Outside Isolation is probably similar to what the Cavs played last year and Miami played before THE DECISON.

My question is who do they decide to isolate. The PG, SG, SF?
Same for inside isolaton.

So Here is the summary:

I lost by a bunch. I TIEd the game and rested some of my better players. Here is my summary of INSIDE ISOLATION.

First Shot distribution:
PG 13.5 17.5%
SG 20.5 26.6%
SF 9 11.7%
PF 17.5 22.7%
C 16.5 21.4%

As you can see about 43% of the shots came from PF and C. About 20% of my shots were 3 points. This is way higher than look inside.

Assist by Position
PG 4.5 26.5%
SG 3.5 20.6%
SF 3 17.6%
PF 2.5 14.7%
C 3.5 20.6%

I think you PF an C are passing out the ball more. Making Assist more equal.

TO's by position:
PG 7.5 30.0%
SG 3.5 14.0%
SF 5 20.0%
PF 3.5 14.0%
C 5.5 22.0%

I am not sure I trust this stat since My PG normally takes care of the ball well. But the number of TO's for Inside players is up from other games.

Reb by position
PG 3 12.0%
SG 3 12.0%
SF 11 44.0%
PF 16 64.0%
C 10 40.0%

It seems I did not rebound as well as normal. I am not sure what to attribute this to. This super small sample does indicate you need great inside reb.

Summary:

PF and C should be stars to effectively run the offense. You need not only great scorers and rebounders, but passing is very important. This offense is designed for all around PF and C. If you do not have the skills necessary, the offense will expose your weaknesses. The offense is ran by the PF and C, with them passing out to try and get open shots. It does lead to more 3 pt attempts than other inside based offenses and can help to cover up weaker players on the outside. I would love to see other results to help increase the sample size. I will keep playing this style in PL games to get a better sample.


Comparing to last season, It seems as though I shot way more 3 pts this game. Last season 11% of my shots were 3s. However, the spike could be due to the fact that I was down the whole game.

how do you get all those info from just your games thats like... wow

Well you've used "Inside Isolation" so obviously most of the shots will be taken by your big-men.

I wanted to look at more than just shot distribution. The interesting thing is that I shot way more 3pt with inside iso than I did with look inside. Also, the strength of my guard is passing doesn't appear to be used well in this offense.

Further more stats are king!

The idea of isolation is that the best players are given the ball and they have to create shots. This would mean that success is less dependant on passing.

I imagine, though have no stats to back it up, that driving would be a key skill for isolation.

Hopefully the Parrot can get some data and include it into his Coach Parrot tool soon.

Inside isolation: Orlando Magic or Raptors when bosh was still around, with a dominant Inside player to post up or drive and when double team comes, he kicks it out.

Outside isolation: A player who can drive and finish or dish it out like Derrick Rose is doing now.
