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

Intrigued by the drives from Collin Sexton, good drive and kick to Kon Knueppel for 3.

Jaren Jackson Jr is back for Memphis and they have him involved right away. Movement into a backpick and a post up. Gets it as a trailer and attacks right away.

Shaedon Sharpe off ball curling and finishing. I'm intrigued.

I am enjoying the Blazers throwing small lineups on the floor.

Hey look Zion Williamson got to his spot, stepped back and shot the ball.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 22h

more of an automatic his cut is to let the wing fill his spot to clear room for a drive in theory.

I am enjoying the Denver Nuggets playing zone.

Yeah, Kevin Durant is still Kevin Durant

Zion Williamson's weakside defense can bring some questions but sometimes he's just sudden and jumps into plays.

Oh yeah Houston can just throw it into Kevin Durant in the post and let him go to work.

I like Houston going with high P&R for Amen Thompson. Good way to get him downhill in space and counter unders. Adams goes with a flat step-up so Amen can attack either way. Nice finish.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 23h

The mindset from Jabari Smith Jr has been there in the preseason. Knocks down a corner 3. Sees Poole on him and dives to the post. Another post up where he drives and finishes.

The Thunder rolling out with Shai/Dort/Caruso/Wallace is another reminder that they can just roll out all sorts of combinations that can defend.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 23h

Like this from Ron Holland. Cuts from the wing to the opposite corner to clear space. Drives vs. Hunter and finishes.

Cleveland continues to work to get De'Andre Hunter the ball in different spots. Initiates here, high P&R with Allen. On the kick to Mitchell, watch the cutting from Cleveland. Merrill from the corner, Hunter fills the corner, open 3.

Steve Jones @stevejones20.bsky.social · 1d

Cleveland going with inverted P&R for Evan Mobley, use Sam Merrill as a screener. Two things to point out, both wings are clear to give Mobley space. Notice Merrill work to get his angle at the last second. Switch, drive and pass to Jarrett Allen.

PJ Washington initiating the offense, goes right into a dribble handoff with a trailing Anthony Davis who goes right to work.

Mindset has been there from Victor Wembanyama as far as working to seal. Barnes with an Elbow catch, Wemby sets a pindown and immediately looks to hit and catch in the paint. The more paint catches he can get the better.
