Can't have this mix up on Haliburton, OG and Hart are not on the same coverage, OG is staying with Pascal but Hart is in switch mode. DiVincenzo's over-rotating on this drive from Siakam, leads to the kick out and swing to Nembhard from the corner three.

I have been wanting the Sixers to spam Embiid post ups but at the same time I wonder if he has the legs for that. It is terribly effective when he gets a post touch. Hartenstein with a great example of circling up on OG's drive to find the open spot and knocks down the floater.

Great corner crash from McDaniels on the KAT three. Good ole Spain action from the Suns. McDaniels gives no bump on the backscreen so Nurkic gets an easy one.

Great job from the Cavs zoning up the weak side and pushing in transition. Best way to attack the Magic is before the defense gets set. Paolo's playmaking is so good, I love the cut from Isaac but the defense from the Cavs did a great job collapsing on him

Great cut from Brown as Russ gets into the lane, nice pass too. Schroder sets the flare screen, the Knicks switch it and Brunson is not aware Brown is cutting versus standing in the corner. Crunch time has not been kind to either team this season. These next few minutes could be really entertaining.

The Cavs defense is just crushing the Heat. Miami already has five turnovers. The Cavs just run get actions, a get action between Rubio and Mitchell with a flare screen. Heat cover it well with Bam switching onto Mitchell and Butler ready to switch out Herro but Donovan still gets a pretty clean look at a midranger

This is just a great one hand pass on the move from PG to Kawhi in the corner off of the offensive rebound. Bogdanovic gets caught out of position because of it. Great defense here from Batum pulling to get the steal off Mitchell's pass to Gobert. Not sure if it is by design but George going towards the corner after the Rudy roll and Batum coming over is really interesting.

Hawks off to a good start in getting three-point looks, Young drives and finds Collins, get a corner one off of floppy action for Huerter, then Bogdanovic hits one in transition. 1-4 in the first 3:30 is a good start, now just need to make them. The Sixers have missed some open layups but their half court offense has been all Embiid settling.

Good play to start the game from the Nuggets, getting Jokic a touch off the move and force Ayton to have to navigate a ton of traffic to catch up to him. The Nuggets do a good job on the first screen with Jokic showing and Gordon recovering but then concede the switch to put Booker vs Porter, that is not the match up Denver should be willing to live with.

Even though the scoreboard doesn't show it but a lot of good stuff from the Bucks offense early, pretty sure there has been some sort of Giannis ball screen on all of them. On the flip side Brooklyn has gotten some four makes and it feels like only one of them was an easy look. A Blake pull up three, a Kyrie leaner against the shot clock, and KD off some tough defense from Tucker.

Ingles coming out shooting, first off the fortunate bounce after a near turnover and then off the DHO when the Clippers botch the coverage. Not the start the Clippers are looking for. It ends in a PG dunk but this is a brutal offensive possession for the Clippers, the ball never gets inside the three point line and they are late to run everything. Great job from Gobert helping on the backside fo the front on Kawhi.

We are just about a month away from the playoffs, this was usually the time I would begin playoff prep. Never a small task because I would prep for a few teams knowing we are only playing one so here is a list of stuff I would prep, let's assume we're prepping for Denver 1/11 First thing, I'd go through all our games against the Nuggets, what worked, what didn't. What did we do to win? Why did we lose? If they owned us, what can we do different etc. 2/11
