Credit and attention can be given to anybody for anything; success and respect are only earned through hard work.

That was not the most fun end of game for Thomas Bryant.

I have enjoyed the quick decisions and drives from Julius Randle in this one.

Like this from Anthony Edwards and Minnesota. Pacers switch this screen but notice the spacing, both wings clear to give space. Attacks the paint, nice heistation and kick to Reid for 3.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 20h

Nice backdoor cut from Anthony Edwards here. Fakes off the screen from Gobert and is gone. Intrigued if they can get more of him off ball.

Keeping an eye on Lonzo Ball's defense for the Cavs. Screen navigation into a switch into help on a potential drive. Intrigued.

Cavaliers pushing the pace is not new but Evan Mobley very comfortable taking this dribble handoff and going right to a three pointer.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 21h

Jaylon Tyson shows early help, holds early help, gets a steal and gets it Mitchell in transition.

Nice cut from Brandon Ingram here.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 1d

Little thing from Cam Johnson but it has value. Jamal Murray bringing it up, high P&R with Nikola Jokic but watching Johnson. Dives from left wing which takes away early help. Low man commits when Jokic catches, quick pass to Braun for 3.

Cam Johnson working in pick and roll with Nikola Jokic here. Notice he goes drive and kick but look at the immediate relocate to the three point line to get a shot.

Amen Thompson in two man game here. Defense going under the screen. I like the Rockets countering with pass and catch for Thompson. Defense goes under, takes the space and hits first and finishes.

Dallas going right into inverted P&R with D'Angleo Russell screening for Anthony Davis. No switch, opens Russell up for a 3 on the pop. Intrigued.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 1d

Keeping an eye on the flow from Dallas on offense. Anthony Davis screens for D'Angelo Russell and gets an Elbow catch. Flagg cuts from the corner to clear the side, Russell dives from the wing. Cooper Flagg drives a closeout and kicks, ends in an AD three.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 1d

Keeping an eye on little things from the Rockets defense. Sengun on Daniels but mixing in switching. Sengun at the level and it turns into a trap. Second clip notice how Jabari helps once Sengun gets driven by.

Yeah, Amen Thompson is going to be fun to watch this year.

So for Miami it's going to take defense, drives and a lot of Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins. Got it.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 1d

Clear the Miami Heat want to up their tempo. Keeping an eye on throw aheads in transition. Intrigued with Jovic bringing it up and throwing ahead to Bam Adebayo.

This does not apply to Jarred Vanderbilt who has understood the assignment.

My Lakers preseason take right now is I need a few of these guys to understand rotation minutes are on the table right now. You can play your way in or play like you're in.

Great ball movement from the Warriors.

Three early plays to show how Al Horford can impact the Warriors defense
-High P&R looks like he's at the level, turns into a trap and steal.
-High P&R, at the level, drops back and contains, defense recovers
-Draymond in 1v1, Horford roaming in help to get a block.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 2d

The Warriors having Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Al Horford playing defense at the same time should be fun. One of them in action, the others on the weakside.

Warriors are flowing into random inverted P&R with Stephen Curry screening for Draymond Green. Noted.
