The team oriented play of the Jazz, Grizzlies, Heat, Raptors or Suns is really a delight to watch and also my prefered way of basketball. However when it really matters in the playoffs the last few years have shown that elite pnr players and isolations after switches are often the true offense of the very best teams. This video should have also shown how elite players like Lebron, Luka or Harden operate as their pnr savy, mismatch hunting and iso ball is also a major part of elite offenses today which punishes/eliminates immobile bigs and weak wing defenders and generally influences the roster construction in the league. While I also enjoy teams with secondary stars and therefore more european concepts, the truly elite players should have also been part of thr video even if it is not the most team oriented concept of playing basketball.

On thing this video proves is that the mid range is not dead. It’s just used in a different way. No more jab stepping and 1 dribble drives out of the high post and more flowing motion with the midrange as a backup option if the rim is closed off
anyone that watches a tiny bit of basketball knows the midrange never died, what changed is that now role players dont take long twos anymore because those shots were awful, the team is way better off them taking 2 steps back and scoring a whole extra point, Mid range is for skilled stars and thats the best way for things to be
can you explain one offence at a time (one per video), maybe you could also explain the strength and weaknesses too, I'm new to basketball but I like the tactics employed by the teams. Your videos help me to understand the value of team work vs star players

Great video!. The knicks ran a lot of these plays (horns but very basis, pistol action, spain pnr to little avail, double screens for RJ barrett to start off games). Be interesting to see how Evan Fournier and Kemba, along with a hopefully budding playmaker in RJ barrett and Randle can help execute these plays more effectively. Of course, it would be nice to have players who can set proper screens.
I miss these more Xs and Os oriented videos, that's what got me into this channel. Not saying I don't enjoy the rest of the content, but this is great.
i think you're gonna want to make a lot of videos on miami this season. something about the potential lineup of Lowry/Dipo/Jimmy/PJ, marcus, or yurtseven/Bam seems like a coach's dream
Quality content as usual coach. Lots of sets and their variations. Just want suggest that this technical video is great for old viewers like me but might be too difficult for newer viewers. Maybe you should create some refresher videos occasionally
Coach so i getting form this in nba modern offence is team orieanated with quick deccision that u make off the cacth . And form now on i shall try to not use tripple jab :/
Coach why don’t teams use the Stockton-Malone baseline cross-screen to establish better post position for entry? Also, (post position) why don’t teams use their primary post player to set a baseline screen on the edge of the lane, then he merely turns around and has overwhelming position to score with an entry pass?
Hi Coach, what's the proper definition of "pistol action"? I hear you mention it a lot, and seen it elsewhere too. But I've only heard it referred to as early action that involves a handoff. Is there a proper way to identify pistol action?
Pistol is an action in early offense where 1. the Ball is passed to a wing player out of Transition 2. Point Guard follows his own pass towards the wing, creating a handoff-situation, or brushing off his defender to receive a pass while cutting to the basket 3. simultaneously the Ballside Post-Player comes up to the 3pt-Line a) thus creating open space near the Ballside-Post/Midrange area for the Point Guard to cut into b) or setting a Ballscreen towards the Middle for the Wing Player if the Ball couldnt be given back to the PG -> creating a PickNRoll Situation.
Wouldn't you consider a play/action a fail if it ends in a contested shot or iso? Just like the clip of Ja vs GS (I think it was the 4th clip or something).
Portland had the 4th ranked NBA offense last season. But we will never know what things they did to earn that because Coach Nick doesn't think they exist.
Modern basketball is now full of offensive players and loves to score quickly.. And because athletes now is so quick and agile... Their precision at position is so different unlike athletes before that quite slow and only scorer is the go-to guy or second option.
@@johnjhermiecruz8971 Lol "so much faster", this has been debunked athletes don't get that much better the offensive game changes and rules change to help players score.
Because a lot of the old motion concepts involved running through the scoring lane and it just lets the help come more easily, there was no concept of spacing and they would just get in the way.
Not a fan of the background music the one before was much much better. This one is a bit distracting and does not seem to match the pace shown in most of the clips.
Yeah these are not being “coached” per say but is a compilation of offensive sets in review since most people watch the ball during the games not the actions. I definitely would love segments where it’s a breakdown of sets from a game and we review/learn how the sets are done
Pick and roll and Isolating missmatches are still the backbone of the most successfull teams offenses. The game evolved in a lot of ways (more threes, more open lanes, sofisticated types of zone defenses and stuff) but at the core, when it matters the most, it is still the same 90s style of stars going mano a mano what decides the outcome of games
I have my fingers crossed for the day the three point line gets done away with. It has ruined the way basketball is played, especially since the Warriors became successful. You get the same number of points in the NFL no matter how many yards the touchdown play or the field goal kick is for. Why have this stupid gimmick in basketball?
Then teams would just sit at the basket and that's not entertaining at all Also did you not watch last year's finals?? Bucks with defense and paint / jumpshots vs 2heavy scorers who heavily relied on jumpshots
It's just an upbeat instrumental??? What wrongs with you lmao, stop being a pessimistic baby, not every video need coach's intense music. This is just supposed to be a fun video; an easy watch, not an intense game breakdown.

