Three key areas of scheme and four players executing.

Don’t you love it when it’s hard to find things to criticize. That was such a a well-played game by both sides.

Lmao I’m the first 200 words in and look at the moving screen in the very first clip, seconds 11-12.
Dallin has to sell that better, but the refs screwed us on Udeh’s moving screens all night.

Also really loved that zone adjustment to do the weave up top. Counterintuitive as its not directly probing the structure of the zone, but really paid off.
My only quibble is it took way too long to implement or try something different. Our zone slump was probably 2-3 possessions too long.

Yeah, screening is so dicey these days from the Gortat screen to diving when a player is under you… refs are really only calling it in the more traditional sense of you not being set and someone running into you and getting crushed. The other stuff is mostly let go.

It was really impressive watching back how often those actions created basically a 3-on-2… they were playing with a really good understanding of what they were trying to do to manipulate it.

The other thing that screeners (especially when guards and wings are doing the screening) are apparently allowed to do nowadays is to shove the guy you are screening to get a little more space on the roll.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. I was wondering if there was a rules change that I wasn’t aware of as the two-hand shove on the screen is almost never called this season.
