PACERS defensive mistakes vs. MAGIC | December 23, 2023

Tyrese Halbert and you got to stay low you got to battle Paulo banero he’s at the three-point line you’re already committing to fronting the post well first of all you have no backside help that’s a problem and then when Wendell Carter Jr flashes to the free throw line

Right here any hope you had a backside help goes away so now it’s just pass over the top two what are you doing about this down screen you got to defend this first okay so OB be to I would probably show so fron vogner can’t curl and Andrew nart

Has time to get over the top of the down screen but the Pacers do nothing so how you going to defend this handoff here nard is still trying to fight over the top of the down screen so frown vogner’s in the lane draw help no one’s boxing

Out it’s a cross screen right here if you’re Benedict Maan I’m attached to Gary Harris the entire time now when Vagner comes through I’m GNA Jam him knock him off a spot but I’m still attached to Gary Harris you become unattached to Gary Harris so now he’s just going to flare to the

Three-point transition if you’re Tyrese halber just get back you’re not worried about the ball when it’s across the other side of the floor but you’re staring at the ball right here as opposed to getting back so the Pacers switch this screen right here so if first of all Jaylen

Smith’s goingon to get up the line he’s going to be in the gaps he’s going to be able to help you in the middle of the floor but you must get up you’ve got to start battling banero now and force him to the middle of the floor you play off

Bonero like this look at this now he’s too deep now the there’s no help what is Ain n doing you’re probably switching the screen anyways it’s Benedict maon and Aaron Nesmith so you’re going to lean towards the screen for absolutely no reason now fron vogner is just going

To blow right by you that draws help there’s no one to box out Aon Nesmith leaving his feet to gamble on this entry pass is unnecessary now fron vogner’s got a step on you I should be right next to Vagner right now but Jaylen Smith’s gonna switch this screen so I’m I’m off

The screener my hands are off the screener I’m ready to guard fron vogner and Aaron neesmith immediately getting underneath look at Jaylen Smith your hands are on the screener so fron vogner’s going to be able to turn the corner the second he comes off the screen the same thing the Pacers are

Switching get your hands off the screener if you’re Jaylen Smith get over and be ready to guard buddy hee would get underneath you to have help in the middle of the floor but you got your hands on the screener you’re not ready to guard vogner comes off of it and turns the corner

Again so the Pacers switched this screen right here why is Andrew nard not just guarding normally like with your feet set in a defensive stance ready to slide your feet why is Andrew nard immediately just coming uphill and letting Cole Anthony turn the corner on him why how easy could that have

Been Miles Turner is coming to trap here well then Aaron nesmith’s got to leave the weak side of the floor I got to get to the strong side of the floor and be backside up I can’t let that pass to Mo Vagner get made like you’re coming to

Trap there’s no point in trapping if there’s no backside help easy pass out of it and now the magic have numbers who’s who’s getting this Isaac Tyrese halberton comes to double the post right here so Aaron nesmith’s going to rotate over if you’re Tyrese Alberton do not

Leave your feet everybody else once that dribble gets picked up everyone else is rotating and you got to get to the opposite block but I mean look at Tyrese hurn you leave your feet you haven’t even so how can you start rotating with Tyrese hurn halfway in the sky so cut back door

Transition Orlando’s got this ball could nard could Isaiah Jackson could Aaron nesi could all of them sprint back now now now what what is this standing how’s Paulo bonero catching this and it’s a one-on-one cannot run drop coverage you are operating a layup line so I’m if I

Hedge this screen and push bonero out there’s no place for Goa baz to roll to but instead I run drop coverage here cuz Rick carlile’s ter terrible so Goga baz is going to screen Nesmith then go screen Jaylen Smith and now Pao banro can just walk to the rim you could have

Pulled someone from the stands to score there this is why you show off of a Down screen right here so buddy hee can stay connected to fron vogner’s hip and just Chase over the top of the down screen knowing fron vogner can’t curl but Obi toppin nowhere so buddy heel trying to

Get over this down screen early well now you’re ahead of fron Vagner so I’m just going to beat you back door then help on Bono’s got to come from the wing Andrew nard if his feet are set he can stunt at the ball get the dribble

Picked up and recover but if nard misses this and isn’t in the gaps and you got to help at The Rim well now no one’s there to box out Wendell Carter this time it’s Buddy hee get up the line up the line I’m level to Gary

Harris but I’m in that Gap right here I’m stunting and recovering out beyond the elbow but you know where to be found so now you come and help late well Paulo buero is going to already be inside the block when you help too late Andrew nard is going to double the

Post right here and Obby Topp and rotate so the rotating doesn’t stop Tyrese halberton why are you staring at the post right here I got to get up and I’m rotating to Cole Anthony all right and then Miles Turner comes to the corner and N hard would come on to Mo Vagner

But Tyrese Alberton hasn’t even left yet so so what you go into the game every time Obby toppen and Buddy hee are a part of a ball screen we’re switching okay every single time all right there’s nothing to think about you’re you think about switching should I switch should I not

Well buddy healed switch is an Obby top and doesn’t so you really just got to feel bad for the players man Rick Carlile is such a disaster how is he coaching basketball this is a disgrace I got to hedge this screen I have a backside Defender right there from MO

Wner you’re pushing fron vogner out towards the sideline look at how you’re asking Andrew Nar to guard one-on-one right now he’s from over the top of course he’s off balance in transition here first of all Jaylen Smith’s got a Sprint back to Jonathan Isaac Aaron nesmith’s got Mo Vagner so that’s not

Happening but hold on a second could TJ McConnell not walk back could you sprint to Caleb Houston could Benedict ma then Sprint to Cole Anthony is that too much to ask just drives me to outer space the Pacers end up switching anyways so just switch at the screen Jaylen Smith can take fron

Vagner buddy hee gets underneath Mo Vagner Andrew nard would be in the gaps and be able to help on fron Vagner off the dribble instead the Pacers start and drop coverage and then say never mind let’s switch well fron vogner’s in the lane already why is this not Aaron nesmith’s

Get screened here so why is this not a switch Tyrese halberton up on Pao bonero Aaron Nesmith on Gary Harris what Aaron Nesmith gets screened you do nothing that’s why he falls you do nothing about it so now he’s not ready to guard it’s just Tyrese halberton is doubling too

Soon wait wait when Pao bonero puts the ball on the floor then you double okay look at Tyrese Alberton you’re already D you he hasn’t dribbled yet so his dribble still alive now you want to come double and then all the rotations start once that dribble get get picked up but you’re

Nope buddy heel does not need to be coming all the way over to double here he can stay up at the top of the free throw Circle right there and now if his feet are said I can stunt and recover but if he’s going to double here you got

To rotate it’s not a choice Andrew nard is going to rotate up to Balo banero so Obby toppin got to come to the corner buddy hee is not going to be able to get to the you got to come down to bad but nard rotates and Obi top and stands so

Now and Drew nard has got to be worried about two magic players so Bono can just get it and go

Magic 117 – Pacers 110
