for Bobby. Bobby gets fed in the post vs a mismatch with Joe. Collins immediately goes to double. Pelle is cutting around the rim, taking Huerter away. Bobby makes the skip pass to Davion. Quick swing pass to THJ. He attacks the closeout well, gets a drive and draws a PF
Pelle in the dunker!
SLOB(Niko). Davion hub. THJ looks to come off a stagger from Pelle-Bobby. He’s getting top locked by Joe. Defense was focused on keeping THJ away. Good counter from Bobby to exploit that to pop for C&S 3pt
11:05 —
Off a steal. Davion pushes pace. He passes to Bobby running go the corner for a C&S 3pt
Not a good shot. Too early for a semi contested 3. This isn’t an open transition 3pt
Also good cutting from THJ to force Cade to cover him before contesting Bobby
10:46 —
Pelle quickly feeding Niko in the post vs Huerter. Side cleared. He just looks to back him down. No defense is coming to double. There’s some help in gaps but not strong. He gets to the paint and draws FTA
10:20 —
Off a miss. Looking to push with passes ahead. Almost a broken possession with the ball loose after deflection. Pelle ends up getting it and finds Davion in the corner for a wide open C&S 3pt in transition
ORB(Niko). He gets the putback layup
9:54 —
Davion brings the ball and looks to push. He quickly attacks before the defense is set. Gets to the paint but doesn’t really force any rotations or help. Stops and kicks to THJ lifting from the corner for a C&S 3pt
Not a great look. This was an early shot and not fully wide open. Poor decision from THJ
9:16 —
Off a miss. Pelle brings the ball and looks to attack before the defense is set. He sees he has Duncan so he goes at him. Good burst on the drive to get by to the paint and draws FTA
I like this kind of pushing pace when the defense is walking back
8:48 —
Pushing pace again. This time quickly feeding Niko in the post vs Huerter. He doesn’t waste any time kicking it out back to Bobby(I feel like he expected it back). Bobby doesn’t hesitate and attacks Cade off catch, it was a hard closeout. He gets the drive and goes for a floater over 2 defenders. Not good
Ausar DOES NOT CARE ABOUT DAVION. He was the first one to contest the shot. Collins also rotated off Pelle in the dunker(as always)
Pelle started in the dunker but moved to the 3pt line as the drive happened. I don’t understand. STAY THERE
8:25 —
Whole broken possession. Started off with Niko as the hub. THJ was looking to come off a stagger from Pelle-Bobby. That turned into a pindown for Pelle to curl and go middle. Same thing with Bobby. His defender sags off so he pops but it was a bad pass. Defense recovered and no advantage
Offense resets. And it’s Davion late clock ISO. He gets a drive vs Ausar to the paint but no rotations. Makes a kick to Pelle for a C&S 3pt
Awful possession. I liked what they tried to do but awful execution
Pelle-Klay-Wiggins-Niko-Giannis
Giannis brings the ball with the side cleared. I don’t think he or others know what the plan is. He’s just dribbling. There is some cutting from others but awful execution again. Both Niko and Wiggins 45 cut at the same time?
Giannis continues to dribble a lot with no purpose until he drives and kicks to Pelle. Swings to Niko. He tries to create late clock and drives draws a PF
A whole possession with no purpose
SLOB(Pelle). Giannis hub. Niko looks to pindown for Klay. He’s getting top locked. Giannis doesn’t care. He’s just looking to attack Duren off the dribble. Gets to the rim but couldn’t finish
7:12 —
Wiggins brings the ball vs pressure in backcourt. Awful pass feeding Giannis ends in TOV
6:52 —
Off a steal. Niko pushes pace. Finds Klay on the break. He doesn’t take the shot, instead he finds Wiggins cutting to the rim
Great decision from Klay
6:30 —
Off a miss. Looked to push pace but defense recovered. Giannis just gets the ball and goes ISO PU 2pt vs Reed at the ft line. Why is that the shot with 15s left?
6:05 —
Off a miss. Again looking to push pace. Giannis brings the ball and finds Wiggins trailing. He passes for a C&S 3pt
This is one of those open looks in rhythm. That has to go in — side note, I have looked at the tracking stats and they are shooting so badly on these looks
ORB(Det couldn’t secure the loose ball).
