WIN THE POSSESSIONS!!
First, before I get into what The Possession Report is all about, let me wish you and your players the absolute best this upcoming season.
The team that wins the most possessions, offensive or defensive, will win the game!!
WILL WIN THE GAME!!
A tool we built: PBiR.
PlayBack Intelligence.
I want to show you what it can do for your staff over an eighty-two game season.
Everybody in this league has numbers.
The question is what those numbers are telling you.
The box score counts what happened. Playback Intelligence grades what it was worth.
Every player, graded on one consistent scale.
If it helps the possession, it adds value. If it hurts, it takes value away.
Every make and every miss. Every rebound, assist, steal and block. Every turnover and foul. Possession by possession.
Western Conference Finals. Game 7.
The deeper team won.
San Antonio 111, Oklahoma City 103.
The Spurs won the three-point line by fifteen points.
They led for ninety-two percent of the game.
Nineteen fast-break points to seven.
Plus 110 to plus 108.
That’s how close it really was.
Two points of value between two great teams, in a game seven.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Plus forty-five.
And his team lost.
Thirty-five points, nine assists.
Line the two rotations up, rank for rank.
The best player lost the matchup war.
Oklahoma City wins the very top. San Antonio wins more slots down the lineup, five to four.
The depth battle.
The back half of the rotation decided game seven.
The Spurs bench was plus forty-two, to plus fifteen.
Graded minute by minute.
When the game turned, and who turned it.
Every possession, every player, every quarter.
The same engine grades your next opponent.
Your staff walks into preparation with it already organized.
Who produces for them. Who gives the ball away. Where they win possessions and where they lose them.
Every team, and every player in the league, with a PBiR score.
See where your team stands. See where your players stand.
Look up any player in the league, and compare any two, head to head.
The private home for your whole staff.
In one secure place.
Your reports, your messages, your calendar and your files, in one secure place, for the people you invite.
Your Team Board. Your messages.
Everything connected, nothing scattered.
And you decide who sees what.
Recap’s in the locker. Before walkthrough, everybody reads the second-half page — the game turned on a 6-possession stretch and I want us all naming the same stretch. Bigs: check the second-chance column.
Read it. That stretch was the two dead-ball turnovers — I own both. Fixing it today.
The next scout drops in the morning. Their value runs through the paint — the scouting report shows where it leaks. Guards, the pressure page is yours.
$999 a month, month to month.
Eighty-two games, every possession graded.
Every player on one scale.
In the final analysis, it doesn’t cost you anything.
It saves you possessions. It saves you games. It can save your season.
Let’s go win some possessions!
