HORNETS defensive mistakes vs. PISTONS | January 24, 2024

Do you work on this you’re running this the second possession Nick Richards playing up on the screen so Brandon Miller’s got to get all the way up in backside help we’re not worried about jadeen Ivy two passes away miles bridg is can handle both Pistons two passes

Away lamelo balls got to stay home but Brandon Miller’s not even in backside help lamelo balls joining now they have two Hornets players in the paint swing swing to the corner just pathetic Steve Clifford laziness on defense if you’re lamelo bold this ball gets swung to the

Top of the gy immediately rotate down sprinting down feet set defensive stance I’m seeing both you’re not you’re look at lamelo ball here you’re walking down passet swung walking walking so now you’re going towards the ball on the kick out back to Killian Hayes Get It Go bucket plus

One gonna happen multiple times this game clearly the Hornets gonna go over this Nick Richards get back lamelo ball back Brandon Miller someone shot goes up you can’t have everyone St caring one dribble up ahead two Steve Clifford puts his players in impossible spots to succeed you have to ice the screen and

Keep killing a of the sideline PJ Washington can step up and backside out miles Bridges has both Pistons players two passes away so you’re in your dumb drop coverage if PJ Washington doesn’t step up to help this is a lob and if he does he’s not gonna have a chance to

Guard bogdanovich because you’ve given kiling a the lane this skip pass couldn’t be easier rip and go for two so transition could Brandon Miller try and guard the ball here like try and get up and stop the ball Nathan men is coming back to help you you have help

Everywhere like this is not trying this is what is that transition defense 101 clearly the Hornets don’t go over it lamelo ball you got to get to Marcus s so you’re not taking the ball so Miles Bridges can take bogdanovich here but you’re going towards the ball you have no chance of

Guarding the ball now that leaves a two-on-one on the strong side and bonovich is open this is not hard you go into a game every time Brandon Miller and lamelo ball are a part of a ball screen we’re switching that’s it you’re because you’re talking you’re thinking and now

Someone’s switching and someone isn’t more awful awful transition defense leaky black you got to Sprint back get to the three-point line Sprint back but what is Cody Martin doing stop why are you backpedaling get up to bogdanovich ready to guard like leaky black should be back at help but you got

To be able to stay with you’re not even ready to guard and where’s leaky black just awful Get It Go transition defense Steve Clifford what is happening Brandon Miller gets screened it’s Cody Martin and Brandon Miller why is it not a switch why is it nothing screen layup

Line another layup line Brandon Miller should be getting up to ice this screen what is he doing in actuality just leaning towards it early layup line to the Hornets just see this in film see this in practice and do nothing Steve Clifford being in basketball is everything wrong with the world Cody

Martin I’m up and switching or up and showing so killi and haes can’t curl you do nothing about this down screen nothing how’s lamelo ball supposed to guard this hand off now he’s not kick out to bogdanovic easy punk go drive you’re in your stupid drop coverage and again you have Nick

Richards already in backside help why is Cody Martin in the paint that’s a Steve Clifford thing so you’ll just casually give up a wide open three but now how about boxing out is lamelo ball interested in boxing out Jaylen Duren is Cody Martin is Nick Richards is anyone

Interested in not allowing this to happen so lamelo balls late to get out to Isaiah Stewart first of all I want to close out to where I have help in the middle of the floor right there with Cody Martin but you go over that and practice and film well Steve Clifford so

That doesn’t happen now if you’re lamelo ball Nick Richards is in the pain helping you show your hands you have help like that’s it but you’re not showing your answer now he’s able to come off you I still can get up though still can get up and force Isaiah

Stewart to that help what do you do sell out for a charge and don’t get it you can’t run drop coverage hedge cut that dribble off at the point of the screen now Cody Martin it’s two steps I’m in backside help I don’t have to be

In the if a skip pass is made cuz I push the ball handle to the sideline I can easily recover but you run drop coverage s Monte Morris’s dribbles alive for forever Cody Martin now’s got to dip into the paint and has no chance of recovering again you’re going to be in

Your stupid drop coverage as opposed to just icing with backside help right there so lamelo bow wants to get in the gaps first of all I got to be there now I got to be in defensive stance my feet set I can either stunt and recover or

Since Lamela Ball’s got to come all the way over to the ball so far to the strong side of the floor Cody Martin’s got to Sprint up to Killian Hayes and then Bridges comes to bogdanovich and Lamela ball would end up in the corner and let’s see if Steve Clifford institutes

That your miles Bridges you’re in the gaps you do your job the dribbles picked up so just get out to AAR Thompson now why are you still standing around and now you’re not ready to guard bucket plus one there be some effort about guarding this down screet can Nathan men get up

And show could PJ Washington try and get over the top I mean PJ Washington look at how lazy this is see not how you going to guard this ball screen how I would just switch it now but you know Steve Clifford first of all inste of a

Baseline out of bounds that’s a problem when you’re guarding the middle of the floor just guard the inbounder because now when he flies off a handoff you’re not going to be ready to guard but Nathan mens that you’re going under the handoff up I’m using my body to jam the

Screener and showing my hands that allows me to show so it’s not a handoff and just a quick pull pull for three but are you jamming the screener no so Isaiah you’re going way too far under there’s no one showing and it’s just a pull why can’t Nick Smith Jr just guard

Why can’t you just stay in front of the ball this is not defense this is just you giving up an angle and getting blown by look at that what are you doing sasser’s in the lane draw help I mean how easy could that have been shocking that the Hornets are in

Their awful drop coverage but Cody Martin Jaylen durren just set the screen get the line I’m in backside help and now I can recover why are you standing in the paint get up and then just recover you got to gamble and mix that into get it and

Go it is a three-point game with less than two minutes left no we’re not giving up open threes no we’re hedging there’s no place for dur to roll to Bridges is waiting there look at this is Steve Clifford look at this ball screen defense defense just give up open three

That that’s everything wrong with the world so the Hornets again are in their stupid drop coverage but then they’re going to switch so Nick Richards is taking bogdanovich Brandon Miller’s in the gaps Cody Martin you got to take Jaylen durren like now and start musling

Him out of the paint like you look how long you wait easy to called rotating to the ball the shell drill in a game a well- coached team does it Steve Clifford who ruined Society won’t miles Bridges I’m immediately over in the gaps that’s got to be my help because I can

Stun it’s Isaiah Stewart in the corner I can easily recover we’re not giving up open threes look at Miles Bridges standing in the corner so now that’s going to bring Nick Richards into help from the paint and Jaylen Duran again

Pistons 113 – Hornets 106

  1. I wasn't sold on the "coaches are ruining society" line at first, but after seeing the clip of Miles Bridges in drop coverage, I'm convinced Steve Clifford needs to be exiled to Antarctica.
