The segment above also takes an extra step to explain to a lot of people who wonder about open corner 3s in PnR situations. It puts a LOT of pressure on the low man to make a choice: tagging/sinking in to take the roller or stay home on the weak-side corner shooter. It truly is

This was an excellent explainer on a league-wide action that touched on concepts such as roll gravity, tagging, and up-to-touch/level-of-the-screen coverage. "Angle" has been a play call the Warriors have used to call out their angle/spread PnR set.

I'm gonna say this out of fairness: a lot of people asked questions of JK last season with good reason. Safe to say that so far he's taken the steps to address the past criticisms levied at him. I think it's fair to ask that question of Podz. So far, the improvement expected out

Again, this is a problem. Too easy for the Blazers to turn the corner at the point of the (supposed) switch. Needs to be cleaned up.

Unacceptable blown coverage at the POA. These blowby's have been wild to see all night long.

ATO going nowhere is saved by JK's offensive rebound and assist to Steph for the 4-pt. play

Biggest elephant in the room so far this the season for the Dubs: transition defense, or lack thereof.

Warriors at the half @ POR ORTG: 103.7 DRTG: 125.5 Dubs coughing up possessions and overall just wasting them, coupled with the Blazers having a hot shooting night. Also, they are continuing to get next to nothing from their SG rotation (Podz, Buddy, etc.)

That Draymond post-up was awful but I'd argue it was equally awful that Steph and Jimmy were fine just watching it happen like a car crash in slow motion.

There's no reason to play fast *every* possession especially when you're on the back end of a B2B. Slow things down and make sure to get a good shot.
