Jeremy Lin preaching the use of ATOs.
The best post this sub will see for a while.
In terms of explaining the game, sure, but I’m partial to that guy asking about colonoscopy prep vs going to the game and the subsequent “I’m watching the game but I bet that guy who was getting the colonoscopy is shitting his brains out right now” thread.
That actually was a woman who made that post
Sure it was
It actually was lol. That guy is right.
It’s a joke
What’s the joke? Cringelord.
I don’t understand are you saying I’m lying
It’s a joke homie.
The joke, as I interpreted it, is that woman on the internet are actually just dudes presenting as females. This was a very common joke in 00’s.
Could be a woman or gay guy. Dunno. That OP just mentioned their husband
She mentioned in the follow up thread that she was a woman.
Ahh ok. Was that the one that got removed? Wish I could have seen that one
context please.
How much more context could you possibly want?
maybe the sauce?
Here.
The second thread I mentioned was deleted because the mods are cowards.
Edit: looks like it got at least one comment in the game thread, at least
Best since his Luka rundown on amazon
Quality post, thanks for sharing it.
But is this better than Stephen A Smith screaming into the screen pretending like he watches basketball?
I prefer Awful Coaching screaming about drop coverage.
HE’S SEVEN FOOT FOUR!!1 (breathing noises)
SWITCH. JUST SWITCH.
FLARE FLARE FLARE
SEEING BALL, SEEING MAN
STUNT AND RECOVER
GET IN THE GAPS
Does he even bother pretending anymore?
I need more Jeremy Lin basketball break down videos haha this was awesome
Jeremy Lin never puts any nonsense out. Dude is always incredibly insightful and interesting. He’s the type of person we need in basketball media
Imagine that Harvard level analysis showing up among Stephen A’s yelling and Perk’s drunk mumbling.
Actually NBA content
Go hard on em dudes, salute!
CONTEST WITHOUT FOULING
I read it as consent without foulling
FOULLING WITH CONSENT
the Kobe special
*FOULLING
Show ya hands
Lin’s analysis is always so interesting
Yep. It’s just too bad about his insanity or whatever.
Hope he gets the help he needs.
Thots and prayers
Don’t worry, it only lasts for a few games.
Kerr is the master at this
It’s that binder
The spurs had a massive play binder by the end of their run with Duncan.
When they got lamarcus, they had to trim down the play list a ton cuz he didn’t know them all.
Pop had to change his coaching style again due to that and all the new players. We never went back to the same level of execution as we had with that Duncan core.
Hopefully we get that back with wemby, Vassell, keldon, castle, Harper, and Bryant. But who knows.
IIRC it wasn’t just because of LMA, but because they realized that Kawhi isolations were so dominant that it was more efficient to just spam them.
You can still create those situations within an offense and have a bunch of plays to create them. We used to do that for Duncan all the time. The play was called 4 down and we would get him on the left block. There are all sorts of plays to create isolations. To think that there can’t be off ball movement or man movement in an iso is wild. You can def still do those things.

Why are you being so weird.
what did they say
If his ATOs are so good, why he miss the play-in? Lol overrated
Something weird enough to delete it. No need to say it again.
Can we get him back on TV please?
He talked too much ball knowledge to get rehired lol.
Haha not controversial enough for clicks fr
The only reason Perk has a job. He has the most out landish takes at times, but it’s great for debate and ratings.
If they want controversial, they have to keep Lin talk about Kobe as a person as a side dish.
Maybe have Steve Nash and Jeremy handle the podcast while Bron is in the playoffs.
Who the fuck cares about basketball?
Honestly, hope he gets picked up by the Prime Video crew.
He’s too smart to be on TV, an average person doesn’t wanna listen to an intellectual argument. They need a Steven A type of content, like browsing tiktok. It’s easily digestible, dumbed down and includes drama.
I feel slightly smarter after watching this
I know people are confused why the Blazers would be looking for other candidates when Splitter got us to where we’re at.
But when you dive into the advanced stats it makes sense. We’re the bottom of ATO’s points per possession and bottom of many other advanced metrics like unforced turnovers. Inbounding. Etc.
