The Lakers run such good sets when they actually use 'em. Got to find the balance between being a heavy pick and roll team and sets. They got the goods offensively. @joinoffside.bsky.social
On the pod Jared was worried about Wemby's ability to play heavy minutes since he hasn't most of the season. Tonight he has played 38+ minutes, because Mitch Johnson laughing in the face of Jared.
Damn!
Thompson missed this but this was a great call from Ime, pass from KD, and effort from Thompson.
Fox is getting into the paint with easy against the Pistons, on this possession Bryant cut along baseline and basically jumped over Sasser.
Castle is just relentless, Pistons set the screen at halfcourt, Wemby is meeting Cade at the three-point line but he keeps coming and gets the block from behind.
The Week 19 @joinoffside.bsky.social NBA Power Rankings are in: Pelicans finally climbing, Hornets are shockingly elite, Knicks Defense is legit, and I've got major questions about the Pistons offense!

Alexis Morgan, @talkhoops.bsky.social, and I are back again on NBA TV at 6pm ET. Come hang with us.
Oh I'll turn up the ucla slander to 11 now!
@jadubin5.bsky.social and I appreciate you listening to the double dribble podcast!
High level sloppiness from the Spurs today, turnovers in the backcourt at least three, a lot of driving into crowds and the Knicks have fully taken advantage.
Soooo..It's a 10 point lead going into the half, still double digits but with how well they played from about the 4 minute mark in the first quarter to the half, you would have thought it was bigger. Just something to monitor, might not mean anything.
I love the pace with which the Knicks are playing with. One thing I'm watching for over he last 6 minutes of the half, is if they let the Spurs back in this game. Got to keep this a 15+ lead in my opinion.
This was a great defensive possession from Robinson, he took away the lob to Wemby and then any chance Barnes had at a shot.
Tap in with Alexis Morgan, @talkhoops.bsky.social and me on NBA TV tonight. Always fun with the trifecta trio.

Just a massive difference for the Rockets when they close with Reed on offense. It opens up the floor so much. Surprised it took this long for Udoka to go with him.
New @joinoffside.bsky.social NBA Power Rankings - Bucks hot without Giannis, Magic waking up late, Nuggets need health, and the Spurs are the NEW #1 thanks to Wemby's defense.
You always regret the shots you didn’t take. That’s my thought on the Lakers’ loss to the Magic the other night. @joinoffside.bsky.social
This was a great win for the Spurs, not just 10 straight but to come back after that brutal third quarter. Really impressive.
Just another angle of those defensive plays.
Why not have Wemby guard the inbounder? Make it as hard as possible to inbound the ball.
First, Barnes picks Fox clean but holy crap this block from Wemby is INSANE!
The funny thing on this clip, he was the rim the whole time, how do you miss him???
NEW DOUBLE DRIBBLE POD

Why did Luka not pull the trigger on that three? He had a good look and then took a dribble in, he handed a grenade to LeBron. That’s rough.
I have no idea how evaluate the Eastern Conference, on Sunday the Cavs lose to the Thunder down SGA and Williams, Monday the Spurs beat the Pistons, Tuesday the Cavs beating the hell out of the Knicks. I have no idea who is coming out of the East.
Spurs exposed a potential Pistons’ trade deadline regret; they bottled Cade up all night, no help means playoff doom. @joinoffside.bsky.social
Impressive win for the Spurs, really dealt with the Pistons physical play well. For the Pistons, I'm worried about what the offense is going to do when teams give Cade hell, Castle was all over him tonight and no one really stepped up.
