TREE POD: Playoffs, Draft, and Offseason

Post by **pacers** » August 6th, 2024, 6:31 pm

Our first tree pod (minus Jordo). Walkup song fail really sets the tone for the following 80 minutes. We talk through the playoffs, the draft, get some Jesse wisdom, and do our best to go through the offseason highlights in every division. Yes we're on Soundcloud now.

Jesse: “I’m sure you would”

Sums up my trading since I joined

Re: Inside v Balanced

I 100% agree with Tonger and have thought for a while that balanced is the worst offensive option. Think in balanced you dont get the benefit of fouling out opposing bigs /getting to the line while simultaneously tanking your 3pt volume. Think it is particularly bad because FBB seems to naturally inflate league 3p % while deflating fg %. Inside only works well because you get a HUGE increase in opponent fouls per game.

Tyler should move McCants and become inside lord

I haven’t listened to pod yet so not really arguing anything but just noting that I ran balanced for most of the season, drew plenty of fouls and won a ton of games (and once we got TP in there the FG% trended back up in a good way). I think the problem with inside is it totally neuters your guard usage which requires very specific personnel (elite bigs) for that to be remotely worthwhile