I think ultimately we should still give him another shot next year, but things like this go unseen to people who don’t watch a team all year. And things like ATO’s are very important.
Where do I look up stats like these?
Same question here.
As a Kings fan, lots of people have been super down on Doug Christie and basically say he’s just a nostalgia and/or penny-pinching hire by Vivek. I’m not saying that’s necessarily untrue, but one thing our broadcast mentioned many times later in the season is that apparently the Kings were near the top of the league in ATO efficiency? Really curious if that’s true and maybe Doug has some potential if he fixes some things like bizarre rotations and not really having called plays at any other times in the game lol
Yeah but your owner is trying to specifically pay less for a head coach. 1 mil per year.
Splitter has been amazing and could def get better. Y’all will run him off and not give him a chance to grow. He’s already a winning coach and he’s gonna be amazing somewhere else like Orlando or Milwaukee.
As Kev says on broadcast, “inbounding has been an adventure for this team”.
There’s no problem with looking for another coach; it’s that they should wait until the playoffs are over.
Let’s not forget that Splitter took over the role on short notice. He has earned that basic courtesy.
Just curious because I don’t follow anyone outside the spurs, how do you think y’all would have done with Billups?
See, conversely this is why I didnt like this post from Lin. “One of the many ways…” is such a throwaway line to preface the statement lol now we got fans acting like they’ll be able to identify good/bad coaches just off ATO’s.
He should know better than this; a majority of coaching is done behind the scenes so yeah while ATO’s are a visible thing for fan’s to identify, it’s still a very small piece of the pie.
Blazers have poor ATO stats and some unforced turnovers? Yeah blame the coach who got the gig after preparing the whole offseason as an assistant then got thrown into the fire because the HC got arrested for gambling. Surely there are no extraneous circumstances that could impact those small sample size numbers
Shoutout to Brady Stevens when he was still coaching, his ATOs are godlike like mannnn.
And I don’t understand why he doesn’t draw some up for mazzula, because he’s terrible at them.
Yeah I’ve wondered that before too… Joe is an amazing coach but the GM is one of the greatest ever at the one thing Mazzula isn’t good at…
Brad is doing a great freaking job with what he’s doing but he should just give Joe some tips
I feel like Brad does not micromanage
Idk is giving Joe a binder of ATOs micromanaging?
Lin crushed it with all this information.
Isn’t it ironic how Lin basically replaced Kobe’s details series? This is so good
Kobe rolling over in his grave
more like spinning
and burning
Jeremy is a great explainer.
Lin dropping knowledge
NBA needs to show content like this during game breaks
But what about parlays and picks?
Shout out to Luke Walton who in December 2016 started a streak of running the same 3 ATO’s for 3 weeks straight.
Also a serious shoutout to D’Antoni, who came up with new and unique ATO’s his entire tenure.
We love you Jeremy :)
That choice of Everything in its Right Place tune is too good
ESPN should hire Jeremy Lin
Nah Lin too good for espn. Get him on nbc
Or better yet, get a NBA team to hire him as an analyst. That Harvard brain gonna do a lot of work as well.
Nick Nurse is still top 5 coach despite what Reddit believes. Dragging THIS sixers team to over .500 is incredible achievement.
Nick is a legit genuis man…
Mazulla smiling with Lin fucking up his chance for COTY. Lol
Good use of radiohead.
Everything was in its right place
High quality posts in this day and age?
How do we watch more of these? Does he have a channel of some sorts on one of the platforms? Looks professionally made and not just an ex NBA dude chatting into a phone 😂
This looks like a post on his instagram and tiktok. I follow him on twitter and he didn’t post it there.
and a lot of people wanted him fired lol. playoff nurse is different.
I think it’s because he kinda looks like you’d borrow a pencil from him and it’d have teeth marks.
Nurse had hair when we hired him, all that chewing on pencils has him looking the way he does now
Nice information about play making in basketball. Now i know how crucial execution of play after time out is.
Has Lin been doing this or did he just start? This is good content, and if he just started, I hope he leans more into it.
