Nick knows his stuff.

Very good video. Adjustments will need to be made to tailor the game of Gasol but there's a lot of movement in this offense. D'Antoni will NEED to add in some half court sets to provide more balance to this team.

[Thanatos]

Always love this guy's analyses. Makes me feel a little bit more optimistic about D'Antoni's offense, but still many worries. D'Antoni is also going to have to figure out a way to keep Pau involved or else he'll be even more under utilized than he was with Brown.

Offence looks nice. It seems its going to be hard to fit in Pau... hmm

[JGuez]

I actually subscribed to this guy recently. Has some great videos. Thanks for sharing.

My two biggest concerns with MDA at the helm is rebounding, for obvious reasons, and adjustments. Not necessarily in-game adjustments, but game to game adjustments for a playoff series. There are a lot of ways this team can attack a defense, more than just the PnR game.

I hope this works because I have a hard time picturing Kobe sitting around waiting.
And I don't like the idea of Pau behind the 3 point line

What I didn't like about this is how Kobe and Pau were just floating on the perimeter. I hope D'Antoni can use them more effectively, especially Kobe.

D'Antoni has known Kobe since he was a kid. I don't seem limiting Kobe's skills. There's going to be more to this offense IMO. With him being a offensive minded coach, I think he'll put these players in position to succeed.

I'm not worried about Kobe. I'm certain he will make suggestions to D'Antoni about where he feels most comfortable as well as being effective on the court, and D'Antoni will adjust his offensive schemes accordingly.

[Hollywood]

I hate this guy. Makes everything seem more than what it is.

[djcovi]

A lot of his videos are purely for the views. This one felt rushed, I think he wanted to get this out there before the buzz of D'Antonis hiring died down.

Team USA ran d'antonis offense.

The heat run d'antonis offense

It's not just 1 ball handler. The reason it was in PHX is you aren't going to have raja bell or Shawn marion run pick and rolls

It works the same either way. Nash spots up when Kobe runs it, Kobe spots up when Nash runs it. Either way it's fine.

In fact you can't win with 1 ball handler. Every team has two.

It works like this. Kobe pick and rolls, oh but they trap him, he swings it to Nash who can shoot, or run another pick and roll

This isn't going to be Nash dominated. Kobe and Nash will work out a system or let the defense dictate. I know that Howard will be the focal point roller.

Pau is the question, does d'antoni figure out how to include him or does he get rid of him.

Pau can space. Spacing is relegated to the 3 point line. Shooting mid range is also spacing, see Chris bosh and KG

You should be right next to him in the video. No joke.
