Can one of you bball smarties explain what’s wrong with our D? I mean something more than “it sucks” - cause, you know, i see that.
I see two things:
1. We're often slow-afoot. Offensive players are beating us to their spot. We have to be fast/quick and cut them off. Force them to go the other way, and into help defense.
2. As a principle, we generally don't switch on screen-and-rolls. (Notice that our guards are constantly trying to slide around the screen.) If I'm the other coach and I see that, I just keep setting screens. There's no way a defensive team can force their way through every screen my offensive guys set. Eventually, someone's going to break free --- either the guy with the ball or the roller.
