Verso Gara 1 delle NBA Finals, THREAD con qualche spunto tattico dalle due gare di RS tra Denver Nuggets e Miami Heat ⬇️
(NB: sono gare di RS, perciò rotazioni, rilevanza, personale e minutaggi differenti, importante cogliere i concetti)
#NBAPlayoffs #otnba Image
Ranking di squadra nei Playoff
Efficienza offensiva a metà campo:
-Denver Nuggets: 105.6 PTI/100 POSS
-Miami Heat: 99.9 PTI/100 POSS
Efficienza difensiva a metà campo:
-Denver Nuggets: 98.8 PTI/100 POSS
-Miami Heat: 94.3 PTI/100 POSS
1. Difesa a zona dei Miami Heat
La fonte di tiri (è stato anche per i Celtics in certi possessi) può essere nei pressi della lunetta. I Nuggets potrebbero posizionare Jokic e fare affidamento su visione e doti da passatore. Spoelstra potrebbe così variare dalla 2-3

"I don't know how we are going to get this done, but we are going to go up there and get it done."
Parole di Erik Spoelstra dopo la sconfitta in Gara 6.
Lungo THREAD, analisi attacco e difesa, una lente di ingrandimento sulla vittoria dei Miami Heat ⬇️

- Ricercare i matchup difensivi e attaccare con costante aggressività
Con Williams III, i Celtics hanno accettato cambi su PnR, stressato più volte da Butler dal palleggio in empty-corner
Clip 1: punito tag con drive-and-kick
Clip 2: punito nail help ("stretch the floor")
Con Horford, viene invece attaccato il drop coverage da singolo o doppio PnR (clip 3). Questa scelta dei Celtics è accettabile se si intende evitare di scatenare le rotazioni difensive, lo shot making di Miami ha prodotto punti per possesso direttamente dal palleggiatore

Il fattore Aaron Gordon nella vittoria dei Denver Nuggets, con l'accorgimento di renderlo più attivo e presente offensivamente in vari modi, in quanto spesso lasciato senza matchup difensivo.

Breve THREAD ⬇️
#NBAPlayoffs #otnba Image
1. Bloccante lontano dalla palla
Quando Davis si stacca per aiutare vs Jokic nel pitturato, sfruttare il vantaggio numerico a favore dei tiratori pronti a mettersi in visione con blocchi di contenimento (clip 1-2) e pin-in in angolo (clip 3)
2. Bloccante su palla
Forzare la difesa a marcare Gordon e dinamicità e footwork per giocare PnR con Jokic, in grado di attirare due giocatori creando vantaggio
Clip 1: Jokic anticipa un leggero scivolamento di Reaves
Clip 2: LeBron costretto a tag lasciando MPJ in angolo

Lungo THREAD da Gara 1 WCF tra Denver Nuggets e Los Angeles Lakers. Spunti tattici con video e dati anche con un occhio al possibile sviluppo della serie ⬇️
#NBAPlayoffs #otnba Image
I Nuggets vogliono proteggere pitturato (LAL 2° in PITP) - Ice coverage in PnR laterali, nail help vs penetrazioni centrali, e low man preventivamente dentro su roll di AD.
Clip 2: counter long midrange (da seguire aggressività di AD dal palleggio)
Clip 3-4: far pagare closeout
Stesso discorso per LAL (DEN 1° in PITP), diversa applicazione. Contro tagli back door o attorno Jokic in punta/al gomito, low man da lato debole a confine del pitturato (visto anche vs GSW).
Difficoltà ulteriore vs Nuggets, se rompi il primo gioco, Jokic si crea il tiro da sé

Con un giorno di ritardo, THREAD su Gara 7 tra Celtics e Sixers con situazioni tattiche emerse e alcuni dati a supporto. Focus particolare sulla difesa di Boston (107.9 PTI/100 POSS alle semifinali di Conference, miglior dato tra le 8 squadre) ⬇️
#NBAPlayoffs #otnba Image
1. Prima di tutto: l'esplosione offensiva di Tatum.
Di seguito 9 clip riguardanti le varie difese che ha affrontato dai Sixers in single coverage o PnR.
-Drop
-Drop + late switch
-Switch
-Switch in Spain PnR
-Switch + double
-Trap
-Zone
-vs Harris
-vs Melton
2. Difesa vs penetrazioni di Harden
Aspetti chiave con la 2-big lineup dei Celtics:
Horford segue fino al pitturato, torna su Embiid (toglie pop/short roll) e lo indirizza verso stunt da lato forte, recupero difensore primario e Williams III da lato debole a protezione del ferro

VOCÊ SABE A HISTÓRIA POR TRÁS DO "WHITE HOT"?

