So I watched the condensed version. I’m trying to figure out why they went away from the game 1 and 2 strategy of Rudy on AG and KAT on Joker. Karl doesn’t have the discipline to guard AG. He can brute force it against Joker’s post ups but AG is way too crafty and smart for Karl. If the Nuggets way to combat the press is to have AG bring the ball up, then stop that pressing shyt lmao. Why would you want Rudy on him in space? Why wasn’t this like immediately corrected? We have been hounds on defense all season and didn’t do any of that shyt in the regular season to split the series with them. KAT on AG doesn’t work because he’s an idiot who does not understand helping on Joker is typically bad. Coaches need to hammer that shyt in or get him off the fukking court man.
Put KAT on Joker, stop fukking pressing all game, especially when Gordon is bringing the ball up, because that does nothing but confuse poor retarded Karl-Anthony. He’ll have Ant picking up Joker all fukking game because he won’t know what the hell is going on. KAT has been doing a better job than anyone else when just playing Joker straight up. Like Joker gonna get his 30 but playing everyone straight up, better chances he doesn’t let other people get going. How do we play these guys 4 times a year and in the playoffs these past 2 seasons, won 2 playoff games employing that strategy, then just get completely shook by a bad whistle?
I mean I would be okay with the game if that’s the score it was at the half and these dudes were going hard and dealing with foul issues. But I think maybe like one person had 3 fouls at half if that. There has to be more aggression on defense, I don’t give a fukk. You left these dudes sore after games 1 and 2, pause; did the whistle in game 3 scare you that fukking much? Come on man. I thought Finch and the coaching crew had grown up but I also thought KAT has grown up. So maybe the actual retard isn’t them…..
