PELICANS defensive mistakes vs. ROCKETS | December 23, 2023

Herb Jones is trying to ice this screen then I got to get up up up now where’s Valen chunis because they’re trying to keep Fred Van Vleet towards the sidelines but herb Jones can you can’t let Fred Van vet come off the screen because Valen Tunis is coming over to

Ice the screen look at this you’re not getting up enough so now van there’s no one there V van B comes off the screen draw two sangon this happens twice this really just drives me up a wall Brandon Ingram is going be late getting under multiple

Screens in this game okay first first of all volen chunis needs to get up if you’re going under okay I’m going to jam the screener so that Brandon Ingram has space to get under this screen like Brandon Ingram it’s taking way too long for you get on this screen so now CJ

McCollum comes to double right here okay so now we got to rotate C.J mccallum’s coming to double Zion Williams is gonna rotate down to Dylan Brooks herb Jones got to be the one to rotate to the wing right here and then McCollum will then come up and that doesn’t happen either

But why is Brandon Ingram late getting under screens again ah yes this is a staple of the Willie Green coached Pelicans why is Willie Green an NBA head coach what a disgrace and donon Collins disaster hedge this screen I have to have backside Al for sangon I can get it if I

Hedge this screen right there okay but you run drop coverage you have no backside help it’s just right in the lane drop it to S goon in the paint Brandon Ingram is late getting underneath this screen again so Naji Marshall in help here ban chunis has got

To stay home on sangon that you got three people surrounding the ball it’s not Alvarado’s coming to help on sangon Zion Williamson is switching the screen then I got to be up leveled Jeff Green setting the screen so I’m ready to guard look at Zion Williamson you’re not

Up level to the screener so now I’m coming uphill as Jaylen Green’s about to get get downhill and blow by me Jeremiah Robinson Earl rotates down and is able to help Trey Murphy in the post right here so if you’re Naji Marshall you’re not a part of any of

This so I got to be seeing ball and man all right like why is Naji Marshall staring at somebody else helping so pry Murphy is about to come double right here he’s going to double so Valen chunis all he’s got to do is not give up Baseline force him into this help and

Then you just rotate over from once that dribble gets picked up but look at this alpren tangon takes one dribble and you’re just immediately letting him spin Baseline so now the help never gets there bad transition defense first of all Jonas Valen chuna should be sprinting back I don’t know why he’s

Standing and then walking but herb Jones is not getting to Jeff Green he’s late so right now I gotta be communicating to Trey Murphy okay take Jeff Green I’m gonna go to Jabari Smith but herb Jones Never is communicating this so all that happens now is that Trey Murphy’s got to

Guard two people because you never went to Jabari Smith catch and shoot three so this would be a lot easier if Brandon Ingram would just get in a defensive stance with his feet set and be in the gaps right here he can stunt and recover okay so Brandon Ingram’s not

Going to do that for whatever reason so Dion Daniels comes to double okay cool we’re gonna have to rotate now Trey Murphy’s not even seeing the ball I gotta rotate to Van vet okay and then we’re just rotate everybody else rotates from there but you double you don’t

Rotate Willie Green’s the coach though here’s Zion Williamson you chase over the top of the screen and then you’re going to show off of Fred Van vet what does zion Williamson do nicely up the gut catch and shoot three Zion Williamson does not need to get beneath

The free throw line here if I’m above the elbow right here I’m still in the gaps right so if alpr sangon comes to the middle of floor I can dig and recover but you’re going to come all the way beneath the free throw line okay so

I mean you might as well just go double yourself anyways because you are doubling but Brandon Ingram’s going to have to rotate and then everybody else is going to have to rotate from there once that drib gets picked up but you don’t rotate so it’s just catch and

Shoot doubling from the Baseline is not going to do anything if sangon is already in the paint let’s Force sangon to the middle of the floor where Zion can then double again right here this is where your double team’s got to come and then again you just rotate from there

Once that dribble gets picked up but I mean you’re trying to double from the Baseline well s goon in the paint it doesn’t and Jaylen Green’s wide open because nobody rotated also you’re Jeremiah Robinson Earl just get up battle for position with sangon I look at what sangon is going to do

You’re going to three quarters the post here you have no backside help so now when sangon catches this ball I have no ability now I can’t force him to the middle of the floor right here where I have help he’s just gonna be able to rip through because I’m still trying to

Recover and he’s right in the paint and that’s terrible Fred Van vet’s dribbles picked up could Zion Williamson just recovered to Dylan Brooks and guard why does he have to gamble here you gamble and don’t get it so now Dylan Brooks can get it and go draw help and now sang goons

Open Pelicans are just getting outworked here the shot goes up right now could Brandon Ingram go box out by the way could niji Marshall rotate down and box out alrin sangun could Jeremiah Robinson Earl box out you have nobody boxing out so it’s is just a free-for-all underneath the rim again you’re just

Getting out worked here Jeremiah Robinson Earl and Trey Murphy boxing out you got to use the lower half of your bodyx to move those Rockets players out of the paint you’re just standing straight up here by the way could Jeremiah Robinson Earl box out after the contest I mean again it’s just Rockets

Everywhere underneath the rim CJ McCollum is coming over in the gaps here to help if you’re Dyson Daniels just show your hands you have help CJ mccollum’s come to help you yet you are gambling and not showing your hands so now J Shawn Tate’s in the the

Paint you have no help and that’s two you have to switch this hand off right here there’s there’s no choice other than to switch so Jeremiah Robinson Earl like I’m immediately switching onto Fred Van vet and Brandon Ingram’s immediately switching on to sangon there’s nothing to think about here you have to switch

This why is Jeremiah Robinson Earl what if Brandon Ingram is going to double from the Baseline then you might as well just get all the way over there you want to block alprin sanon’s Vision right there you want to make these passes to the weak side of the floor as

Difficult as possible CJ mccollum’s got to rotate down to Dylan Brooks and then you’re going to leave van Ved on the weak side Wing but I mean Brandon Ingram doesn’t double just stands in the middle of nowhere and CJ McCollum doesn’t rotate so again it’s just rip and go terrible one-on-one defense from

Jeremiah Robinson Earl get up get up on alprin sangon he’s not going to beat you off the dribble so I’m up pressing up guarding him look at this look at Jeremiah you have help everywhere too but look at Jeremiah Robinson Earl you just back look at this elpr zon just

Catches it and gets in the lane it’s it’s terrible and this is literally the game here Zion Williamson loses his shoe all right then you’re gonna have to play without a shoe and just guard and maybe you can hide yourself somewhere but look at this Zion Williamson goes to pick his

Shoe up there’s 40 seconds left and now the Rockets have a five on four

Rockets 106 – Pelicans 104