Not a full video. But looks like Klay is coming off a handoff from Giannis. Gets a wide open 3pt with Duncan trailing
ORB(couldn’t get the loose ball)
SLOB(Wiggins). Feeding Pelle in the post with the side cleared. He quickly drives baseline and dumps off to Giannis cutting. Just a clean dunk
As Pelle drove, Reed ignored Giannis and was the one to help.
5:03 —
Pelle brings the ball and tries to clear the side. It turns into just a Giannis ISO in the post. He goes for a fade as the double comes. Settles for a long mid-range. Green is not guarding Niko at all and he’s just lifting up instead of cutting
ORB(Giannis). Draws the ENTIRE team when he got the ball.
He makes the kick to Klay. Defense rotating. Swing to Wiggins. Feeding Giannis again in the post, this time vs mismatch with Duncan. Reed comes to double right away from behind. Giannis draws an offensive foul TOV
4:20 —
Davion-Klay-Niko-Wiggins-Giannis
Off a miss. Klay pushing pace. Passes ahead to Wiggins on the side. He quickly attacks Duncan off the catch. Draws multiple defenders inside. That opens up a kick to Davion for an early C&S 3pt
Giannis is rim running so that also already bringing bodies to the rim
4:05
Davion-Klay-Pelle-Wiggins-Giannis
Davion brings ball. Directs the offense. Pelle comes off a stagger from Wiggins-Giannis, switch the 1st and top locked 2nd. Ball swings to Giannis. Davion-Giannis handoff. Draws a hard blitz. Swings to Klay. Defense rotates. He takes his time to swing to Pelle. He gets a corner C&S 3pt but it’s blocked
ORB(Giannis). Physical and goes up for FTA
This is where Davion’s size come in. Help was early in the paint. After that blitz, it should’ve been a skip to Pelle rather than making the extra pass
Klay should’ve also made the pass. I have no idea why he dribbled
Also, Pelle in the dunker! I don’t understand why he starts there
3:31
Wiggins brings ball. He just swings to Giannis trailing. He quickly attacks off the catch. It’s basically one dribble and he’s gone. It’s a nice spin and gets to the rim for a dunk
Very quick shot as the defense looks to recover. No time to set up help
3:03
Almost the same thing. Giannis brings the ball and quickly looks to attack. He doesn’t hesitate. Gets past into the paint with a nice spin. Draws 2 defenders, one from dunker and one from strong corner. He makes the kick to Wiggins in the corner for a C&S 3pt
They didn’t care about Wiggins at all.
Pelle in the dunker! The help from him is also automatic and very early
2:25
Davion-Klay-Pelle-Wiggins-Bobby
Davion brings ball. Hub. Klay looks to come off a stagger from Wiggins-Bobby. Gets top locked by Duncan on the 1st. Then decides to backcut but Reed is helping off Bobby to cover the pass.
Wiggins now coming off a pindown from Bobby but no advantage. Reed again helping on the curl
Davion swings to Bobby. He attacks baseline off the catch. He’s immediately going into a post up spin for a fade as the double comes from Davion
Not sure why that was the look from Bobby. There was still time
Also, as soon as Davion passes, Ausar doesn’t care one bit
Also, I love Pelle. He started in the corner and he’s looking to set a pin in screen for Klay after he backcut but Davion wasn’t looking that way
2:02
Klay pushes pace. Quick two swings to Wiggins in the corner for a C&S 3pt in transition
This is one of those looks that have to be made. That’s a good look for Wiggins. A really good one but it’s just a bad miss
ORB(loose ball).
BLOB(Davion). Klay trying to come off a screen. Pass gets deflected
BLOB(Davion). Feeds Bobby. Gets the handoff. Swings to Klay and he’s just going for a tough contested stepback 3pt. Why is that a shot? There was still 8s left
ORB(Pelle). Kicks to Davion up top. He draws a hard closeout from Ausar for some reason. He beats the closeout. Gets to the paint. Kicks to Bobby. Swings to Pelle. Draws a flyby closeout by Ausar and side steps into a 3pt
This is the definition of ball finding energy and finding the open guy
I have enjoyed the non Bam-Giannis minutes with this group
1:10
Wiggins pushing pace. Trying to attack the defense before it’s set. Swings to Bobby trailing, pump fakes for a 3pt. Handsoff to Davion. He quickly attacks off the dribble, gets right to the rim for a layup
This was awful defense from Ausar
Pelle in the dunker! Forcing Cade to be the low man help. He did rotate but didn’t really offer much resistance. Davion finished around him well
0:31
No full video but it’s a Davion drive to the rim with 19s. I assume he just did his burst and got quickly to the rim after pushing pace
0:10
Wiggins-Klay PNR. Duncan shows. No advantage. Wiggins just killed his dribble. He swings to Pelle and he just has to side step vs Ausar to create space for late clock 3pt
Not sure what Wiggins was thinking on that screen
3rd
Davion-Klay-Wiggins-Giannis-Bam
11:35
Giannis brings ball. Davion curls around Bam at the elbow to get the pass. Davion-Giannis PNR(Giannis quickly slips). Davion-Bam PNR, forced Ausar to go over then a switch. Davion has Collins. Bam has Ausar. No advantage. Swings to Wiggins lifting. He struggles attacking Cade off the catch and just settles for a stepback mid
I don’t even know what this offense was. What was the plan? THIS is the first play of the 2nd half?
