Today marks three years of Basketball, She Wrote. There's been a lot of highs and, unfortunately, a few lows. I'm still my own harshest critic, but I also still believe that -- similar to the Pacers -- the best may be yet to come. Thanks to everyone who has supported me this far.

Hello. I've decided to be someone who talks to NBA head coaches about basketball. Here's a sneak peek of what's coming. Full episode about random offense (with a bit of breaking...

Hey guys, I talked to Rick Carlisle about the Pacers playing random - drawing influence from jazz - implementing this style in 2025 vs 2011 - why the NBA is running less PnR - do...

Andrew Nembhard has mastered the art of stealing the opening tip to such an extent that teams started game-planning for his gamesmanship in the playoffs. Allow me to explain, a t...

I wrote about Johnny Furphy - the athleticism and defense that have always been there & why reaching new heights, beyond his dunk of the summer, might require finding lower lows O...

Unique (very nerdy) defensive wrinkle from the Pacers. Haliburton rotates/stunts up from the dunker spot or corner on the two-side against the PnP anytime SGA or JDub are positio...

Two players started this possession in the same corner. Two players converged to screen for the ball. And two players moved to the same block. His feel for spacing is just ...
In view of next season, this is my fav type of Obi possession: goes from cutting off an exit screen & shaking up along the arc to dribbling out of a hand-off, kicking to the perimeter & screening for the ball Gets logged as nothing, but he does a lot of something www.patreon.com/posts/obi-to...
The Pacers have been through basketball hell. So naturally, I wrote about all of the ways that Andrew Nembhard is navigating the (under)world of defenders ducking under: www.patreon.com/posts/143680...
Teams have been loading up and staying at the blocks and elbows when Pascal Siakam is at the top of the key. In breaking down big, late-game shots from Nesmith, Quenton, & Siakam, on the improved process against that coverage that led to an improved result: 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/how-pa...
The Pacers averaged 4.9 possessions with at least three offensive players crashing last season, which ranked 26th in the league. In their preseason opener, they racked up 30. I wrote about why, as tinkerers, the Pacers already look like the Pacers: www.patreon.com/posts/as-tin...
More often than not, as the ball goes up, he's already darting to the opposing team's side of the floor in an attempt to play interceptor. And, here's the thing. There's rarely any consequence. Even if he doesn't come up with the ball, he still putting himself in position to pressure the ball
In multiple games, the Pacers have put the clamps on one of the NBA's biggest trends: slide cuts On their unique coverage, zoning up w/ the low man on the full side, & how even w/ a 6-18 record they're still finding a way to find a different way 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/pacers...
- Nembhard turns the ball back to the full side, triggering the slide cut - Siakam zones up as the low defender, stopping the ball first and foremost, before recovering - ET & Siakam swap recovery paths - No nail help, Huff stays home -> block www.patreon.com/posts/pacers...
Fun sequence on this SLOB play. - Quenton signals for "stack" & tells Taelon to be the stack screener - Cavs commit away from the play foul - Pacers set up in same play again, only Taelon feigns the pick and slips out to the corner - No low-man when Cavs try to tag switch on the roll
Two years ago, just before IND traded for Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard had to guard Lauri Markkanen. Now, it was Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. On the non-stop down screens that had IND down bad, & what that match-up says about a healthier team that still isn't whole. 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/pacers...

The Academy just made it clear... Performances must be done by real actors w their consent, & screenplays have to be written by humans to qualify for major awards. Al can't replace the people behind the work. It's not a ban on Al... it's a line being drawn on what still counts as human storytelling.

🔥 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the US. 🇺🇸 response: “I’ve met some who disagree. We lead from strength.” That’s not democracy or alliance. Its power deciding consent is optional. This is Brexit argument exported. Power over consent. Anecdote over evidence. Democracy when it agrees with you.

This past Friday, I heard from Arizonans who spoke out on rising costs and cruel Trump Administration policies hurting them. While billions go to ICE, they’re losing healthcare and struggling to afford groceries. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and hold this administration accountable.
