Coach Carlisle and center Myles Turner walk together up Madison Square Garden’s circular ramp to the event level, talking about music and their lives off the court. Carlisle saw five-time Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper, a jazz musician and fellow pianist, the night before at the Blue Note in Manhattan. As the pair walked up the ramp, Carlisle asked Turner if he knew of Glasper. Turner wasn’t familiar with his music but told Carlisle he would definitely check him out. “I greatly admire Myles Turner as a guy who has wide-ranging and eclectic taste in music,” Carlisle said. “When he has his music plugged into the sound system in the weight room, you will hear everything from rap to R&B; to country and even Taylor Swift.”

Pacers have been exploiting the Knicks inside and out. And the balance has been huge.
They’ve hit a season-high 17 3s after Myles Turner just hit two in a row. And the starters account for 15 of 17.
Pacers up 7 with 4:50 to go. – 7:18 PM

Knicks’ last six FGs have all been layups, including three in a row while Towns is out. They’ve scored 16 of their first 23pts in the paint, prompting Rick Carlisle to call timeout.
This could be an ongoing theme while the Pacers lack depth at center, and w/o top two defenders. – 5:28 PM

“There’s a lot of versatility on our staff,” Boucek said. “We have roles for the sake of order, but none of us are insecure about crossover. If Lloyd grabs a guy I watch film with, I know we’re aligned. Throughout the season, a player’s needs may change a little bit. If somebody wants to work on their shooting, Jim may throw them over to me, and I’ll work with them a little bit. We know each other well and have been together a while.” “Jenny Boucek is the only female on the front of an NBA bench who’s also a coordinator and is one of a select few who could become the NBA’s first female head coach someday,” Carlisle told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / November 12, 2024
For the coaches, communicating with each other on the sideline is easier than relaying messages to the players during the game due to the crowd noise and constant player movement on the court. “We don’t have a green dot on a helmet,” Weinar told HoopsHype, referring to how NFL coordinators can speak to players in their helmets. “There’s no communication like that or cards on the side with lineups and things like that. We have to do it fast, and we have to be aligned and affirmative.” -via HoopsHype / November 12, 2024
“We’re using analytics a lot more to figure out tendencies so that when we’re deciding our coverages, we’re using the numbers and probabilities of what’s going to happen because there is so much randomness in the game today,” Boucek explained. “We’re trying to get ahead of the randomness with some probabilities and be as predictive as we can on coverages because there are no more absolutes anymore.” -via HoopsHype / November 12, 2024
