PISTONS defensive mistakes vs. CELTICS | December 28, 2023

Happen on back-to-back possessions first of all Kevin Knox is going to switch over the top right here that’s why he’s late getting the christops porzingis so he’s going to get sealed here jayen iy’s got a pinch in from the quarter to deny that entry pass if my feet are set I can

Deny the entry pass and I can still recover okay but Kevin Knox is getting sealed Jaden Ivy’s leaving so now it’s just catch one dribble bucket here this is again you pay $78 million for this all right Kevin Knox get underneath por is immediately and where’s bogdanovich get up and ready to

Guard but Kevin Knox is switching over the top again again you’re going to be sealed catch layup you’re going to see this multiple times this game especially in overtime all right Alec Burk guarding christop porzingis is playing off you can’t do that all right but now this

Requires a double de poris is in the paint Isaiah liver’s got to come and get this dribble picked up it’s an immediate X Out AAR Thompson rotates up wisman to the corner livers back down to the block okay or we can just watch this happen watch this happen in overtime over and

Over again off a miss free throw cannot happen your bogdanovich go find Payton Pritchard use the lower half of your body to box him out and move him out what are you you’re you’re boxing out air so easy Celtics get another chance I mean Alec Burke smiles and

Laughs after every loss how about we Sprint back here in transition right now this Ball’s turned over Sprint back Alec Brett jogging jogging oh now you’re going to start sprinting Pritchard got ahead of you other thing that constantly happens this game you’re Cade Cunningham get up I have got to initiate the

Contact with Jason Tatum Kevin Knox has come down to help me so we’re up we’re forcing him to the middle of the floor what does cade Cunningham do wait for Jason Tatum to find him and then let him spin Baseline same exact thing same exact you

Cannot wait for Tatum to find you I’m up I’m initiating the contact forcing him to the middle of the floor the deeper you let him get in the post right your plane off now there’s no help Jaden Ivy cannot gamble here look at how far down bogdanovich is coming to

Help you so I’m just up I have help let’s just make sure Tatum comes to the middle of the floor but instead you make an awful Gamble and now you’re just completely cooked and there’s no help going to happen this happens multiple times this game this shot goes up anyone

Not going for an offensive rebound so bogdanovich get back just start the Sprint back immediately okay you’re standing and watching rebound hit ahead two why are the Pistons swiching this cross screen out of a baseline out of bounds Kade Cunningham just needs to get up and jam christop porzingis as he

Comes through the cross screen so Duran can get on the other side instead you switch Kade Cunningham plays off again and now porzingis is in the paint throw it down seal one dribble two here this is again Jaden Ivy first of all Sprint back to the three-point line Sprint back

To the three-point line and Kade Cunningham I have got to create the contact with Drew holiday ivy should be in help you got Jaylen Duren is there in the middle of the floor so I’m up creating contact and forcing Drew to the middle of the floor but you’re playing

Off again you’re playing off so now he’s on the Block No Help Now G to get there and you’re going to let him spin off you to gu standing in the middle of nowhere in transition boan bogdanovich is helping on the ball Kate Cunningham’s got to get to Drew holiday and Jaden Ivy

Please find Al Horford trailing this play Kade Cunningham jadeen Ivy standing in the absolute middle of nowhere nice transition defense this is if you’re jayen durran it’s a mismatch up top okay so I’m forcing where’s my help middle of the floor that’s where I’m forcing Tatum

To where my help is look where Jaylen Duran turns his body you’re letting him go away from the help you’re on your own and obviously getting cooked more bad transition defense jayen Ivy first of all Sprint back Sprint back get your back to the Baseline get in a defensive

Stance with your feet set and then obviously jayen Dura needs to Sprint back so he’s in help but Jay Ivy’s back pedaling and ends up falling Duran’s not in help anyways here we go again this shots up Isaiah livers is in the corner you’re not getting this offensive

Rebound get back s get you’re going for an off you have no chance of getting this Celtics get the rebound and now it’s a two-on one because of why it’s very simple I guess it’s not $78 Million worth of simple but it’s simple you don’t guard beyond the

Three-point line away from the ball I’m at the top of the key in the gaps on Derek White drive right I can stunt recover Alec Burks is standing out beyond the three-point line you’re late now Derek white has space right to the rim Monty Williams is terrible same

Stupid play befuddles the Pistons on back-to-back possessions you’re running consecutive ball screens if the Celtics switch the first one Duren can take Derek white Isaiah livers is in the gaps the second he switches right here bogdanovich also in the gaps in the strong side of the floor okay here comes

The second screen cool just switch again you’ll be fine but no nope we’re having Isaiah livers go through two ball screens you’re operating a layup line Monty Steven Silas it is same play operating a layup line by the way you know how this is really easily fixed is

If you just hedge this screen because there’s no play for kada to roll Alec Burks is standing in the lane and backside help or we could do the same thing we just did switch the first screen Duren up you got help in the middle of the floor when Isaiah liver

Switches okay and then on the second one just a simple switch here too but nope let’s operate a layup line again $78 million 7 for a garbage coach and Stephen silus is here that’s insane so now they’re just you’re gonna let him throw lobs like I get up and hedge this

Screen please get Derek white out of the lane Alec Burks is standing and waiting in backside help you’re gonna let nimus K here look at this what else was going to happen here what you don’t need to switch this down screen here Kate Cunningham get attached and show so Jade

Iy can get over the top of the down screen but if you’re switching Kate Cunningham’s got to be up right away and there’s nothing to talk and think about it’s an auto switch look at how late look at Kate cutting is calling for a switch now jayen Ivy’s trying to fight

Over the top of the screen so now Drew how’s gonna beat him back door that’s gonna draw help from Jaylen Duren and porzingis catch and shoot and it happen on back-to-back possessions again you’re jayen Duran there’s no space between you and porzingis I’m getting low I’m battling I

Have help in the middle Alec Burks is coming over to help so I’m getting low I’m battling I’m keeping him out of the paint and forcing him into help you’re playing off look at this you just let him right in the paint he’s going to shoot over you

Know next possession same thing with bogdanovich no space between you and porzingis I’m up I’m low I’m battling Jen Ivy’s coming to help duren’s coming and help but you got to keep him out of the paint you’re playing off he’s just going to turn you’re Kade Cunningham Jason Tatum’s

Catching this at the foul line no space I’m up I’m showing my hands forcing him right into where this help is with Jaylen Duran right there instead Kade Cunningham back pedals now Jason Tatum’s easily able to spin off you right to the rim goal Kate Cunningham’s going to be

Caught napping in overtime Jason Tatum’s dribbles picked up right now and Kate Cunningham’s not even helping anyways so there’s nothing left to do the dribbles picked up get out to Derek white now now like you’re just standing and watching what are you watching perfect way to end this game

Shot goes up Alec Burks is standing at the top of the key just get back just get back nope Celtics offensive rebound one pass game over 28 straight L’s

Celtics 128 – Pistons 122 (ot)
