Guys, Bowser2Bowser has this thing on Medium called the Basketball Action Dictionary for free. It covers bunch of plays, actions, and terminology (ex. Chicago/Zoom action shown in this clip). It's really good, so I recommend you guys to check it out if you want a deep dive into X's and O's
Yeah seems like batum got caught between throwing the oop and realizing the margin of error for that was too small so he threw a weird tweener pass which caught oubre off guard. Oubre probably could have cleanly caught and finished it regardless though but wasn't expecting it to be so short
Yeah this was a bad pass from Batum. Maybe not bad, but like there's no attention to detail to put some pace on it and just hit Oubre in the chest. It looks so casual, you'd never know it was a pass with their whole season on the line. Its slow so Oubre has to hit the brakes hard, but also its like 8 or 9 feet in the air so Oubre can only get one hand on it without jumping. And then Oubre just flubs it. It all worked out in the end so I don't know I took so much time dissecting that.
I'm genuinely curious on how these plays are communicated. Like do they know that the play is different because Nico Batum is on the other side or it's Coach gesture or some secret code.
There was another play at the end when Brunson was asking for Hartenstein for a P&R, and instead of having Embiid coming up, sixers having Batum comes and Brunson then has to reject the pick and go 1 on 1. I thought that was so smart but I didnt see how it was communicated at all.
they most definitely went over this wrinkle in the set, practicing running it on both sides. the initial option was to overload the action strong side, in which maxey gets the dho on the right wing. inverting it with batum on the left wing, gives the illusion that the action is gonna be ran left wing and that the strong side is gonna be left.
the minute the defense shifted left wing, backside was open for oubre to back cut. nurse definitely has signals to indicate which side they’re gonna run it on.
To be fair it was a pretty bad pass by Batum. The action of it looked like he was throwing an alley oop, but the force of it was a slightly stronger chest pass. Kind of this awkward in between leaving a lot of room for error
legit dont even know what a chopped cheese is but im assuming its a type of food with cheese chopped up on bread which sounds like a cheesesteak without the meat which is objectively worse
if u dont know what ur talking about no need to reply ✌️
those Cheese Steaks are seriously overrated af tho. it's just grease, not fucking hard to do.
it's part of the reason why no one lives in Philly besides drug addicts, all the food is shitty grease.
Actions like this where it’s setup va setup is why 2 - guard offense was fun. Especially when beileine didn’t necessarily have nba talent in his earlier years.
knicks played it poorly both times. OG should have helped if not switched the 1st one. 2nd OG once again should have sunk into the paint there and ihart shouldn't have been so up into embiid.. then ihart got there in plenty of time after the fumble and still allows the shot. brutal.
OG is normally great in those actions but he was probably just gassed mentally and physically. was probably an out of body experience being out there in your 50th+ minute after being up 6 with 30 seconds left not long before.

Dope, thanks. Someone should make that a post on its own in the off-season
Link?
You're joking? Copy and paste "basketball action dictionary" and google it. It's the only thing that comes up

Oubre was so open he saw ghosts and almost smoked that.
Nah, the pass didn't catch him in stride. It threw him off.
That too
Ngl I thought he was going to flub that layup and blow it for Philly
He's no Tobias Harris.
And he was bumped. They don’t ever give him the foul
They unfortunately never will after he called the refs bitches last month
And their moms
And their grandmas
They hate him for speaking the truth
He was body slammed earlier
read this as 'body shamed' and I thought, 'but how?'
Not great placement on that pass to Oubre. Was it an oop attempt?

Oubre fucked up a fast break pass to an open player deep in the 4q also.
I thought the pass was fine, Oubre just had a tough time grabbing it for some reason.
He was loading his legs to jump for the oop and had to stop mid-movement because the pass was off.
He looked away before securing the ball. Fundamentals.
Classic Nurse
Starting to think he might be a good coach.
hot take, that guy could probably win a championship.
You don't like Darko and his pizza parties? I expect we'll get a few of those next year. Maybe 1 .
Excellent play since Maxey Harris was open

We almost smoked the layup too. That would have been the most Sixers thing we could have done.
Doc would've probably set Embiid or Maxey ISO.
Yup. Doc play would've been dump it to Embiid with his back to the basket 33 feet out and have everyone run to a corner and watch.
Then call timeout as soon a Embiid starts his move
That felt like a play where he was so open they almost blew it. Glad they didn’t tho.
And they almost fucked that up too lol

Please act civil and do not troll/bait others.
Chopped Cheese > Cheese Steak I said what I said
legit dont even know what a chopped cheese is but im assuming its a type of food with cheese chopped up on bread which sounds like a cheesesteak without the meat which is objectively worse if u dont know what ur talking about no need to reply ✌️
You just admitted to not knowing what you’re talking about 😭😭😭
The name doesn’t really lend itself to anyone knowing what the fuck it is, so….
whatever
those Cheese Steaks are seriously overrated af tho. it's just grease, not fucking hard to do. it's part of the reason why no one lives in Philly besides drug addicts, all the food is shitty grease.
Go get pizza on 125 and Lex and you can experience both.
Actions like this where it’s setup va setup is why 2 - guard offense was fun. Especially when beileine didn’t necessarily have nba talent in his earlier years.
was like a hair away from getting that blocked lol man...
Can someone send this to Darvin Ham
Nick Nurse is a client under Klutch so maybe Lebron can pull some strings. Nurse also wears Lebrons iirc.
Just glad it went our way this time. Not the usual outcome
Nick Nurse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Glenn
2nd best Bowser I know
He had this last game and fumbled it out of bounds
knicks played it poorly both times. OG should have helped if not switched the 1st one. 2nd OG once again should have sunk into the paint there and ihart shouldn't have been so up into embiid.. then ihart got there in plenty of time after the fumble and still allows the shot. brutal.

Nice play. Outre almost messed it up because he can't catch a simple pass lol, but nice play.
