I remember the play you mentioned, though.
That was, imo of course, a very high IQ play by Bilodeau. He "saw' the pathway he was creating for Dent, and was clever enough to do the needful AND not get called for a foul.
(I have a rant to come about screens... wait for it)
The play I was referencing was the Bruins 1st possession of the 2nd half... maybe you can revisit it on peacock.
Ok, my rant.... let me know how you feel about this.
1. Yes, I agree, there are WAY too many moving screens that setters are getting away with. Especially in the nba. Those instances are easy to spot, because they look like pass blocking in football. Defender moves to his left and setter moves to his right, effectively shadowing the defender. Who's playing "defense" here?
2. Here's the situation that I HATE: a big guy (250+ pound center) plants himself halfway between the top of the 3 arc and the half court line. The guy with the ball sees his guy establishing a pillar. Like any smart ball handler, his intent is going to be to manipulate his defender so that he scrapes off the "pillar" so tightly that the on ball defender smashes into "the pillar" and wrecks his shiit (his, not the pillar's). With any luck, he gives himself a concussion when he crashes into "the pillar"... and fvck that guy who didn't shout out the screen being set. (J/k)
But here's what happens: the OBD falls apart like a little b!tch, and he flops like a Euro on his cycle. The pillar doesn't move an inch. He's 250+...he's anchored... his shoes are somehow screwed into the floor. And the OBD is 150, max.
But because the OBD fall down, go boom, get owie, cry cry... the ref calls a foul on the pillar. Give me a fvcking break. Just because you fell down when you ran into me does NOT mean I committed a foul.
