What the Analytics DON'T GET About Chris Paul and the MIDRANGE
Chris Paul's continued MIDRANGE MASTERY in the playoffs has left the analytics dudes scrambling to their usual tropes. No one says Chris Paul shouldn't take ...
Wait... Bucks Won BECAUSE OF THIS?!?!
Look at this defense on the pick and roll. Lopez stops the penetration and Holiday is quick to get out of that screen. Great activity by both players, and once it gets to a 1 on 1, Jrue is absolutely attached to Kyrie, forcing a contested jumper and a bad miss. And watching this whole possession you’ll understand why this game ended with the score in the low 80s. Look at the multiple deflections, the aggressiveness, and ultimately the block, to force a 24 second violation as the crowd goes crazy. The game ended that way as well. Scramble situation, great double team on Irving, and they made Bruce Brown beat them which if you’re the Bucks, that’s exactly what you want, as this wild shot hits nothing but the backboard. Milwaukee somehow survived, but it definitely wasn’t pretty, and if you ask me I’m afraid that it’s hard to sustain as well. Let me go through some clips and explain exactly what I mean. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. Starting off with what I loved from the game. There were multiple instances of suffocating defense, and part of the reason why KD and Kyrie shot 39 and 41% respectively is exactly that. Brook Lopez had 6 blocks in this game, and the perimeter defenders did a good job of pressuring and funneling guys towards him, so as you can see this sequence here, Irving has Holiday on him the whole time, so he’s not really able to see Brook coming to help. And as he flips it up, Lopez is there for the block. And as always I gotta give credit to PJ Tucker for fighting hard against possibly the greatest pure scorer the NBA has seen. Stays with him right here the whole time, goes up to contest and you see the result. But this is also where we get to a grey area in the game. Check out this drive for example, where we can clearly see the bump by Tucker. Last night this was a miss and play on, but we saw these being called in Brooklyn so PJ was constantly in foul trouble. This subtle bump right here by Jrue as well. Disrupts the rhythm of Irving, and even tho overall I loved this defense both from Holiday as well as Lopez, I’m afraid that they could be called on the Nets home court. But I never wanna comment on officiating so let’s move on. Instead, check out some of the missed shots by Brooklyn. A lot of these as you can see are wide open looks, that they usually are able to knock down. Especially when we talk about one of the best shooters in the league Joe Harris. Like, look at these. The Bucks really dodged a bullet in this game, as I really don’t see Joe going 1-11 on shots like these again in the series. Culminating with this last one with under a minute to go. He’ll never be more open than this. Wow. Anyway, a good thing for Milwaukee is the fact that Chris Middleton finally made his presence felt. After the abysmal shooting of 6 for 23 and 7 for 20 in the first 2 games, he exploded for 35 points on 48% shooting. On this pick and roll with Giannis, Brooklyn wasn’t switching, to keep the primary big on Antetokounmpo. So with the defender trailing him, Khris just raises up and hits the midrange shot. Again in the 4th, Blake gives him cushion, to defend the roll, and Middleton uses that to swish a clutch shot with the game on the line. And you know you have it going when you raise up above the long arms of KD and knock down a three in his face, and especially in transition, on a semi fast break, stopping on a dime and shooting a heat check to send a crowd into a frenzy. And the greek freak...maaan I could make a dedicated 1 hour video solely about the blessing and the curse of having him on the team. I’ll just explain that in under a minute. You have moments like these in transition where he looks unstoppable. Dunking all over the defense while guys just bounce off of him. But then in the half court, look at this absolutely mind boggling sequence of him just dribbling around going back and forth and back and forth which ultimately ends up with a jump ball. As you watch some of these bad looking possessions I’m not going to overcomplicate things and say that Giannis is at his best when he’s used as a screener, so if Im Budenholzer that’s what I'm doing. Either run a pick and roll with him and Middleton or him and Holiday, and make things happen from there. As for right now, as a neutral NBA fan, and one that’s always against superteams, I’m just happy that this series is getting longer. That’s all I need to enjoy at this moment. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

