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.
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.

Like, I can explain why we switch so easily and allow those types of mismatches when we are on defense. There is a reason for that, and I get it and it has worked for 2 seasons. Meaning, we switch because if you try to fight over screens that more easily allows for guys to get to the rim and either get shots at the rim or kick outs for 3. We take that away by switching and that is one of the reasons why we don't give up many shots at the rim.
Like it or not(it works, so I can't complain), I see the vision.
But when we're on offense, I simply do not see the vision or the reason why we would never or rarely ever hunt a mismatch...it just makes no sense.