Not sure why Davion just killed the dribble when he got Collins
11:04
Bam brings the ball. He’s telling Giannis to cut or clear. Ball swings to Davion. He feeds Giannis in the post vs Reed. Side cleared. Ausar is ready to double as soon as Davion passed and cut.
Giannis spins baseline and is patient to just go up for a finish
The spacing issue with Davion is annoying because his defender doesn’t care about him at all
Cade is also in the paint off of Wiggins
10:38
Off a steal. Wiggins brings the ball. He drives and finds Giannis cutting to the rim in transition
10:12
Bam brings ball. Swings to Giannis. He tries his usual move attacking off the catch and spinning into the paint. Cade is there at the elbow off of Bam to prevent that. Collins was also ready to help at the rim. You have Ausar on the other side digging off Davion
Kick to Bam 1 pass away. He looks to attack Cade in a bad position. Draws a PF
SLOB(Davion). Giannis hub. Klay looks to come off a stagger from Wiggins-Bam. Gets top locked by Duncan and backcuts. Giannis has to make that pass. Klay has him beat.
Wiggins comes off a Bam pindown. Gets the pass and curls middle. Collins switches. He also draws defense from Reed up top off Giannis. He tried to go for a PU 2pt, left his feet and now passes it off to Giannis for a C&S 3pt
Poor shot and execution
This started with Giannis missing Klay
Also Wiggins immediately thinking shoot and going for a pull up killed the possession too.
9:42
Pushing pace. Giannis quickly looks to attack. He puts his head down and attacks right away. Every defender is in the paint off of everyone. That’s a wall formed. He draws a PF
SLOB(Wiggins). Giannis hub. Klay backscreens for Wiggins. That forces a switch. Klay gets top locked. Giannis doesn’t do anything. Ausar is also at the nail off of Davion. Giannis is slow to react. He swings to Davion. Another swing to Klay. That’s a poor shot, forcing it, though I like that Klay doesn’t stop moving
Giannis needs to be faster with the decision making if he has the ball
I also thought Klay could’ve gone for the handoff
9:13
Giannis elbow hub. Bam and Davion look to set a stagger screen for Wiggins in the corner. Ausar switches the 1st and top locks. As that happens, Giannis just easily drives and takes Reed off the dribble and spins to the rim
I like this. Defense was occupied and that gave Giannis all the space
8:30
Giannis brings ball. He has Ausar on him. He quickly looks to back him down in the paint. As he turns around, he gets stripped by him for a TOV
8:12
Off a make, pushing pace quickly. Davion looked to run. He makes a pass ahead to Klay leaking to the corner for a transition corner C&S 3pt
Easy offense. Good look for Klay — he has been hitting these looks
7:55
Off a miss. Davion looking to push pace. He tries to get a drive to the rim. Reset on the kick back to Wiggins.
Feeding Giannis in the post vs cross match with Duncan. That draws the entire defense on him. Collins leaves Bam to help. Giannis makes the kick to Bam. Defense in rotation. He swings to Wiggins for a C&S 3pt
Was this a good shot?
