Nice plan. I would think he is supposed to take the guard on then the weak side defender takes vooch’s man and everybody else rotates. No, yes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s why Kemba and Lillard roast us almost everytime... they come off screens with no one there. https://twitter.com/thelando__/status/1104983581443739648?s=21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're giving up mid range shots in order to avoid making Vuc defend on the perimeter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wade wasn't suppose to be an allstar this season, but he made it in because of another player's injury? During the all-star game, I remember the analysts saying that it had been done before (in the past). No, they added 2 spots for Dirk, and Wade. Russel got in because of the injury to Oladipo.

But any way you cut it, Wade (and Dirk) were not suppose to be there except for giving them a free pass. You talk about making exceptions to the rules. By the way, on a couple of websites, people were saying that while there are rumors of Dirk retiring, they have not heard Dirk say it. I just read where owner, Mark Cuban isn't sure that Dirk is retiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the perimeter is the free throw line? Come on that is either a horrible design or zero effort by vuch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That response from ?4thewin is a head scratcher for me too. When has Vuch ever defended on the perimeter? I got it . . .sarcasm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you misunderstand me? There's a few different philosophies of how to defend a pick and roll. Icing, blitzing, switching, or dropping. We drop. The Spurs execute better than we do in both phases but the general philosophy is forcing guys into off the dribble mid range jumpers which are the least efficient shots in the game. The on ball defenders need to fight harder over the screen and vucevic needs to shepherd the defender into position instead of retreating to his spot but it's been mostly effective for us this year as we're pretty average at defending the pick and roll.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 I think once vucevic is off the team we'll switch in some situations but we'll have all the personnel to blitz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks ?4thewin for the video, clearing up the pnr. I have watched pick n rolls but I didn't know there were different versions of it. It made my head hurt watching the videos. (For you guys it's easy--I mean understanding what's happening). :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
