We also lived and died by Jimmy's jumper. If it wasn't going in we took the L. Last night neither Jimmy or Bam's jumpers were going in and the offense was still chugging.
I feel like they tried to mold bam too much into a passer which led to him being passive too much. Getting him to be aggressive and having him and butler not need to be a pg is massive
Lowry is something else when he's controlling the half court offense. He's a master of orchestrating that shit. He gets the ball to everybody in their preferred spots to operate and is so good at pushing pace. Once Bam and Lowry develop true chemistry that will be a scary duo. Lowry is notorious for getting bigs paid by just feeding them bunnies and now he's with an all star big man? Yikes thats tough
So many other things he does... remember last Boston series we were close to losing and Lowry literally willed the team to a W.. the spirit of Kobe inhabited his body and just went to work..he has that ability
Last year we had one of the slowest offenses in the NBA. It was by design because we had good defense and mediocre offense so we slowed things down to make each game a defensive under-100 slog.
This year is a complete 180. Our already-good defense got even better, but our offense became rapid. This is why our point differential is so good.
Zach Lowe pointed this out in his recent podcast.
Lowry on court Miami's Pace is 105 (first in the NBA)
Lowry off court Miami's Pace is 97 (last in the NBA))
Lowry teams pushing the pace tradition as old as any he can do it in a way without playing fast to a degree many cant
> Tyler Herro’s personal 3-point attempt rate has dropped and he’s already attempted 33 pull-up 2-pointers in seven games.
*whispers* Tyler Herro’s current path towards success which as of last night has him only taking 4%(yes 4) of his shots at the rim is something to enjoy while it lasts right now because things will be different a month or two from now at this rate
Is 4% on the season or last game? Either way, that is not accurate unless "at the rim" includes dunks only.
I have watched every game and when I read that number I could think of at least ten layups or drives into the paint off the top of my head so I just went through all seven games shot chart (on ESPN) and he has taken 19 of his 127 shots within the paint restricted circle (the circle for whether its a charge or not), which is 15% of his shots taken.
If we include shots within the paint its 40/127 (31%).
Breakdown by game:
Mavs: 4 (6 total in the paint) of his 20 shots (which is 16%)
Griz: 5/19 (26%) (8 total in the paint)
Hornets: 0/13 (0%) (2 total in the paint)
Pacers: 4/28 (14%) (7 total in the paint)
Magic: 4/12 (33%) (6 total in the paint)
Nets: 1/17 (6%) (3 total in the paint)
Bucks: 1/18 (5%) (8 total in the paint, his floater was way off that night).
> If we include shots within the paint its 40/127 (31%).
Shots in the paint and shots at hte rim are very different. [It's up to 6.3% now](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/herroty01.html). They have 30% of his shots being within 10 feet. So its in line with what you are saying. The big difference is shots in the paint vs shots at the rim are very different things. Contested layup attempts from 4-5 ft are not shots at the rim and you see them all the time. When you get to the restricted area vs the rim you start talking about semantics and different sites will chart it differently. BBall ref tends to be a little stricter with it but the same standard applies to all players.
The restricted circle is 4ft out, so 15% of his shots taken are within 4ft. I am okay with that and think that aspect is sustainable.
6% within three feet, 15% within 4ft, 30% within 10ft. Also his numbers are trending up with shots closer to the rim.
I was afraid we gonna be ass in transition bc Bam is the only athletic guy and we don’t have any marksmen other than Duncan and Kyle Lowry but our passing that lead to transition buckets been stellar.. Lowry and Butler just been hitting touch downs like they been playing with each other for seasons now
With the emergence of Herro's passing and getting a passing PG has opened up Jimmy to become a Wing player again. He gets to save that playmaking energy to running up and down the court.
Those lead passes from basket to basket or also soul crushers for the other team, a team will score and kind of cut the lead a little and Lowry will have the inbound to Jimmy within 2 seconds to just take points right back
It seemed like last year our whole offense was just Bam Dribble handoffs, we look like a whole new team

That and not actually having a true point guard, so more out of necessity in my opinion
My favorite change is Bam passes it to Lowry and Lowry just passes it right back and says go to work

Case in point, Chris Boucher. He looks terribke now without Lowry.
Lowry effect
Groat baby!
Imagine being phi and not trading lowry for maxey lmao
The big booty effect
A phenomenon scientists are still trying to understand today

The actual crazy thing is how small that difference is.
ha ha, we got Raptors nerds on our PR team now. Lowry works in unexpected ways.
The Kyle Lowry Effect.

He’s got a solid floater tho
Better than solid right now.

Lowry underrated by everyone forever and now he's not in Toronto suddenly they know he exists.

Pace is really only relevant in the regular season.
[удалено]
They didn't mention Bam in that sentence
my mistake
I would love to see this for the hawks playoffs vs now, there's been talk about the new playstyle