7:29
Off a miss. Again pushing pace. Bam passes ahead to Wiggins leaking out. He gets to the rim but what a recovery from Ausar on the block
7:10
Davion brings ball. Klay comes off a pindown from Bam. Getting top locked by Duncan. But gets through, defense is trailing. Gets the pass. This essentially turns into an empty PNR with Bam. He rolls. Gets the quick pocket pass. Defense rotates. Bam finds Giannis cutting to the rim
This was perfect. This is what should happen more
One of Bam or Giannis drawing the defense on a drive and the other feasting off a cut
6:42
Off a miss. Davion pushes pace. He finds Wiggins cutting to the rim in transition for and one
6:23
Off a steal. Davion gets a drive to the rim but smokes a layup in transition
6:10
Off a steal. Bam brings ball. He quickly attacks. Gets to the paint, bumps Reed off him and goes for a fade very early
Quick shot vs defense not set in semi transition
5:13
Davion pushes pace off a make. Swings to Wiggins. He quickly feeds Giannis in the post and he draws a PF on the hold
Bonus FTA
4:55
Pelle-Klay-Wiggins-Giannis-Bam
Off a make. Pushing pace again. Pelle passes ahead to Giannis in front and that’s all it takes. Giannis gets the ball at half court and it’s two dribbles and he’s at the rim. This drive was so easy through Collins
Shot before the defense was set
4:35
Pelle brings ball. Klay comes off a Bam pindown. Good separation and has Joe trailing. Gets the pass and doesn’t hesitate to take that quick C&S 3pt
Early shot from Klay but that was a good look for him
4:18
Wiggins brings the ball. Quickly flows into Wiggins-Giannis PNR, ice. Giannis gets the pocket pass. He looks to roll but there’s help already there. Huerter is there off of Pelle from the dunker. Giannis finds Pelle inside. Joe has to rotate. Pelle makes a kick to Klay for a C&S 3pt
That’s a great look. I would’ve liked the pass to be better. Also Pelle probably could’ve done a better job to finish at the rim instead
Also, Wiggins was so set on the pocket pass, HE missed Pelle at the rim. That’s a layup right there
Giannis also could’ve shifted the defense better to open things up
ORB(Bam). Gets the board and quickly kicks to Klay for another C&S 3pt
He has to make those
ORB(Giannis). Cuts for the putback dunk
3:28
Wiggins brings ball. Swings back to Pelle trailing. He attacks off the catch. He gets a drive to the paint but awful finish. He gets blocked at the rim by Huerter
That needs to be more physical from Pelle
But again attacking before the defense is set is good
3:11
Quickly feeding Bam in post before the defense is set. Held the ball until the defense did get back. Quick jab step, gets to the paint for a PU 2pt. He draws the foul
Defense was already in the paint and made the shot harder. Huerter helped off of Wiggins
Not sure why Bam just didn’t attack sooner
Davion-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Bam
2:36
THJ brings ball. Swings to Bobby. Davion is getting top locked. He tries to backcut. Bobby tries to make the pass but deflected
Davion-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Giannis
SLOB(Davion). Pelle hub. THJ looks to come off a pindown from Bobby. No advantage
Pelle just ends up going ISO vs Joe. He’s physical and gets a drive to the paint but a bit out of control and it’s a poor shot over Reed
Giannis is just camping in the dunker
2:12
Davion brings the ball with the side cleared. He just swings to Giannis and he takes a C&S 3pt without hesitation
Not a great shot. This isn’t the shot at that time
1:43
Off a miss. Pushing pace. Pelle finds THJ trailing for a quick C&D 3pt
Yet another good look before the defense is set that results in a wide open 3pt shot in rhythm for a good shooter but it just doesn’t hit
1:17
Dru-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Giannis
Giannis brings ball. Space is looked to be cleared. He quickly just goes for a PU 2pt vs Reed. There’s nothing else, gets to the paint and does a stepback
Very early shot too. not sure if I like that even though he made it
0:40
Dru brings the ball but defense is all over him. A bit out of control. He tries to make a kick but bad pass TOV
0:28
Off a make. Pushing pace. Pelle passes ahead to Giannis. He quickly tries to attack on the drive. Felt a bump and tried to draw a foul but didn’t get it. So it’s a quick PU 2pt instead
Off a make. Pushing pace. Pelle passes ahead to Giannis. He quickly tries to attack on the drive. Felt a bump and tried to draw a foul but didn’t get it. So it’s a quick PU 2pt instead
4th
11:55
Dru-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Bam