During the Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks game 2 Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup, Kevin Durant (KD) put on a nasty sequence vs Giannis - a triple hesi hop double cross into an and-1 midrange jumper. The play highlights key skills, details, and biomechanics of KD’s game that any hooper can learn from. Lets take a closer look. The sequence starts with KD mini-hopping off his left leg - the same hand as the dribble - into a hesitation (hesi) and then left to right dribble crossover. He goes into another hop hesi here and this angle is much cleaner so lets break this one down. The hesi-hop setup does four key things: 1 - It generates a rhythm that optimizes the rest of KD’s movements. In movement science speak, it “primes the system” 2 - Creates deception because KD sets up the same way each time which limits the tells so the defender is guessing and/or reacting, as Giannis is here - a step behind. The hesi is the trunk KD”s movement tree and everything else branches off of it. 3 - It gives KD more time to read the defender’s reaction, process, and then proceed accordingly. Information is power. Here KD sees that Giannis is trying to catchup after the first cross so double crosses back over - dropping his hips to lower his center of gravity which results in better balance and change of direction and coming onto the inside of his left ankle to more completely deload that leg. 4 - Now we’re at the final sequence and fourth and final key - biomechanical advantages. KD hops off the same hand as his dribble because it allows him to use the other leg to push-off downhill, staying up on his forefoot with the downward force from the hop pre-tensioning the achilles and calf complex to generate a powerful forward thrust - aka the stretch-shorten cycle or SSC - that quickly shifts weight to his lead left leg. His left knee extensors - mainly the quads - and calf complex are now loaded to generate a powerful stretch shorten cycle and he’s up on his right forefoot (hard to see here) to again tension the achilles and calf complex. He quickly springs upwards having created enough space to get a clean look and it’s cash from there. That’s a bad man.
Luka Doncic Is INJURED & This Changes EVERYTHING!
If you didn’t watch the game, you may not know that Luka was struggling with a neck injury throughout the entire game. Visibly wincing and being in pain, his production was clearly being impacted. And even tho I’m not saying that this is the only reason for their loss in game 4, it could change everything for the rest of the series. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. Doncic ended the game with 19 points on 9 for 24 shooting. And after being unstoppable for the first 3 games, you know that something was wrong here. Luka didn’t want to make excuses postgame and focused on the loss instead. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that the injury is making things much harder for him on the court, as if the Clippers aren’t enough. And speaking of them, lost in this whole thing is the performance of the 2 LA superstars. Kawhi is having an unbelievable series with 33 points and 8.5 rebounds. All of that while shooting a blistering 63% from the field. That’s virtually unstoppable. As you can see he loves the right side of the floor, of course owning the midrange. The Klaw has been torturing the Mavs with his backdown turnaround jumpers, regardless of who the defender is. Right here on the wing, he gets a switch away from Kleber who’s Dallas’ best big defender and you can see the entire team is clearing out on the left side, leaving Luka on an island with Kawhi. He attacks, the half spin, the leaning shot and the bucket. Again, with the slower Boban in the game, on the pick and roll, Leonard has all this space to just raise up and shoot from his favorite spot on the court. He does that and easily knocks it in. But he’s even deadlier every time he decides to put his head down and go all the way to the basket. There is nobody on the Dallas roster who’s been able to consistently stop him in his intention to attack the rim. Even with Kleber on him here, the Clippers isolate him again, and you see the determination to go all the way and look at the strength here as he bumps Maxi to the side for a layup. That was too strong, and this is too quick on the perimeter, as you can see the double screen setup up top for him to curl. But instead the Klaw flies by with the crossover and there’s no way Kleber can catch him as we check out this 2 handed dunk. But I have to point out Paul George deserves just as much credit honestly. Think about it: