PISTONS defensive mistakes vs. ROCKETS | January 1, 2024

Of course I would hedge here don’t worry the Pistons drop coverage is going to burn them plenty of times in this game Kevin Knox has got to get up the line whether it’s drop coverage or hedging up the line to help in backside help okay so I can recover now look at Kevin

You’re not even in backside help you’re letting this pass get made up the line like no chance of recovery is a neat trick I guess this is what $78 million of coaching gets you it’s a down screen right here you got to defend it it it’s Jaden Ivy and Kade Cunningham I just

Switch it Pistons do nothing jadeen iy gets screened you do nothing so the Pistons switched this ball screen thank God it’s not drop coverage okay Cunningham’s going to switch if you’re jayen durran I’m still going to be able to dig in the post but I’m out beyond the free throw line okay

Like you’re just standing in the paint for no reason right here like you have no chance of recovering look at this defense from Alec Burks could you please get up the line Jay Jay iy wants to help you here so just get up the line so he can help

You like he wants to help but you’re it’s such pathetic defense you’re playing so far off him he can’t wow terrible defense again from Alec Burks first of all you should be level to Aaron holiday ready to switch on to amen Thompson off this screen but aard

Thompson more importantly has got to get underneath on the switch this what $78 million a coaching gets you but instead aard Thompson switch is over the top I should be right there in the gaps right now so Alec Burks can play up and force am men Thompson to the middle of the

Floor but look Alec Burks is backpedaling aard Thompson’s not just pathetic $78 million you cannot run drop coverage off a pick and pop right here I can switch this screen James wisman guard Reggie Bullock he doesn’t beat anyone off the dribble if you need help but you won’t isard Thompson standing

And waiting Killian haes can switch on to Jeff Green you run drop coverage on a pick and pop so Jeff Green’s popping there’s no one’s there no one’s there easy pump fake get you in the air blow by bizard Thompson doesn’t need need to switch this flare screen he can stay up

To make sure he’s over the top but if you are switching stop aard Thompson immediately he’s got to get underneath Reggie Bullock the screener here you don’t obviously beat back door that draws help tar e now can get it and go in transition you don’t get back to

Just random areas on the floor if I’m azard Thompson I’m up ready to guard one of these Rockets trailers I’m James wisman I’m going over to guard Jeff Green but asard Thompson’s getting back to the middle of nowhere James wisman standing in the middle of nowhere so

Alec Burks now has to guard two Rockets players he can’t guard one Rockets player so how’s that gonna go right here everyone’s standing in the middle of nowhere so now J Shante coming off the screen can bogdanovich please get up ready to switch on this screen so that’s not gonna happen either I

Guess just outer space stuff why is James wisman standing in the paint are the Pistons in a Zone if James if they’re they’re in a Zone then James wiseman’s got to take tar e in the corner so bogdanovich can get up you can’t just stand guarding air Killian

Hayes isn’t help right here you you stand and Guard air in this charge Circle so again you’re just playing off for no reason Kevin Knox get up and guard Jaden Ivy rotates to the ball and is helping you Jaylen durren is in the gaps is helping you look at this defense why are

You not up why are you not up $78 million look at how pathetic the pick and roll defenses $78 million this is a disgrace to the sport people pay to watch this stuff this is a disgrace I’m hedging this screen 10 times out of 10 and pushing Fred Van vet to half there’s

No place for alred Zenon to roll look at this pick and roll defense this is what $78 million gets you ball screen wide openen three Monty Williams is dangerous for the sport this is a disgrace so the Pistons actually ice this screen but if you’re jayen dur you got to get up you

Got to get up you ice a screen to keep Fred Van vet to the middle of the floor look at this look at how up up it can’t Fred V Le can’t come right off the screen that you’re icing and just immediately be able to go right to the

Middle of the floor it’s not jiden Ivy does an amazing job getting down here getting in the gaps to get this dribble picked up so could Jaylen durren please just keep us back to the Baseline the help is there why what staring at the ball what Pistons paid $78 million for this this

Is the fans of Detroit deserve better this is a crime please hedge this screen the side line is right there there’s no plays for S goon to roll how is for $78 million your pick and roll defense run ball screen have Jaylen green be wide open for three this it’s not the

Player’s fault I feel you have first of all you have Steven Silas on this coaching staff a complete train wreck in Houston and coached the Bobcats when they went 7 and 59 and then you have Monty Williams who’s just complete garbage and has failed everywhere ice this screen keep Van Vleet to the

Sideline there’s no place for sangon to roll what is Jaylen durren supposed to do here how else was this supposed to end your James wisan you got a close out strong here on alprin S goon you’re closing out short you’re stopping so now he’s going to easily be able to get you

In the air cuz you’re not up and now it’s pump fake and go hey the Pistons actually iced the screen let’s give Monty Williams a $78 million we finally did it step Silas train wreck everywhere coach the worst team in NBA history now after you ice the screen and James wisman recovers

Could Buon bogdanovich not try and Gamble and get a deflection on this pass and just keep stay in front nope again in transition James wiseman’s just getting to the middle of nowhere stop at the top of the key I’m still helping on the ball but now I can

Recover like you just drop to the paint for no you’re not ready to guard sangon okay so of course you’re going to get beat here Isaiah livers comes in to help right here Kate Cunningham’s got to stay above the free throw line Kate Cunningham’s coming into the

Paint again James wisan don’t get back to the middle of nowhere I got to get to a body that’s going to be tar een you got to take the ball here you gotta Isaiah liver is GNA have to get to Jaylen green but James wisman gets back

To just random spot on the floor it’s not Isaiah liver’s got to take two people your Killian Hayes Jaden Ivy’s pretty much already rotated to your man you’re standing next to S just just get down there and double now get this dribble picked up that’s it okay Jaden

Ivy’s already there okay and then once that dribble is picked up everybody else rotates instead you’re doing some weird gamble on a swipe down and that’s an and one now so now the Pistons do double all right so when aard Thompson why is Isaiah livers inside the elbow I’m up

The line as soon as aard Thompson doubles I got to immediately be rotating to Jaylen green and then everybody else rotates from there but I mean Isaiah livers look at this you’re standing at the elbow so we’re giving up an open three now this is not the player’s fault I

Feel bad that you have straight trash on this coaching staff trash Stephen Silas Monty Williams just failures just disasters are fired everywhere again I’m of course hedging this screen here okay there’s no place for sangon to roll look at what you’re asking James wisman to do

Here so James wiseman’s got to guard the ball right here okay so you’re telling James wisman you’re not going to be able to guard s goon until he’s already pretty much in the charge Circle would be nice if azard Thompson would just get back and not gamble at

The ball right here but so you gamble okay so now we got to get back up and guard Jaylen green that does not mean we gamble don’t get it we can now just stand in no man’s land it’s out of a baseline out of bounds James wisan what get up and guard

Sangon first of all Alec Burks is fine if he does need help Isaiah Li can pinch in from the corner you’re not guarding sangon you’re in the charge Circle so sanon’s catching this it is easy pump fake get get you to Flinch right downhill for two

Rockets 136 – Pistons 113
