If you really want to nerd out on the 2-for-1, start at the 4:00 mark of this Slappin’ Glass podcast and listen to Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch discuss 2-for-1 strategy for eight minutes.

And that’s why you have to go 2-for-1 when you get the ball with 40 seconds left in the game. If you don’t think the team can do it as a coach call a timeout and set up a play to ensure you get a shot up by the 30 second mark.

THREAD: Watch 20th overall pick Kasparas Jakucionis preseason debut.

Kasparas Jakucionis did not have a lob threat to play with at Illinois, although I thought it would be something he could excel at.

He has seven assists just to Ke'lel Ware tonight

8 points and 9 assists for the rookie Kasparas Jakucionis

Kasparas Jakucionis with five assists and zero turnovers in eleven minutes.

He puts this one where only Ware can get it.

Kasparas Jakucionis crossover drive left beats his man to get into the paint, protects the ball, then finds the cutting Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Kasparas Jakucionis making his NBA preseason debut with a steal and assist.

You'll notice he has his left wrist taped which was a little setback that caused him to missed a couple days of training camp and the Heat's first preseason game.

I use the Nord VPN app and NBA app on my Apple TV or I use Nord VPN on my MacBook with NBA League Pass on Google Chrome (have to clear cache)

Fanduel TV you can steam any of those local games for $20 a month.

Or Nord VPN is like $5 a month and you can use that with a NBA league pass subscription to watch. Just use the VPN to say you are in Seattle for example and then the game is no longer blacked out.

Controversy brewing in Minnesota.

Tic-Tac-Toe game. Make a layup, receive a X or O, run to center court and play your letter.

But does anyone notice anything suspicious here?

I use an app called Snagit by Techsmith to screen capture games on my MacBook to post on here. Been using it since 2017 and I like it for its ease of use, quickness, and how I can manually pick the region of my screen I want to capture so I can get zoomed in more mobile friendly videos for Bluesky
An example of what the Snagit Application looks like.

You have to clear cache and it will work on Google Chrome on a laptop.

On Apple TV, Nord VPN still works for the NBA app to bypass restrictions to watch blacked out games in your area.
hoopinformatics.bsky.social
$20 a month gets access to both games.

But I can tell it's preseason because I am rusty. A VPN still works on the NBA app. So on my Apple TV using the Nord VPN app I just changed my location to Denver so I can watch the Pacers - Wolves game on NBA League Pass

The worst part of St Louis having no NBA team is that BOTH Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers games are blacked out.

Both are four hours away from St Louis but I have to pay $20 a month to be able to watch.
