Ingram and Hart swapped lineups and all of a sudden, the 1st team and 2nd team both look better. Ingram even had five assists!

Ingram looked far more comfortable playing among the reserves after largely residing in the corner for much of the offense alongside Team USA’s starters. There’s a noticeably zippier pace that Tyrese Haliburton attempts to establish compared to Brunson’s more methodical probing off the bounce. And on two plays, Ingram was the one driving left and finding Haliburton all alone in the right corner for a wide-open triple.
Ingram told Yahoo Sports that Kerr informed him of the lineup change Wednesday morning.
“They thought it was a better fit for me playing with Tyrese and playing with some guys that are a little less ball dominant than Jalen and Ant,” Ingram said. “They just talked about it being a better fit, and I agreed with them.”
I like the idea of shutting down the iso actions beyond the 3pt line by having a player play *behind* the ball handler, but I'm a little leery of the openings that would present elsewhere.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThey tried this against Harden right?

By DY_nasty Go To PostThey tried this against Harden right?Pretty sure, yeah. It worked for a little while until he adjusted and then was never used again.
I don't have a sub so I can read all of it, but this may have some value and kind of lines up with what most of us have been thinking: https://www.tomthefinder.com/p/which-nba-teams-receive-the-best
I only know of the Lakers and Knicks being in the top 5 of getting the "best" refs for their games. Best as defined by which refs were selected to ref in the Finals or Playoffs that season and rookie refs.

They do
But so do the "best" refs of the likes of Scott Foster because they love to attempt to control the game to their whims.

Anybody know more details on what the whole Eric Lewis NBA statement is? Are they just basically firing the guy for game tampering without saying anything, or???

I haven't watched the video but was that where they'd basically defend 3/4 behind him to see they could convince him to drive?

By pilonv1 Go To PostIIRC it just ended up with them getting endless lobs to Capella or kickouts to corner threesYup. It worked for like 1, maybe 1.5 games and that was it.
I dunno if the defensive strat Australia had against Slovenia was worth it... they gave up so many open shots blitzing and doubling Luka
Rokas had been balling out for Lithuania. The Knicks need to hurry up with this consolidation trade so we can bring him over.
By reilo Go To PostHuh. Interesting….
Most of the teams above the USA on this list is eliminated. More passes is not always better lol. They pass around a lot cause they are hunting for much easier opportunities cause they lack talent to score -- you know, the primary objective.
But hey, Ingram Alerts.
