Need to more awareness from AD and Asik on those baseline cuts to the basket. both looked lost for most of the game on help defense.

Running them off the line is definitely your best strategy and it generally worked in the first game. the wide open layups to the basket is what killed us.

But once again, pels have to get Bogut out of the paint or out of the game. Anderson is the key to this.

All of this, if this doesn't happen we will get swept. Asik does not need to see more than 10 minutes a game. He is not a good match up for GS. He is an offense liability and they are able to basically double up AD.

Help defense sounds good in theory vs a team like GS. We looked bad in that aspect much like every team GS plays.

Anderson may make sense to draw bogut out. But bogut is underrated offensively. He's going to back Anderson or AD down. Also the last thing we need is bogut to grab offensive boards giving them 2nd chance points.

Why not anjica? He can stretch bogut and still provide better defense and rebounding.
