A 4-out-1-in would basically cover it. Only real wrinkle that would be Thunder specific would be to have Durant set on-ball screens for Westbrook and work the pick-n-pop. Other than that, the offense is really just about spacing and allowing Westbrook/Durant (and Jackson to a degree) to get in 1-on-1 situations with space to operate.

Yeah, this. I probably could have worded that better. You need to be selective with your turbo defensive movement this year. You can't instantly recover. On ball it becomes necessary to anticipate when he is going to stop or when he is going to turbo.

In past game you could turbo to get in the passing lane and immediately recover to also stop the backdoor. Basically the defense was too OP because of that.

As I turbo'd to get into the lane I had to stop and turn and restart my momentum. Just was highlighting that fact. It doesn't always look like it should but the emphasis is still there as far as the control of turbo on defense.

NOICE. and we cover that with their play calls this year. Very happy the execution of their screen to iso game. We allow you to branch out of those if he isn't open IIRC. It's hard because we have so much as far as back-doors and branches it is hard to remember where all the goodies are located. LOL.

I think I speak for everyone in hear in saying we really appreciate all the communication that guys like you and Leftos provide. So with the freelance set by coach, does it follow that coach from team to team? So if Pop gets fired and then hired by the Nets for example, the Nets will run the Swing Motion freelance?

Yes it would however in the default roster we could switch that on the back end if POP goes somewhere and no longer runs the Swing Motion.

Czar, will teams recognize mismatches and adjust their freelance actions to accommodate?

Awesome, I'm just thinking more for as a MyLeague progresses. So if someone likes the Spurs style of play IRL (and if you actually appreciate the game of basketball you have to love the way they play although I'm a die hard Heat fan lol), they have that much more of an incentive to sign Pop and bring the swing motion to their team (atleast as default, I realize it can still be selected within each game you play). Very nice addition, mad props to you and the team man!
