This dunk almost looks mediocre, but you can't quite tell how high Zion jumps.

These are the kind of details Casey regularly missed.Last edited by JimiCliff; Thu Nov 15, 2018, 10:18 AM."Stop eating your sushi."

Defensive subs and communication was poor on game winning basket for the Pistons. Let the bench unit bleed away a big lead without doing anything about it for way too long, then didn't fix anything bringing the starters back because of the aforementioned isolation offence down the stretch.

He was open, had separation from Siakam. The pass was late and too lofty, allowing Siakam enough time to get back into the play.

It was 3 Q's of really far better Kawhi usage than we've seen for most of this season (mostly because Kawhi has played a lot more with Serge at C than JV, so most of the time there's no one to get him that space with a good screen anyway). And then the 4th Q where they suddenly stopped for some reason. By my recollection they ran a screen play with Kawhi and JV twice in the 4th, and scored twice. That's just my fuzzy recollection though, I need to re-watch. In any case, they had a play that worked to get Kawhi and the offence in general into an advantageous position and they abandoned it for isolation basketball that barely works with Serge spacing the floor, let alone sitting JV in the lane doing nothing.

EDIT: Look how open he was

LJ2 wrote: View PostI think some of the things you mentioned can get cleaned up ie. subbing in/out players, communications etc. But the heavy isolation plays for Kawhi seem to be part of the Nurse philosophy and I'm not sure he abandons that so quickly.
Nurse may not abandon it quickly (it's almost necessary when Kawhi plays so many minutes with Serge at C, so has no reliable source of good screens), but he definitely should (at least when JV is in the game).
