r/bostonceltics users in post game threads after a loss, you claim that Joe can’t make adjustments and yet here I’ve found several… curious.
Jokes aside, hope you enjoyed this example of Al Horford supremacy. My next video was going to be about Porzingis and how he makes it so easy for us on offense, but earlier I was challenged by a user on here that “If you’re gonna put up ridiculous claims then back it up. Dude was a +31 over that stretch.” after I commented that Payton Pritchard was “terrible” at the start of the season because he: “held the ball too much, was very indecisive especially on his drives and was also shooting terribly”.
I am always willing to back up my claims with evidence, so in the next couple of days expect a video about Payton Pritchard, why he struggled to open the season and how he got back on track to being a good bench piece. With a side of why small sample size +/- is a noisy as all hell stat.

Good video, interesting you chose to cover a situation where the coaching staff is rifling thru the range of basic coverage adjustments, but the players are struggling against a very refined offensive talent in Trae. The coach can’t play for the players or somehow make Kornet shuffle his feet like he’s Draymond Green.
Horford is a really special defender on a good night; Trae Young also is the kind of offensive primary option that – locked in, healthy, playing with decent talent around him – should naturally scramble a defense. He gives a few of those points back at the other end, but he does stress test a perimeter defense, it’s a little bit like the defense is getting reps against a worse version of Steph.

Great video, thanks for making it!
I’m wondering if anybody knows anything about bigs hedging screens in the modern NBA. We pretty much never do it, but I used to hear that it was a good way to mix up the PnR defense. We get burned by guys shooting 3s over our drop coverage a lot, so I’m always wondering if that would be worth using every now and then. Maybe it’s just too hard for the big to recover.

Great analysis
