NBA PLAYS 2010

match of the day saturday nights on BBC One has been doing this with soccer for about 20 years and yes it is the tits

the NBA version is a pale shadow of MotD though - they need to get better at showing how plays develop, the ebb and flow. they also need to isolate the commentary from the crowd noise so they can blend from one play to the next more seamlessly. last - and i hope you're taking notes, NBA - they have to work in cutaway shots of the bench and the coaches to further help with that

its just youtube man they do every game were not talking about some fancy tv show, that does sound nice

tho on the other hand the speed at which they get these clips packages up is good you can watch them basically right after the game ends

yeah that’s good. match of the day takes maybe 4 or 5 hours tho it’s not terrible. and then you have studio guys doing breakdowns etc afterwards. basically the NBA should improve those highlights and then get whoever runs those “bball biomechanics” twitter accounts etc to discuss each game with a star or two, use light pens to draw on freeze frames

i mean they do have stuff like that on tv, tho more for the nfl than nba, nba plays just not as interesting for people idk, i think they have tried technical breakdown shows before on nbatv but not sure it went anywhere, i personally do like learning about plays, you see it more in articles these days with lil accompanying videos, and yeah on twitter

the general level of technical knowledge of nfl fans is crazy these days, due mostly to madden lol

i mean every team just runs spread high pnr now with some scattered sets anyway

it's still fun to watch how different players and teams excel (or fail) at the execution though

i found some basketball website a couple of weeks ago that was like a compendium of plays, all coded into some kind of, i dunno java applet that let you watch the x's and o's move to different places, with commentary on each stage of the play as it developed and they were INSANE. like 8-stage plays where if a shot's not possible you go on to the next stage, i don't know how anybody remembers this stuff much less executes it in the face of the defense

yeah its nuts

if you ever read in depth like scheme analysis about the NFL it’s fuckin insane all the things those guys have to know just to properly execute a single play. both the memorization and then implementation is bonkers. like if you’re a linebacker you might have to look at what the TE or WR or RB or OL or QB is doing before the snap, where they’re lined up, where they motion to, where they are in relation to everyone else on the field and then it all could change after the snap based on where everyone runs and you have to process all this in like 1.5 seconds while surrounded by some of the best athletes in the world. it’s madness

the general level of technical knowledge of nfl fans is crazy these days, due mostly to madden lol

yah thats huge. i watch pretty much all of #BaldysBreakdowns

vintage

wow lol

LeBron looks like he's well past his last MVP and last championship ring can only coast into his final resting places on the all-time lists now. With his kind of contract he can't just go ring-hunting as a spare part, like Rondo, Melo or Dwight.

sengun has basetball talent

bron finally cooked rip king

In his piece ⁦@TheAthleticNBA⁩ today (https://t.co/EGxy4uH0OI), ⁦@johnhollinger⁩ highlights the exact play that was fresh in my mind when I tweeted that LeBron may have reached a certain point in his career. This not being a dunk is jarring, let alone a janky reverse. pic.twitter.com/668zGmqJK8
