I started writing basketball blogs! There's a lot of interesting topics within the X's and O's of the game that I want to delve into: starting with the offensive concepts of spacing, ball-movement, and player-movement @levyhdavid/the-tradeoff-game-748aea620ebd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@levyhdavid/th…

@hoopsjock @protestabloc We also did utilize Gortat screens. Obviously to less success than Minnesota, but that has to do with our guards inability to navigate in the paint, and Gobert being one of the most effective screeners ever, not Splitter

@protestabloc How about this? x.com/KevinOConnor/s…

The Timberwolves used a “Gortat screen” against Victor Wembanyama last night and it opened the paint for an Anthony Edwards drive and finish. @ryenarussillo and I want to see Minnesota do more of it

Billups said last off-season the offense had to change. Splitter was literally brought in specifically to fix the offense. We can discuss all the other things, like navigating a difficult season as a rookie head coach, but the "what was he supposed to do?" argument is silly.

Dude, the Blazers have one capable downhill guy (Deni is GREAT at it) and no real shooting (#28 in 3 point shooting on the year). What did you want Tiago to do v. the Spurs?

DT ⌚️@Dame_Time1023

I swear Timberwolves fans don’t even like Chris Finch and the difference in coaching between the Blazers and Timberwolves is crazy 😭

I am going to enjoy watching Portland Fire basketball, methinks. Biggest thing that popped for me was how clean their spacing principles were, especially for this being their debut. Lot of flat spacing looks -- had someone in the dunker spot on roughly 34% of their PnRs; CHI led the W at 24.5% last year -- which gave their PnRs plenty of room to work with up top. On their empty side PnRs, I appreciated how often they had some sort of weakside screening happening. Just structurally sound stuff.

Been rather impressed with Tiago Splitter tactically and rotationally in these first 2 games

We could just give credit to Camara for limiting Booker’s ability to get into a consistent rhythm, and the Blazer’s team defense as a whole. Book has proven to be a high-end playoff producer. This is very reactionary

John Gambadoro@Gambo987

Ya this is not what they are paying for. He needs to be better. Advija had 25 in the second half last night - 14 in the fourth quarter. Book had 3 points in the fourth all on free throws. He also played 9:21 in the fourth. Your best players have to play great to win once you get to these games.

Good example of why strict rules are fragile. Sometimes help has to come from strong side. #NADA

BBALLBREAKDOWN@bballbreakdown

Good example of why your base defense should not be helping 1 pass away, especially off the corner, especially when it's a decent shooter there. There was already a help defender in front of ball on the block.

@ToreyJonesYT You can have issues w/ the final result, but the play design wasn’t for the three, it was for the stampede drive that Tiago runs a lot for Blake and Deni. But Scoot recognized that no one matched up with Blake and hit him early. Bigger issue is lack of offensive talent, not Tiago

Mike McDaniel breaking down lessons learned back in Washington + offensive game planning in SF. [Exclusive] We found lost tapes of McDaniel and Chris Foerster, two of the best offensive minds in football, walking through how the weekly game plan actually comes together, the reasoning behind every concept, every protection, every adjustment. Mike, one of the most sought-after coaching candidates, explains his philosophy: have your reasons, explain the whys to your players, get buy-in, then build something together that gives the other team the illusion of complexity. Enjoy this small peek inside a room full of football genius.

Blazers miss threes: "Can't defend. Poor effort. Bad contracts. Tiago Splitter isn't a head coach" Blazers make threes: "Top-6 seed. Look at the hustle. Incredible ball movement. No one wants to see Portland in the playoffs"
