Layups: Anatomy of the ’09 Blazers Offense
Posted by Neil Paine on September 3, 2009
From Blazers Edge, a very interesting and detailed post about the Portland offense a year ago. At first glance it seems a bit dissimilar to the stat stuff we do here (there are a lot of Xs and Os, play diagramming, and game-film analyses involved), but in the end you'll see that it's not really that different at all -- good analysis is good analysis, no matter what approach it takes... Because we're all about allowing ourselves to pause for a moment and acknowledging that the owl's claws are the same ones that once drew blood from the shoulder of Pallas.

Anyone who is interested in the strategy of the game and hasn't visited this link yet really should. A tremendous break down of how the Blazer's played last year and what Andre Miller may mean to them this year using a ton of clips in the explanations. Also the Watchmen quote is a nice read.

What can you say, I had to squeeze a Watchmen reference into the blog somehow. :)
