Game Thread Blazers VS Warriors OCT 4th, 7:00 PM

I'm excited to see Nassir.

 

Maybe Morey is too?

 

It is not showing as a blacked out game on Youtube TV.

 

Calling @Darkwebs

Your gracious services are in dire need!!!

 

Obviously not going to see the full playbook tonight, but I'll watching out for new stuff added since SL

In Vegas they primarily ran delay and pistol / 21 action on the secondary break. Some double drag ball screens as well (hands together is the signal)

Half court sets we saw a lot "away" which is just a staggered pin down (signaled by a point to the weakside). More double drag as well.

Out of timeouts is where we saw some more motion based sets. Typically a handoff with the corner and a swing pass to the weakside. From there they would get into their delay slash stuff or if it was a ball handler catching it is they'd flow into a step up screen with weakside big.

The also had some nice motion sets out of horns with a diver and popper then flowing into either delay or that handoff to a swing pass I talked about earlier.

Defensively should be interesting too. Are we up at the level and dropping from there? Is the big giving a couple slides and recovering? Is the low man pulling over to the lane line or all the way to the mid line? Are we X'ing out for there or just tagging and recovering?

I've heard Dallas is messing around with "x out" or "next" pnr coverage where if I'm understanding correctly, you've got your typical chase over by the guard and a dropping big and from there the nearest off ball defender pulls over to take the ball while the chasing guard x's out.

Happy to have some basketball to talk about again!

 

didn’t he coach fan fest????

 

were gonna see nurk playing jokic role in 2nd half without dame & cj

 

i very highly doubt that. He doesnt have near the skills joker has outside. Joker has way better balance.

plus i think they push Ant as the primary backup pg this season and so the ball will be in his hands. Plus Zeller needs work. Nurk wont play much the second half im thinking.

 

Finally, my first game since early March 2020. I hope no one messed up the ass groove in my seat.

 

I'm betting you don't see much of Nurk in the second half either.

 

But I'd tell you who you will see: my man CJ Elleby is Ready!

 

would be the biggest surprise for me. I don’t think I’ve ever doubted an Olshey draft pick more than him. Maybe Biggie once I saw him play in the league, but that’s about it.

 

The best defender on the team

 

Back at the Moda Center!


Go Blazers!

 

I’m Just glad we don’t have to listen to Jordan Kent anymore.

 

Unbelievably bad taste bro.
