Strategy thread (Xs and Os)

[Scallop Industry Thug]

There really isn't a thread to discuss this exclusively.

Are any of your teams using particular schemes? Particular plays they like to run? How does your team hide their weak defenders?

As resources, BBall Breakdown is good, so is Coach Daniel. Mike Prada outs out some good stuff.

I'll kick it off with switching. I know that the modern archetype us to have 5 6'5 guys who can defend everyone and switch everything. But I am genuinely surprised how often Golden State are willing to switch when playing Lebron. The Cavs always use guard screens to get Curry guarding Lebron. Boston were willing to let Rozier switch on to Lebron a lot aswell. Bad shit happens when a 6'2 dude guards Lebron.

Wouldn't you double or at least hedge on those screens more? I'd be much more comfortable with George Hill or JR getting the pass and trying to create.

Probably should have just asked this question in the Celtics thread

Give yourself a warning good sir for that.

OP effort to response ratio is poor.

I’ve just seen this.

Not sure what scheme Phoenix runs but it’s not good.

Didn’t think LBJ took advantage enough of being guarded by Curry in Game 3

Curry has a pretty sick record when guarding guys he shouldn't be able too. He then has less success when he's guarding guys he should be able to (his size).
