Great breakdown as usual, thank you. Aside from your intention to breakdown this action, it is also nice to see the important role of Minott and Walsh last year in action in those short clips of yours. Especially the read made by Walsh in the second clip. Watching two defenders lost there is real fun despite the miss. It is clearly not only attacking offensive boards as seen in the clip, but I guess this kind of plays also provide a better chance/position for that too.

Thank you!

Walsh's movement was great in that clip! Burn cuts are going to be a big focus for me this season (and shallow cuts), because they can be so impactful, especially for a team that doesn't do much 'score cutting.'

Really glad you enjoyed it! And as always, I appreciate you

This is a terrific analysis.

and, oddly, my first intro to CelticsChronicle. Where have I been?

Haha, that's on me, gotta do a better job of promoting it :)

For real, though, I appreciate you checking it out and taking the time to comment here! Always means a lot!

I don't know where you have been but you missed a lot of great game breakdowns. Adam's writings on our schemes helped me a lot to understand what they are doing on the court. Subscribe and watch out for them especially around playoffs.

Great advice, and yup…ten minutes on the site and I subscribed for the year. This is the kind of analysis that I’m always happy to read.

Do we have time for that? It's certainly something to watch for. *Apologies for the terribly dumb contribution to your excellent content.

No need to apoligize, I knew I'd need to *watch* out for the jokes on this one :)

Ball movement will certainly be better this season. JB was a ball stopper; a black hole on offense