Hoje eu irei explicar os motivos que toda a identidade visual do Miami Heat muda para branco durante os playoffs.

Segue o fio: Image
Durante os playoffs da NBA é bastante comum você ver as arquibancadas completamente compostas por uma cor. Como é o caso do GSW, no qual a sua torcida vai toda de amarelo, formando um mar amarelo na arquibancada. Image
Porém, nem sempre foi assim. Esse tipo de "ritual" é algo bem recente, e quem ajudou a popularizar - pasmem - foi o Miami Heat.

Nos Playoffs de 2004, Miami laçou a campanha "Back in Black", que incentivava os torcedores a irem vestidos de preto para a American Airlines Arena.

Σήμερα τα ξημερώματα παρακολουθήσαμε ένα από τα πιο "ΝΒΑ Play-off Basketball" παιχνίδια και πάμε να δούμε μερικούς ΚΑΝΟΝΕΣ παρακολούθησης του ΝΒΑ για όσους δεν είναι συνηθισμένοι σε αυτό με φάσεις ΜΟΝΟ από την 4η περίοδο.

This should be a fun thread👇

Συχνά διαβάζουμε "Μα γιατί δεν κάνουν double team";Πρέπει να το καταλάβουμε όλοι μας.Σε αυτό το επίπεδο απαγορεύεται το double team, είναι αυτοκτονική επιλογή.Οι προπονητες το κάνουν, μόνο και μόνο για να μετανιώσουν λίγο μετά. Εδώ, οι Nuggets (πολύ λογικά ντουμπλαρουν τον KD) 1/
Με το 87% των καλύτερων σουτέρ όλων των εποχών (βάσει ποσοστών) να παίζουν αυτή τη στιγμή στη λίγκα, μπορούμε ανά πάσα στιγμή να δούμε ένα παίκτη να παίρνει φωτιά. Χθες, ο Shamet αφέθηκε ελεύθερος, σουτάρε 5/8 τρίποντα με 19 πόντους. Υπάρχει περιθώριο για κάτι τέτοιο; 2/

🧵En el hilo de hoy, vamos a tratar de ver como Los Lakers trataron de defender al extraterreste Curry, y como los Warriors se adaptaron a esta defensa para anotar puntos fáciles

#NBA #NBAPlayoffs @NBAspain Image
Para poner un poco en contexto la actuación de Curry de esta noche, el 30 de los Warriors ha repartido 12, asistencias que es su récord de la temporada, y a tan solo 3 del récord de su carrera. Es decir, sabía que hoy no era el día de anotar el y ha alimentado a sus compañeros
Los Warriors eliminan a Looney de la fórmula, y juegan con Dray como bloqueador para sacar a AD de la zona. Curry juega el Pick & Roll, y ve como AD ha salido al triple a defenderle, por lo que da un pase en el short roll de Green, para que este finalice sin problemas

Though he may claim “Playoff Jimmy” isn’t a thing, there is plenty of evidence that a different side of Jimmy Butler comes out during the #NBAPlayoffs, especially in last night’s dominant performance in a win over the Bucks. Eight stats that prove Playoff Jimmy is real, a 🧵: Image
1. Butler has scored 40+ points in 7 of his 101 playoff games, which trails only Michael Jordan, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Wilt Chamberlain, and Hakeem Olajuwon for the highest percentage (6.9%) of playoff games scoring 40+, min. 100 games played. ImageImageImage
2. Seven of Butler's 15 career 40+ point games occurred in the playoffs. The only player with 5 or more 40+ point games (reg. and postseason combined) to have a higher percentage of them occur in the playoffs is Jamal Murray, another player famed for his postseason heroics. ImageImage

Decisioni difensive, situazioni da make-or-miss shots e affidamento su scelte individuali o collaborazioni in entrambe le metà campo.
Un THREAD su 14 possessi negli ultimi 5 minuti di gara tra Miami Heat e Milwaukee Bucks, valsi il 3-1 nella serie ⬇️
#NBAPlayoffs #otnba Image
Interessante set dei Bucks che usano un Decoy Double PnR contro la difesa aggressiva di Miami.
Lo slip screen di Holiday forza Robinson a scivolare per fare tag, concedendo una linea di passaggio per giocatore in angolo. Tiro di qualità non convertito
I Bucks hanno cercato di mantenere più possibile il matchup Holiday-Butler. Qui (late clock situation), il cambio è forzato. Scelta sorprendente che ogni giocatore rimanga pressoché statico sul proprio attaccante, sacrificando aiuti nei pressi del ferro contro l'1vs1 di Butler

