Honestly Niko ain't that bad defensively.

He did well for the most part on those switches tonight. I hate when he gives up an easy and 1 though...

Pau just gives up a lot in the toughness department when he's out there. And to me it wouldn't matter if he came off the bench or not, he would still be getting pushed around out there. Who didn't think that Drum was going to get off tonight against Pau tonight?

He did well on the offensive end for sure, but I'm not the type to ignore the flaws on the defensive end. Pau gave up 10+ extra shots tonight, that is unacceptable. As long as Pau is starting, this team is not getting past Lebron....let alone winning a championship.

We wasn't doing that with Noah starting

We wasn't doing that with a hobbled Noah starting

This whole double vision is so blown out of proportion



I seriously doubt he's literally seeing double. Don't like it being an excuse

 

[#1 pick]

And the reason why rebounding was a huge problem was because the bigs were out on the perimeter guarding their wings & guards due to all of the switching.

We had the same problem v. DET. What they do a great job of his spacing, add Drummond being ORL-Dwight and they are really hard to defend and keep off the boards.

 

[#1 pick]

problem is no one could guard Reggie and he's not even a top PG

if PGs realize they can just take the ball down the middle everry possession we are gonna be fukked

Thibs defense prevented alot of that penetration and we've taken a huge stepback if this game is any evidence

furthermore the offense didn't look quite as good, still mired with bad passing...

Naw, Drummond is the problem, most PG's in the NBA can't be guarded one v. one but Drummond size and he finally I can't believe I am saying this BBIQ is quite good. He's putting himself in good situations and it's opening up the court for everyone else around him especially Jackson. They are using Jackson like ORL used Jameer w/ D12. Ersan's versatility and spacing makes it hard as well because if you leave him open, he will kill you but their biggest strength is Marcus Morris. That dude is a fukking problem. He's the size of an undersized PF but is a SF with range. Their not last year's Pistons. This team is really good.

I hear what you're saying and agreed regarding 1 on 1 guarding of the PG, but Reggie Jackson was deep in the lnae at will. That's not suppose to happen, Thins would have prevented that and Hoibergs defense is looking shaky.

Still earlier but they haven't clicked on offense either

Yall rewlly underestimating reggie jackson

Hes one of the best pnr pgd in the league and hes the size of an undersized sg goingbagainst guys who underestimate this snd dont scout him

Drummond is the key but reggie was literally brought her as a complimentary piece to dre

if it was just pnr, i wouldn't be too upset

i saw reggie getting in the lane without the pick (although, I might be over-exaggerating) , but at least it felt like dude was just passing people by left and right and doing whatever he wanted

 

[Loot_Gingrich]

I think it's several things going on.
1) Rose doesn't have his legs yet and is playing lazy on defense
2) Too much switching defensively leading to penetration
3) Pau cannot help defend and Jo can't score
4) Jo has a tendency to pass to the opposing team
5) New offensive/defensive systems take time to learn. Probably will take 15-20ish games before we see any consistency.

As it stands now, this team is just soft in the paint and that will be our achilles heal unless Noah can become dominant again (not getting my hopes up).

I'm just thanking white jesus that we lucked out with Portis We can take comfort in knowing the next starting center is right there on our bench.