His segment from weeks ago was one of the better articulated ones I’ve seen recently.
see this is the type of analysis we need more of
Is this what Harvard education looks like? This is a high quality analysis
Rick Carlisle was great at ATO’s with the Mavs
Neat content but midi radiohead is an odd choice of music here. Doesn’t fit.
I don’t mind it but seemed a bit dark for this content
Does he have a media team doing this for him? This is absurdly polished, paced, and presented for an individual to pull off.
He should have a show of his own
Nick Nurse has to be one of the more polarizing coaches in the league. I only hear he’s a genius, or he’s bad and way over hyped lol, very few in-between.
Ya
So this is great analysis by Lin and better than 90%+ of the posts on this sub.
That said, and I understand why Lin would be biased, this is a good way to evaluate a good offensive coach, not overall head coach. Obviously this has nothing to do with defensive schemes and matchups and of course nothing to do wit on the court development.
This a 1 minute TikTok video so only so much you can add but the clickbait title is just that which is what you have to do in today’s media landscape sadly.
He literally starts the video with “one of the many ways to evaluate a good coach”
More of this please
Does he often do videos of just straight analysis like this? Guys like Kurt Benkert and Chase Daniel do it for the NFL where they really breakdown film and it’s awesome to watch.
J lin bringing the heat
“FORM A FUCKING WALL” 📋
Great analysis and perspective and that Radiohead magic chord progression does something to my brain every time.
Where’s Kevin Mchale?
Love the added swoosh sounds, so satisfying
graphics for this are so good
That’s the Harvard presentation skill right there
Of course Linsanity is good at math. He’s a ….. Harvard graduate
This dude is so smart, maybe he can graduate from Harvard.
Man this is so much higher quality than the vast majority of analysis and commentary and talking head content on the broadcasts. Shame it doesn’t get signal boosted the same way.
Nick Nurse gets way way overhated by Sixers fans bc of the abysmal roster construction by Daryl Morey. He sunk 70% of the cap on to two part time players, got no shooting on this team, no size, and Sixers probably have the worst perimeter defense of every team that made the playoffs (maybe Denver is on par with Watson out)
45 wins and an average defense is pretty good all things considered lol. Main gripe with Nurse for me is the half court offense just dies if the first action doesn’t immediately generate a good shot. But even when it does, we got mostly trash shooters open for them
He should be on the broadcast team or something. This was great analytics insight!
“With 2:54 left in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets are clinging to a 99-98 lead, when the ball goes out of bounds to the Nuggets underneath their own basket. Chauncey’s fear is realized. The team has no out-of-bounds play. Karl just wants them to improvise, to use their basketball instincts, but Chauncey can’t live that way. So he calls time.
In the huddle, they’re all stumped. Smith tells Anthony: “He just got here, and he’s calling timeouts?” But Chauncey waves them close and starts in: “Look, George, I need you to draw me up an out-of-bounds play, man, to get the ball in. Because if we don’t and we turn the ball over and lose this game because we didn’t have something, that just won’t sit well with me.”
Karl and the team’s response is: wow.”
OTL: The Disposable Superstar
Commonly known as inbounds play
Ivy League level analysis here.
Omg a good post on this subreddit!
Did notice today that Dagnault called a time out to stop a run from the Suns late, I think it was straight into a made 3 pointer. Killed the Suns momentum
hope Amazon crew includes J Lin next season
I love actual analysis
Reminds me of Kobe’s Details
Get this man a full time job.
Every screen Philly set was a moving screen, screener shuffling his feet every time. I’ve seen players called for moving their hips on a perfectly set screen but somehow this bullshit gets a pass? Officiating in the NBA is trash. Hold refs accountable.
You can tell jeremy lin knows ball but is trying to be nice to mazzulla and not call him a mediocre coach.
Man the celtics are in trouble
Cool video by Lin, and super informative. How do you say that this shows he out coached Mazzula though? Like either show stats for Mazzula ATO otherwise it doesn’t mean much, like you’re running a set play against most likely a coverage you know or are expecting. Shouldn’t the offence have the advantage in that situation?
yo lin. Tell your editor to chill the hell out with the editing. You don’t need annotations and pictures for literally every single word you say.
So what does ATO stand for?
Imagine watching a video before commenting.
