Celtics broadcast analyst Brian Scalabrine had a long NBA career as a reserve, has coached, and is a veteran analyst.
He tends not to be repetitive and is reasonably objective for the genre.
Pre-game. "Can the Kings take their high-powered offense on the road?" (Implied...at the top of the food chain are teams that beat good teams away from their barn.)
- Attack the paint (Celtics stopped in the second quarter).
- Don't lose the cutters.
- Pressure Sabonis (Sabonis prospered in the second quarter).
"Every player is a threat to do everything - shoot it, drive, pass..."
"Sabonis doesn't have a ton of lift...but is very good at keeping the ball high."
"A trip is supposed to be an automatic foul in the NBA."
"Jaylen Brown just overpowers Kevin Huerter."
"It is different (offense) when you go on the road."
"You can take up the space (with your shoulder) but you can't extend the arm."
"What makes them good is spacing, shooting, passing, and cutting." (on the Kings)
"I'm surprised Joe didn't burn a timeout. That's three bad defensive possessions."
"You gotta right the ship on your own." (instead of relying on timeouts)
"Attack, move, extra pass...(Sacramento)"
"Outscored 18-2 in the paint in the second quarter." (SAC comeback)
Lagniappe. Crean on making teammates better.
Throw passes the way you would want them thrown to you.

Defend the way you hate to be defended.
Hit people on block outs the way that you hate to get hit.
Be the teammate you wish you had when you need a boost of confidence and energy.
