re: Watford is a total liability on defense.

Like I said you’re just a pathetic liar. Thanks for proving it.

Well you’ve proven you’re a liar so you continuing to make stuff up and lie really isn’t a surprise. Still no link? That’s what I thought.


Oh and BTW I have more season tickets than your entire family put together bitch, come see next time.

And as expected you continue to melt and show just what a lowlife you are. Phony fans like you always throw fits when they’re called out. Maybe one day your trailer park will win a ticket lottery and you can come to the PMAC. Let me know if it happens so I can greet you when you get there.

You’re the one melting down saying we aren’t trying some secret defense that Wade is holding back. Everything we’ve tried has been abused. We don’t do one thing on defense will.

Wrong that’s not what I’m saying. And I’ve already given examples of things we should be trying that you can easily do within a man to man D that we’ve never tried.

If you’ve watched this team all year, you can see that our problem is penetration against our guards, causing the defense to collapse resulting in an open thick out 3 or layup that has been out problem. Watford isn’t great, but his defensive mistakes aren’t the biggest problem.

It takes all 5 players playing together to play good defense. If one player, like Watford for instance, leaves his man wide open when the ball gets passed around, other players have to rotate over to try and pick up that open man, leaving their man open because they can't guard both of them. Watford has a problem with losing who he's responsible for and sagging off of him, usually towards the basket, way too much. Now this helps him get more rebounds, but it doesn't help the team play better defense. He is waaaaay to slow and lazy on close outs. Now he's usually having to guard a smaller faster player, so he backs off so he doesn't get burnt on a drive. However, what's good about putting a bigger defender on a shooter if you're not going to use that length to make them shoot over you. He must close out better, or don't leave them as open to begin with.

Mays is actually the bigger defensive liability. He simply cannot stop dribble penetration.

So sit him.

Skylar is the glue that holds this team together. Collectively we play bad defense. Mays may have deficiencies but he’s not alone and, without him, we’re not sniffing .500.