Dru-Bobby PNR. It was just a ghost screen really, Bobby popped. No advantage. Bobby swings to THJ for a handoff. THJ looks to create and just goes ISO PU 3pt vs Huerter
Poor process on this offense
11:30
Dru-Bam PNR. Draw 2 on the hard show. Bam pops. Attacks off the catch and just goes for a push shot in the paint
Pelle 45 cuts as the PNR happens and stays in the dunker. That brings Cade in the paint when Bam was looking to attack. But that also took Ron to sink down. Bam would’ve had an open Bobby on the kick in the strong corner
11:00
Same thing. Dru-Bam PNR. Pelle 45 cuts to the dunker. Bobby in the strong corner. Defense goes under and switch. Dru goes for a PU 3pt vs Reed
Good counter to the defensive change
10:36
Off a miss. THJ outlet pass to Pelle. He gets a drive in transition. Challenges Cade at the rim and gets blocked
Pelle’s finishing needs to get better
10:18
Dru passes ahead to Bam in the corner. He looks to get in the post and back down Reed. Side cleared. Just over dribbling for no reason. Everyone is standing still. He’s taking too long to get anything going and settles for a tough fade contested
Dru 1 pass away has Joe stunting
Pelle in the dunker. He keeps Huerter away from helping
9:58
Dru hub. Bobby off a pindown from Pelle. No advantage on the catch. Everyone not sure what to do. Ball swings to Bam in the corner for a C&S 3pt
Just poor process and no plan of what to do
9:21
Dru-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Giannis
Off a miss. Giannis pushes pace. Swings to Bobby trailing. Doesn’t hesitate and just takes the C&S 3pt
ORB(THJ). Loose ball finds Giannis. He’s wide open for so long and just takes the 3pt
I would like Bobby to take a different shot., especially after the team hasn’t scored much in a while
Giannis shot is whatever
8:36
Giannis on the side. Looks to get in the post. Bobby is relocating from the dunker to the strong corner. As the defense is focused on Giannis, he kicks to Bobby. Draws a fly contest and side steps for a 3pt
8:12
Off a steal. Dru goes ISO in transition to the rim in traffic. Poor shot over Cade. That’s just challenging someone that’s taller than you for no reason
7:56
Giannis brings the ball slowly. Just flows into a handoff with THJ. He doesn’t hesitate and puts up 3pt right away. He draws a PF
Davion-THJ-Pelle-Bobby-Giannis
SLOB(Davion). Pelle gets the pass. Just swings to Bobby for a contested C&S 3pt
Not sure why that was the shot from Bobby. There was time
ORB(Giannis). Easy rebound over Collins and goes up for a putback layup
7:19
Giannis brings ball. THJ ghost screens. That brings Huerter on the show. THJ is open on the pop. Beats the closeout and has the drive to the rim but smoked the layup badly
I like THJ screening for Giannis a lot
6:43
Davion brings the ball. Looking to get Giannis in the post with the side cleared but struggling to get him the ball. THJ couldn’t vs Cade pressure. THJ just holding the ball and going away. He’s dribbling for far too long but ends up getting a baseline drive and bailed out with a foul for FTA
Awful process. THJ needs

Davion-THJ-Pelle-Giannis-Bam
Feeding Giannis early in the post with the side cleared. He has Green. He quickly gets to the paint and Collins is early to help off Bam. Bam’s in the dunker drawing Huerter on the sink. He makes the kick to Davion 1 pass away for a C&S 3pt
Very simple play getting the defense to collapse and kicking it out
5:31
Giannis hub. THJ coming off a Bam pindown. Draws a PF
SLOB(Davion). Pelle hub. THJ looks to come off a Giannis pindown. Gets top locked by Duncan. He backcuts. No pass there. Feeding Giannis in the post with the side cleared. He’s getting doubled as he goes baseline. Draws a PF
SLOB(Davion). Pelle hub. THJ again looking to come off a pindown from Giannis but top locked by Duncan. No cut available. Giannis gets fed on the elbow. He just goes to a post fade quickly
Not the best offense. There needs to be better counters to not getting free off ball
4:50
Off a steal. THJ just throws it away. Bad pass TOV
4:42
Off a miss. Bam outlet pass to Giannis. He’s already getting to the paint and goes up strong at the rim for and one in transition
4:26
Davion-Giannis PNR. Davion has the drive vs drop. Goes up for a wild layup
ORB(Giannis). Putback
Poor spacing. There’s Pelle in the dunker and Bam in the far corner. There was no room for Davion to go further, especially with Giannis also rolling
3:43
Pelle pushing pace. Quickly tried to feed Bam in the post vs a cross match. Bam tries to find Giannis on the cut but pass gets deflected. Giannis dives for the loose ball — jumpball
Jumpball won
Pelle tries to post entry to Giannis but bad pass TOV
