MAVERICKS defensive mistakes vs. BUCKS | February 3, 2024

LCA donic is just falling asleep here you got to keep Malik Beasley in front of you seeing ball seeing man look at Luca donic you got your back to Malik Beasley you’re staring at the ball so whoops where did he go now he’s coming off a down screen you’re going to be

About an hour late you try to go up the gut Maxi clear has got to do a better job battling for position you’re trying to battle for position with Giannis and the post like you got to get low and battle Derek Jones Jr’s coming into the

Gaps right here to help you so you got to keep Giannis to the middle of the floor you’re trying to guard him with one hand not going to work why is Maxi CLE bear leaning towards the screen it’s you and Grant Williams you’re just going to switch the screen anyways you’re leaning towards

The screen and now there’s no screen to switch Tim Hardaway Jr’s got to get up on Giannis right here I mean besides the fact that you’re just giving up a practice three if Giannis wanted to get downhill here and get in the paint you’d be destroyed so you’re giving up a

Practice three but look at how easily Giannis would be getting in the paint and you’d be one-on-one with him in the paint that would not work out or you just give up this not run drop coverage with Damen Lillard please you’ve got to ice this screen keep Damen Lillard to

The sidelines there’s no plays for conon to go like that come on he’s coming off a screen and is open Josh Green late reaction time I mean this dunk is missed could you get back look at how long it’s taking Josh Green to get back jogging Jo oh now you’re going to

Sprint what even is this pick and roll defense why are you not icing this right here there’s no place for Giannis to roll to Josh Green can take both bucks two passes away what is this Lillard come off a handoff Lillard get layup Luca donic you’re GNA get cooked

Here by Damen Lillard right here show your hands your help is in the middle of the floor Derek Jones Jr doesn’t have to move and help you where’s Luca Dante you Gam right there so now the help’s got to come in the paint and you’re leaving Giannis now

Free hukad donic is switching the screen like get up up up ready to guard ready to switch up and your help’s in the middle of the floor so I want to get up and force like look at this first of all it’s taking forever to switch

And you got to guard this down screen first Jay Crowder setting this down screen LCA donic I’d switch this down screen it’s Derrik Jones and LCA donic Wing to Wi you can’t do nothing Dereck Jones is screened you’re not ready to go look at this he’s three steps behind

Lillard on the handoff so Giannis doesn’t even have to set a screen he can just slip it and roll and what’s donic supposed to do now if donic steps up and takes Giannis Jay Crowder’s wide open if he doesn’t that here’s where this backpedaling on Giannis will come back

To sting you get up and guard you for first of all the Mavericks have numbers defensively get up and guard Luca donic now that help is out past the three-point line I mean you’re just backpedaling and backpedaling and wow Josh Green cannot just let Chris Middleton sit on the Block like this

Like you got to get up and battle for position and get him out of here like I mean you are just letting him hang out on the Block right now look at this hang out on the Block well now he’s catching this too deep easy Dwight Paul’s trying to play up on

This screen and it’s a good idea you got to get all the way up and hedge and push Damen L to half court now Tim Hardway can get him backside help because of a skip pass gets made I can recover from that you’re not playing up enough like

Tim there’s no backside help whatsoever Milwaukee’s definitely scoring here stop playing off Giannis again your help is everywhere Dwight Powell Tim Hardway Jr get up if I backpedal I just let him get in the paint if he wants to or practice shot here’s where this Burns you now Max

SE you’re playing off Giannis your help is right there at the free throw line but because you play off now he’s in the paint and you have no help if the Mavericks are going to switch here first of all it’d be nice if Luca donic would

Get his feet set in a defensive stance ready to slide his feet but most importantly Josh Green must get underneath the screener here so he’s in help so Lucas donic can force Damen Lillard to the middle of the floor I mean this is pretty quick work Lillard

Makes of donic and there’s no help whatsoever H it’s the same thing Luca donit you’re switching I gotta be up with Bobby pis up so I’m ready to guard but again Derek Jones Jr get underneath so you’re in help so donic isn’t ready to switch of course but Derek Jones

There’s no help this is just a disaster and it the same thing Hardway Jr now is going to get caught ball watching you actually have help on Lillard but Tim Hardaway Jr’s just spectating like the help’s there could you please see Bobby poris right now like you’re just not Bobby poris is

Just walking into the charge Circle and he’s boxing you out I mean it is awfully evident here that B Josh Green needs a double right here so if you’re Luca donic like what are you waiting on like you got to go double right now Derrick Jones Maxi clear’s got to get

Out of the paint but he would if Derrick Jones Jr would take Giannis on the cut and then Maxi clear would rotate to the top of the key if a skip pass goes to the wing Tim Hardaway Jr just simply rotates up right there okay and then

Derek Jones Jr would go from Giannis in the paint to Chris Middleton in the charge Circle and donic comes back to Giannis but I mean this is a bludgeoning I mean Giannis has I mean Tim Hardaway Jr’s rotating down to the middle of the floor so I could force

Giannis to towards the middle of the floor where there’s heal there’s also a double team coming with Josh Green so all Luca Don has got to do his guard not just aimlessly gamble like that

Bucks 129 – Mavericks 117