If the Mavs won game 3 and went up 3-0 everybody would disregard the fact that they hit 20 threes on a mind boggling 51%. Instead, people would take the low hanging fruit and instantly blame Pandemic P for it right?! Thing is, Pandemic P is an automatic 25 point per game scorer on 50% from the field so far in these 4 games. And almost 8 rebounds to go along with that. Sure, his 3 point shooting has been extremely bad so far but similarly to Leonard, there is no answer for PG when he goes inside. Luckily for him however, George doesn’t need to defend his good performance from the haters just yet, since the Clippers have tied the series all of a sudden, winning 2 on the road after losing the first 2 at home, and having the entire NBA world write them off. Talk about a wild series. Most importantly however, their sense of urgency and defensive intensity has been ramped up to playoff type level. After the initial 127 and 113 points that Dallas put up in games 1 and 2, they were only allowed 108 and only 81 last night. Although there were some wide open misses that the Mavs shooters should have knocked down and 5-30 from downtown wasn’t entirely because of the defense, the fact remains that games 3 and 4 the Clippers really had their backs against the wall and had to go all out on both ends of the court to get back in this thing. And they did that. Now with the Doncic injury, and going back home, the momentum seems to be entirely on the LA side. This matchup has proved to be wild however and I’m looking forward to a pivotal game 5 in Staples. Let’s see what happens. Let me know in the comments who you got in the next one. That’s it for now.

WHY the San Antonio Spurs are a DANGEROUS 2021 Playoff Team! DON'T SLEEP ON THE SPURS!
Twitter: https://www.Twitter.com/SeanCostelloJr So last night one great game I got the chance to watch on NBA League Pass was the San Antonio Spurs playing the Celtics in Boston and Jayson Tatum put up an insane performance for Boston as he dropped 60 points and helped them grab the 143-140 victory in their home arena. However, even despite the Spurs now having lost 2 games in a row following last night’s game I think this team has actually played very well lately I’m not sure how well this video will do in terms of views and such or if anyone cares too much about the Spurs but I think it’s time to talk about why this Spurs team can actually cause some trouble in the 2021 Playoffs and why they’re such a dangerous matchup for whoever they face in the 2021 Play-In Tournament. the Spurs have now lost two straight games as they lost that extremely tight overtime game against the Celtics last night and two nights earlier on Wednesday they lost a another tough game against the Miami Heat as they lost by a score of 116-111. Even despite losing two straight tho the Spurs have now won 5 of their last 8 games and they played very well over this recent stretch as they beat the team that now holds the NBA’s best record, the Phoenix Suns and they also beat the extremely hot Washington Wizards as well over this recent stretch. This Spurs team was already a very solid defensive team for the 2020-21 Season, but now they’ve taken their game to another level and stepped things up as they are a top 10 team in many categories in terms of holding their opponents to the 10th least amount of a specific stat. The Spurs have also been a top 10 team in multiple different defensive categories including defensive rating, lowest amount of points scored off of turnovers and lowest amount of points scored off of fastbreaks as well. one of the other reasons I think this Spurs team isn’t a team that should be slept on really is the individual play from their young players. The Spurs have had 7 guys averaging double digit point totals for them this season if we don’t include LeMarcus Aldridge as he of course had to retire after his short time in Brooklyn this season, but another guy it’s important to mention is their young guard Derrick White as he may not return this season so that’s a huge blow for this Spurs team as he’s one of the key players in their young core. However, even without White, they've had 6 players average double digit scoring totals this season and scoring isn’t just the only important thing when it comes to a team playing well, especially with this Spurs team. DeMar Derozan is averaging career highs, Keldon Johnson and Patty Mills are offensively thriving and big man Jakob Poeltl is also on a tear. So today we’re going to talk about why this Spurs team is a dangerous 2021 Playoff team and why this team needs to be taken serious in the 2021 Play-In Tournament and the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
