Damn...dude knows his . Great read.

Yeah...the more I read up on Messina, the more I get excited about this move.

Great read. I really do think Messina will be a great fit here. It also sounds like he would be a great Pop replacement if that's the way they want to go.

I would bet a large sum of money the majority of NBA coaches are still using opponent PPG as their main defensive KPI .

I know for a fact every NBA analyst and anchor use that stat. Idiots.

Now, let’s dig just a tiny bit deeper and see what we’re trying to accomplish on defense. First, it’s paramount that we do not allow fastbreak points. Those occur when you take ill-advised shots or turn the ball over. Conversely, taking good shots within the flow of the offense usually gives you a good chance to grab an offensive rebound or at the very least to get back and set up your defense.

He'll fit right in.
