sure that may work over the span of 82 games in the regular season.
And it worked.
But you can't change that style entirely once the playoffs start. And flip side, you can't not do that during the regular season because then you don't even make the playoffs.
It is what it is. We don't have good defenders.

You have to make adjustments or you'll just get swept.
If SGA starts scoring on CJ switches at will, then you have to throw a double at him.
And as i said before, stop letting the switch happen automatically and make them earn it. If CJ's man goes set a screen 35' out, then Herb needs to go under it and stay with SGA, simple as that. You don't have to switch just b/c it's the defensive strategy every single time. Just be smarter about it.

Yep...it's actually rather amazing how well our overall defense has held up this season. The "total" has far exceeded the sum of the "parts". Willie (or whomever else we want to give the credit) has done an excellent job of molding this crew of numerous sub-par defenders into a solid unit.
This lack of individual talent defensively is why I continuously harp on the fact that the Pels desperately need Dyson Daniels to develope into a full-time player at some point next season. He is FAR more important, than most folks realize.

No, but for a team's final possession with the game tied, you should have Herb on SGA at all times.
