Often, in Play-Off battles, torrid three point shooting and momentum shot blocking are two wild card variables, pivoting a game's outcome.
NBA Play-Off game 7's test the 1) scoring skills 2) D focus 3) big play converting 4) heart of star players. The victor "wills" their team forward.
Often, physically tired players during game intensity miss lay-ups, make lazy ball decisions and late to D help. Base conditioning is improved, w/ 1) proper diet 2) cardio priority 3) core flexibility focus 4) restful sleep.
Crafty point guards vs. switching game D utilize "burst and go" dribbles, to gain pass or shot separation. Strike bounce navigators are basket setters for 1) lob dunkers 2) range shooters 3) rolling screeners. Dime dishers!
Thx to John Dwinell, Bill Madden, Kevin Jones and all the NBA/Utah Jazz fans, for their kind words about our tweets. Sharing and Caring!
Hardened Play-Off teams dig down deep and "will" themselves to win. Floormates are committed to 1) defend 2) score 3) rebound 4) trust.
Poised battlers during game drama compete intensely, yet keep their surging emotions in-check. Accountable intensity is understanding 4th Q. technical fouls, or over zealous violations are detrimental. Steady!
Teams, in season elevate as units, w/ two-way game execution. Players off season advance by upgrading 1) dribble series 2) range shooting 3) D technique 4) core strength. Improvement is the goal in every time period.
In Play-Off battles, young, talented scorers are humbled and hardened, by the game's intensity. They're living in a two way physicality vacuum.
Alert D units challenge late game scoring talents, by 1) trapping 2) box zoning. Prepared Off. coaches move future basket makers, to the second side via screening and cutting. Ace scorers seek the ball in space.
Focused game slicers finish their cut, even if they don't receive a pass. This action detail creates floor space, by momentarily shifting help defenders. Selfless cutters generate team baskets by 1) discipline 2) exactness.
The NBA Play-Offs are an educational experience, for young lions. Youth talents are speed learning about 1) hounding D 2) physicality scoring.
Motivated defenders multi-task on most D game possessions. Effort D guardians 1) talk 2) ball contain 3) challenge 4) help 5) rotate 6) recover 7) box out 8) shot block 9) charge take 10) loose ball scrap. Compete!
Confident late game charity stripe marksmen shoot, w/ light arms and bright eyes. Their limbs aren't heavy and pupils blurry. Accurate foul shooters have rhythmic shot mechanics and calm mental focus. Swish!
Play-Off experience teaches players' how hard it is, to win. Often, late game hustle plays alters a contest's outcome. Little big things do matter!
In an overtime Play-Off game , leaders accept responsibility, to be closers, on both ball sides. Clutch finishers score, defend and believe. Tyrese Maxey--46 points--9 dimes--5 rebounds!
Impactful, off the bench spark igniters are game ready. Spirited energy givers are one injury away from starting or, critically, playing more. Prepared understudies create team confidence, not doubt in adjusted roles.
Mindful players self correct themselves, if struggling during game intensity. Solution gamers analyze, w/out over thinking 1) jump shot 2) passing 3) D technique errors. Confidence reappears by returning to fundamentals.
In Play-Off basketball, focused teams compete, w/ urgency, to knock out the opponent, as quickly possible. Rest and recovery time is vital, for legs.
Charge taking is a selfless staple, of winning game D. Court allies honor charge takers, by picking them up, off the floor, w/ reverence. Successful charge takers utilize 1) positioning 2) timing 3) footwork 4) courage.
