📽️The Nuggets have outperformed their point differential more than any team in the Nikola Jokic era. Why are they so good in the clutch? And what makes them so formidable against the best teams? youtube.com/watch?v=A3S1JF…

📽️Jalen Brunson has some of the most insane footwork I've ever seen. For the NBA, how he's always balanced WHILE throwing his defenders off balance: youtube.com/watch?v=Cy-J2W…

📽️Anthony Edwards hit his head on the rim last week and Andre Jackson Jr. looked down into the hoop...so how are these players jumping so high?? The answer involves Isaac Newton and a legendary dunk from 1989. (s/o J. Kyle Mann) youtube.com/watch?v=TcqhZu…

📽How can Luka Doncic put up video game numbers, yet the Mavs barely change when he goes to the bench? We look at his defense, off ball game, and more to tackle this strange paradox. youtu.be/dZfufGaRhHg?si…

How did the Clippers defense lock down the Mavs in the first half? With a smart scheme and some hard work. youtu.be/k0xqsIDI3lI?si…

📽️The Wolves top-ranked defense might be BETTER in the playoffs, and through 2 games it's been a major challenge for Phoenix just to dribble the ball (!), let alone crack the paint. 12 minutes of the J-Mac, NAW and Ant lockdown: youtube.com/watch?v=hvEpuh…

📽️Jalen Brunson has busted out a ton of counters while adjusting to varying coverages. We looked at how he's found such a rhythm, his synergy with Hartenstein, and why the Knicks remind me of the 2001 76ers. youtube.com/watch?v=e4E4nn…

📽️The Wolves used a rare strategy to take away Denver's vaunted 2-man actions in Game 1. We looked at how they did it, Anthony Edwards's brilliance, and the chess match between Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert. youtube.com/watch?v=teH9jz…

📽OKC is daring Dallas’s role players to shoot, despite most of their role players shooting above 35% from 3 for their career! Why they dominated Game 1 and why they think the trade off is worth it: youtu.be/p-NnjxkZEXA?si…

This should be a fun thread. Going to look at some series numbers when a team has the best player (according to LEBRON, according to EPM, according to both). Data is from 2013-14 season up to the 22-23 season. Does not include this year. Total includes 150 series played
