Pels allow 50ppg in the paint. 15th in the NBA

And the top 10 is giving up 48.8ppg or less.
I don’t think rim protection is the biggest culprit right now. We just don’t seem as active on D as we were earlier in the season. Our guys aren’t clogging lanes or rotating correctly.
The PnR is killing us, like it has been all season.

Its rarely ever just one thing.
But our rim protection is not great.
Also we tend to have a lot of mental lapses in getting back on D, rotating, and knowing your personnel(guys love to cling to non-shooters or over commit, then randomly forget about the 40% shooter hanging out in the corner)
We also tend to turn the ball over at terrible times
And those turnovers are typically bad, we are the 8th worst team in allowing points off turnovers. 16th at getting points off turnovers.
We also are playing spotty at best offense, which means a lot less balls going through the hoop and the other team playing against a poorly set defense.
We have a number of bigs that get eaten alive in the PnR(JV most notably, Billy not great either, Zion below average trending to average)

Our offense should be played from the inside out. We actually don’t play through JV enough.

It’s like our guys are afraid to let Jonas get his touches. He is unstoppable against certain teams in the league.

Why our D sucks.
No rim protection.
Larry is only big that can move.
We take a lot of bad shots that lead to long rebounds and fastbreaks.
How many times have you seen CJ, Jose, BI take a contested jumper that clangs off the back of the rim into the hands of an opponent at full speed heading toward the other basket? Too many.
And the number of lazy arse passes we make is infuriating.
CJ and Larry are the worst at this. Like literally they just throw half speed passes to the other team.
BI, Naji, Jose and Dyson also force bounce passes in the lane that are high degree of difficulty and low reward. Most of the time, even if our guy gets them, he's got nowhere to go.
So like others have said, it's not just D but also offense that puts us in a bad position.

How much off ball movement is happening when they take contested jumpers? Not enough.

The offense is abysmal which results to transition buckets for opposing teams. Willie better get that shite sorted out or he’s gone