cant help but to miss the old song :(
Too many Raptors, Jazz, and Grizzlies plays. So beautiful to watch. Props to Coach Nurse, Coach Snyder and Coach Jenkins.
Coach nick with the gangsta hood chill on the block beat
can you do something like this but on the Defensive side of NBA teams?
As a Raps fan, that footage featuring Baynes is straight up triggering
How do you defend these styles

For me, it’s any action that involves a pin down into hand off or a hand off into ball screen
Imagine a screen followed by a handoff. Thats it!
THIS IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC
What's this song? Great and happy!
Coach, it would've been cool if you explained why the Triangle Offense is still relevant. Maybe in another video?
Coach why don’t you post the live shows on TH-cam anymore?
Wouldn't you consider a play/action a fail if it ends in a contested shot or iso?
Just like the clip of Ja vs GS (I think it was the 4th clip or something).
Can’t wait for more tactical breakdowns when the season starts
Pick up where Channels like coach Daniel left off
So basically today's NBA is all about setting moving picks.
Hi coach! What link do I click to get some analysis on my jumpshot? Always enyoj your videos
Hey hey! www.expertx.app/coachnick
💪🏀👍
Love to see the raptors content 😅
What kind of offense do the lakers play? If any? Cuz it seems it’s always an iso-driven offense lol
Really enjoyed this coach Nick 👍🏻
man I wish the bulls would implement some of this offense, just dunno if Billy Donovan got it. if he does, our team is dangerous
Ben Simmons: Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!
Not a fan of the new music.
Portland had the 4th ranked NBA offense last season. But we will never know what things they did to earn that because Coach Nick doesn't think they exist.
The music over the commentary isn’t the move
Coach NIck - how have you not been hired by an NBA team yet?
"Where Slo-Mo gets open and make it drop" 🤣😅😂
You know the play works when you manage to free up slo-mo.
The music is a jam, coach. Couldn't pay attention to what you were saying at the beginning
Thats a lot of raptors clips hahaha.Goes to show you how team oriented toronto is😁
tbh nba offense isnt really complicated. theyve got some basic schemes with some room for improvisation.
The music was so good I couldn’t concentrate on the actual words lol
Coach Nick, bring the old song back! Or change it to a more upbeat one, this one sounds like a kid's video
hey thank you for this vid I am a 15 year old Swiss basketball player and I find these type of vids very interesting
Thx for watching! 🙏🏀

The secret is you usually only get to shoot if your allowed to shoot

All I ask is for less isolation plays. That bores the hell out of me.

Music is way too loud 💀
We only come for the music! We don’t like this music
