Limited Upside

Former Clippers and Spurs video coordinator Mo Dakhil, Basketball Dictionary editor and onetime D-League assistant coach Dylan Murphy, and former Nets assistant coach Steve Jones join Mike for a super in-depth discussion about some key league-wide Xs and Os trends they've noticed from the first month of the season. We chat about the rise of defensive switching and whether teams need to practice it more, how to attack dynamic defensive teams like the Celtics that can switch at every position, what's wrong with the Thunder in crunch time, how to tell when a team is spacing the floor properly, teams that are outperforming their talent because of strong early-season coaching, the NBA's next Xs and Os innovation, and tips for how to watch a game like a coach.
