    How the Warriors Ball Movement is Breaking Defenses | HHT 34 Part II

    On the second part of the thirty-fourth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, XJ and Geoff break down the impressive start of the 6-1 Golden State Warriors. They analyze how the team doubling down on fast-paced, ball-movement-heavy basketball is paying off, even with Steph Curry missing a few games. The Warriors lead the league in key passing and assist metrics, and they’re tapping into one of the league’s deepest rosters, with 13 players averaging double-digit minutes. Next, the focus shifts to Buddy Hield, who’s having an explosive season averaging 31 points per 75 possessions on 71% true shooting. XJ and Geoff explain why Hield’s game fits perfectly with Golden State’s style and why he might be a missing ingredient in their high-speed offense. Tune in as the duo explores why the Warriors are doubling down on their strengths and what this could mean for the rest of the season!

    Embracing a New Identity Will Unlock the Knicks' and Lakers' Potential | HHT 33

    In the thirty-third episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, XJ and Geoff dive into the Knicks' relatively slow start to the season. The duo break down how the team's current shot diet is unsustainable and make the case for a shift to a team identity that emphasizes more ball movement, spacing, and three-point shooting—a style that better aligns with their roster and could unlock their potential. Plus, Geoff and XJ turn their focus to the Lakers and explore how JJ Redick is helping to reshape their identity around dynamic player and ball movement, potentially rebalancing the focus away from LeBron. The two make the case that this de-emphasis of LeBron-driven offense will benefit the Lakers in the long run. Join us as we unpack these two teams' evolving playstyles and what it could mean for their seasons ahead!