La collaborazione offensiva e difensiva dei Lakers si fonda su chiari principi nella sfida con i Memphis Grizzlies. Attorno alla centralità di Anthony Davis.
Di seguito un lungo THREAD di analisi video e qualche rilevante dato dalla vittoria in Gara 3 ⬇️
#NBAPlayoffs #otnba Image
1. Qualche dato di spicco
-Memphis da 5° dato per OPP PTS in the Paint (47.5) in RS al 16° nei PO (54.7)
-Lakers 18.7 Fastbreak PTS (1°), Memphis in RS 13.8 OPP FB PTS
-Memphis da 65.0% Rim FG% a 59.4% ai PO
-Memphis da 45.9 PTI da penetrazioni in RS (4°) a 19.0 ai PO (15°)
I Lakers intendono togliere le penetrazioni in fascia centrale da PnR con Drop/Weak/Ice coverage, inserendo un terzo uomo su possibile short roll (clip 1-2). Con affidamento a navigazione dei blocchi (clip 3), rim protection e aiuto e recupero alla linea del tiro libero (clip 4)

Dominar el bloqueo directo es vital en #NBAPlayoffs

Los espacios se controlan mejor, todo está más organizado y hay más opciones de llegar a la pintura

Y el éxito de los Knicks depende en gran medida de cómo logren realizar esto

Aquí es donde emerge Brunson Image

Pero claro, un bloqueo directo puede llegar a ser muy predecible tras tantos partidos

Por eso mismo Brunson ha decidido romper la defensa de los Cavs no jugando esa pantalla

Thanks for the inspiration, @WorldWideWob. We looked into Russell Westbrook’s historically unique game and it really was something to behold. Brace yourself for some deep Elias #NBAPlayoffs research – let’s dive in 🧵:
Our first question was “Who was the last player to go 3 of 19 from the floor in an NBA playoff game?”. And of course the answer is Westbrook, then a Wizard, in a 122-114 win over the Sixers on May 31, 2021. Russ logged a ridiculous 21 rebounds, 14 assists, and 2 steals that day.
Our next question was “Who has the most 3 of 19 games in NBA history? (actually since 1956, when FGA became a stat)” And again the answer is Westbrook with four. Fun fact: the first time Russ did so was November 12, 2008, just his 8th career game and his 20th birthday 🎂

Es cierto, Russell Westbrook tiró 3-19 en TC. También es cierto que Kawhi Leonard, con 38 puntos -incluyendo 25 en la segunda mitad- fue el MVP frente a Suns. Igualmente, tantas veces criticado, hoy desplegamos alfombra roja: sin Westbrook, los Clippers no ganaban. Abro hilo. Image
Sin Paul George, Westbrook fue energía, pero también cerebro. Las estadísticas dicen verdades, pero también ocultan cosas. Ayer Westbrook hizo un grandísimo partido pasando la pelota. De su traslado y asistencias sus compañeros lanzaron 8-13 de campo.
Siempre señalado por no proteger el balón, ayer perdió solo dos pelotas en 36 minutos. Fue pura intensidad, cargó al rebote ofensivo con una claridad conceptual brillante. De sus once rebotes, cinco fueron ofensivos y con relevancia en el desenlace final.

What an amazing #NBAPlayoffs series has it been. Crazy teams, crazy games & crazy results.

Right from round 1, teams have delivered their best & making every single game a memorable & competitive one.

To top, so many teams were being underdogs & rose up like anything - example, Memphis & Celtics were okish at start but flourished well towards the end.

Boston, were impressive in the east as they WASHED OUT the title favs #Brooklyn

+ they wiped off the 2021 champs, the Bucks & made their way onto the #NBAFinals like a real team, stacking some real tough cookies to crack.

Celtics were almost title favs, until the OG, dynastic GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS started to

How have #ados Blacks allowed mythology about effort & opportunity to be sold during an era where in the U.S. they largely live locked out? In 2016 America was the most unequal place in history & white American families had ard $80 trillion. In 2022 white wealth is $125 trillion.
Economist Thomas Piketty, the author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century, in 2016 observed that the level of inequality in the United States — for those who work for a living — “was probably higher than in any other society, at any time in the past, anywhere in the world.”
America is a place where white capital creates Black aberrations primarily through the #decadentveil #nbaplayoffs to project equity in the middle of inequality like never seen. And people then ask #ados to provide reparative & transformative politics while joining in the party.

Phoenix JUST missed the #NBAPlayoffs last year ... but the buzz was real. And a foundation was being built around a rising-star young core.
