One of my favorite movies is Draft Day.

Wait, your all-time favorite movie is Draft Day?

If I catch it on TV, it does stop me in my tracks. Thinking Basketball Podcast, my name is Ben.

Welcome back to another episode.

Today, something a little different I asked Mo Dociel to come by and really add an X's

and O's coaching video perspective to the conversation about these four teams in the Eastern Conference.

Of course we talk a lot about stats and analytics on this podcast, but as you know,

I am a huge proponent of marrying data and measurements to the context and

information that they live in and sometimes we can be very short on the X's

and O side or how stuff fits together from a schematic or coaching standpoint.

And Mo has a tremendous background in this area.

He spent eight years as the Los Angeles Clipper's video coordinator,

another three years with the Spurs,

three more years with the men's national team in Australia, including an Olympic

bid.

So Mo is really a guy I've been trying to get on to talk about the game from this

perspective and we go through the four teams got a bunch of interesting nuggets in

this conversation and at a few points I will pause and interject some of the stats we were talking about.

But otherwise here is my conversation with Mo Doc Heel.

Hope you guys enjoy it.

Mo, thanks so much for coming on.

Oh, Ben, thank you for having me man.
