If you're consistently late, they adjust. Gotta switch it up, keep them confused. It has worked before.

I thought they counted it early to try to get the other team to rush a shot, making it more likely they'll miss?

Yep that's one way, the other way is to start counting late to make them think they have more time than they do, causing them to get a violation, which is what we did earlier in this game.

I think they're doing it right...I've always heard starting it at 13 or so and counting 6-5-4-3. Not sure what you mean about doing it "late".

Start at 10 with 8 seconds left to trick them into a shot clock violation.

When there's five seconds to go, start counting down from ten.

I thought it was going to go in. Gotta just take it in, they aren't hitting from the outside, might have to just pull away from the line today.

By LeVert there, not settling for the three. The shots are just not going in from outside. Now is the time to pound it inside

Because of one three? I'd say Walton has played pretty well and can penetrate much better. I'm really glad we've got both of them.

These whistles are starting to get a bit out of control. Crawford fell down and Horford happened to be in the area, so it was a foul. Come on.

If he consistently hits the baseline face up shot, that would be huge for our offense this season. Another great game by him today.

Horford's starting to develop a solid mid-range game. Nice jumper there, made a few against Minni. If he can develop that and be a viable offensive option that goes a long way to filling in for Mitch

That could be nice but it would benefit the team more if he starts to move his feet much better on defense and stays out of foul trouble. He committed fouls pretty much every time he was isolated in the second half.

Are we really averaging more assists than last year, like the announcer said? That's pretty incredible given that we had the top-ranked offense in the country last year.
