Got any examples? I'm always looking for ways to improve my tactical suggestions based on their failing or not (or the opposite of them failing or not)....

[DanH]

The resurgence of Norman Powell against the Bucks of all teams is just delightful. He's been so awful this playoffs, and been so much better the last...

[DanH]

Go Joey go!

[DanH]

I've seen this suggestion a bunch of places. In game 1, Ibaka was a disaster in every lineup he was in, heavy in starters or not, at C or PF, going up...

[DanH]

Lorenzo Brown would be dramatically worse than FVV. Wright would sure look good. Would have been nice if Lin was a good player still, but sadly that's...

[DanH]

Fred's on-offs have been awful, mostly because he can't hit shots.

Of course, he hasn't been as big an issue as other bench players, but...

[DanH]

Ibaka had a -52 on-court net rating. How do you not play Gasol a lot when Ibaka is completely useless outside of a couple decent contests at the rim?...

[DanH]

If literally anybody else shows up (even Kawhi was pretty bad in terms of efficiency) they win the game. One man show last night....

[DanH]

Gotta hit some shots. Man alive. I mean, still better him than Powell (who is a disaster zone even when on fire like in this game) but man alive. Using...

[DanH]

See my issue is the 4 shots he took that weren't threes. He's not a roll man. Can't be hitting him on the move in the midrange like they were in this...

[DanH]

Yeah, it’s not like the Raptors have a 112 ORTG with Lowry on the court in the playoffs... Damn Lowry, tanking the offence to an 89 ORTG when he sits,...

[DanH]

Just out of curiosity, is your stance that the team being dramatically better in the playoffs with Lowry than without for every year they have been in...

[DanH]

Guys, the Raptors have a +15 net rating with Lowry on the court in these playoffs (highest on the team). They have a -17 net rating while Lowry sits (lowest...

[DanH]

Giannis is actually a poor post up player (relative to the rest of his game) - he managed under 1 PPP on 3 post ups a game in the regular season. He hasn't...

[DanH]

Guys come on. Lowry is better than Middleton and Bledsoe.

It's probably:

Giannis
Kawhi
Lowry
Siakam
...

[DanH]

Them going so big is interesting for sure. I think you pull Kawhi onto Giannis for this lineup, have Siakam take Mirotic, switch freely on those actions....

[DanH]

Yeah, exactly, your scenario is a complete hypothetical. It would be different if you were saying "we have seen this play out, here is an example...

[DanH]

I think that statement that most big players are not as fast as Giannis is absolutely true in general - but it's also true that two of the few guys both...

[DanH]

Trick is making that lineup work offensively. Started to cave late in game 7 as the 76ers realized they could double off Ibaka with impunity. Had to start...

[DanH]

Yeah, but your scenario you posted there has no basis in fact, you see. That's the problem. I can make up stuff that didn't happen, too. And yes, the...
