We need to get BI opportunities with any other defender on him.

We just don't do this.

Obviously I don't watch other teams as much as the Pels but watch a decent amount, and I've yet to find the team who just does not hunt mismatches like we do/don't.


Even when Zion was there, how often would we find the smallest dude on the other team and run a screen to force a switch then give the ball to Zion with that dude on him? It just doesn't happen.


Think about the last play of the game, we screen with Trey and we get a switch...for what? We just switched to an elite defender guarding CJ...what was the point of that?


I'm pretty sure SGA was in the corner guarding Herb, so why not have Herb set the screen and get SGA on CJ for the iso?

What was the specific purpose of Trey setting that screen?

we do not, and it's infuriating to me.

It's not just the coaching, it's the players as well. If you ever see JV with anyone other than the opposing 5 on him down low, you stop everything you're doing and get him the ball. No different if it was Zion with a guard on him down low. Stop whatever the play was supposed to be and get him the ball asap before the defense switches a big back on them. Saw that happened last night where Giddy was on JV and he's hollering for the ball, and CJ had the ball on the same wing as JV and dribbled to the top of the key to set up a play, and by that point Chet switched back onto him.

Spot on. I just don’t understand this. It seems like Basketball 101. Every team does this, but I never see the Pels do it. It’s infuriating.
