In Episode 12 of The Help Side Basketball Coaching and Analytics podcast we catch up with what happened on the Christmas Day NBA games. We talk about contenders in both the East and the West and then of course we talk LeBron. Lebron has been hurt, and while hurt, he called himself the GOAT. In the analytics section we talk about the play run by Northern Kentucky where they started all 5 guys out of bounds on their own baseline. We also talk about thinking about and designing your own plays. Finally, in the strategy session we talk about subbing during free throws and how that can be an effective way to control the pace of the game after a made free throw.
