Mike De La Rosa looks at OKC’s unique and creative steps to take the pick-and-roll game into the future, from inverting screens, to changing angles, adding speed, and playing with the positioning of big men and guards.

yes please
Nice analysis Mike, keep it up, enjoyed ur delivery and the topic u chose, super interesting to listen and u provided perfect footage to get ur point across, go do more videos bro!!
Im not so sure OKC is doing anything others aren't.. Curry has been screening for others to get open for a long time.
Solid video but narration needs work
Love it from Mike
Great video, completely forgot it was a different host by the end. Well done.
More of this
Amazing breakdown. Would love more of this
Great analysis! Thanks for the content š
Itās always cool to see modern NBA offenses and how theyāve evolved from the common NBA offenses of the past. Makes me confused on why they say defense in todays era is non existent. Itās hard to guard these offenses in this era. Just have to pick your poison. Thanks for the breakdown.
Funny, this is my go to move playing point in 2K. Cool to see a team doing it irl
Love it Mike! Keep it coming
I like that Ben is letting other people shine. I've grown quite accustomed to Ben's breakdowns, but I liked this too. If you're ever on here again, tryst yourself. I can almost hear the nervousness in your voice. You got this homie. You did great š
where jokic effect starts
AG/Jamal and Jokic have been doing this before OKC
I like it
This was super insightful. Loved it and hope for more
Nba starts tomorrow!!!
This Thunder team is gonna be a menace. So much ball handling and size. Them and the Timberwolves are probably my favorite young teams.
Great work Mike!!
I remember when the Rockets started doing this for James, was very effectiveā¼ļø
Mike did a great job, thanks for the video. This is my favorite basketball channel to watch too. Looking forward to more videos.
You and Clayton Crowley should team up for a super NBA channel. Yāall have the best quality of videos along with Heat Check
Great stuff
im interested
That was awesome
Great video as always! Good to see more people of the team doing the videos, gives me hope that we gonna have more content, Win win!
Amazing video keep them coming please
Thanks Mike!
I am so, so excited to watch this offense this year. The addition of Chet is like the cherry on a sublime dessert cake
These types of channels should be the ones talking about basketball unlike clowns like LOW, Rusty and Solz.
Really nice video. Good pace and quality šš
Great breakdown
