Announcement: I have started a Youtube channel called 'Xs and Joe's Basketball'. My first video is live, on the Utah Jazz' brilliant offensive scheme and Lauri Markkanen's All-Star level play within the scheme. piped.video/watch?v=OUtyuQNN…

Mike Macdonald & Seattle D in last 2 games vs 2 GOAT offensive masterminds:
Sean Payton: fewest yds/play (2.9) in HC career (319 games)
Andy Reid: Only game of HC career (488 games) with 0 explosive plays (10-yd run or 20-yd rec)

Portland's offensive design was just a lot better last night, but Phoenix's POA defense was really rough too. Portland did a lot of clearing out empty sides and messing with tag responsibilities which the Wolves also did with Nori, who was integral in designing their schemes.

Thought Donovan Clingan looked good at the elbow in yesterdays game. Portland's better spacing and skill seemed to benefit him. Obviously, the ceiling of this will hinge on how often he can score from inside. Suns aggressive gameplan benefitted him/Portland a lot.

More Tyrin Jones hype.
DMX Model All-Americans
@thebigwafe's model has predicted the meteoric rise of Yaxel Lendeborg, Tyler Tanner, Jaime Jaquez, and many other notable draft picks in past years.
Who are the best draft prospects not currently on consensus boards?

Really nice catch prep from Brayden Burries on this attempt. Looks as if he's going to stampede the catch then rejects it and hits a sidestep 3. He's looked so fluid thus far.

my favorite actions from every team on opening day
Pistons: Away 45 Curl
Sixers: Flat Triangle Double Cross Screen
Spurs: Horns Iverson Cut -> Spread PNR -> Pin-In/Exit
Thunder: Pistol Rip
Celtics: Wide Flare
Knicks: Delay 45

Jazz offense was really rough that half. Ran some flare screens early and had 1 or 2 spain plays with Lauri as the backscreener but there was very little second action. A lot of really bad possessions where Keyonte or Lauri had to put something up.

Feel like a lot of the Fangio disciples end up just not being very good. Hurtt in Seattle, Donatell in Minnesota, Barry in Green Bay etc.
Teams are now converting 50% of 3rd and 9+ attempts against the Cowboys this season.
League average is 21.8%

No tweet has affected my evaluation paradigms as much as this. So I wrote an article about:
1. My definition of cognition
2. Linking “OAS” theory to cognition
3. Why the cognition found in OAS drives outlier development
The debut of my R&D blog, Neural Nets, is live. Link ⬇️
the most important precocious skill integration is oreb-assist-stocks
this is the ultimate functional athleticism x feel proxy, a synthesis of skills that exponentially raises ceiling beyond perception of raw box stats/bpm
lots and lots of instructive developmental stories here

The college basketball season is only a few weeks away so here's my 2027 preseason board! With this being such a wide open class I'm expecting a healthy amount of early season movement, but for now feel free to ask any and all questions about prospects' placements!

Really good contact balance on this drive from Brayden Burries. In my Draft write up I wrote about how Arizona's offensive rebound focus robbed him of mid to late shot clock driving lanes, and mentioned how I felt his mix of Strength and Agility was his best path in half court O

I will be honest, this kind of usage was my main sell for Sergio de Larrea. Feel he got a bit miscast as a point. Think he will rebound, hit 3s and then that's when the connective passing will shine. Think he's gonna be good.
