BUCKS defensive mistakes vs. TIMBERWOLVES | February 8, 2024

How many mistakes the buck make in one single play first of all Brook Lopez isn’t hedging this screen Jay Crowder would have one step and he’d be in backside out with the sideline right there Mike Conley’s picking his dribble up immediately and Lopez is recovering

And now I can actually have a chance of guarding this down screen so you’re in drop coverage of course so Brook Lopez has no chance of guarding this down screen by Rudy goar Jay Crowder still got a Chase over the top he’s going up the gut instead so now you’re going to

Be beat by Carl Towns now Malik Beasley needs to shoot the gaps right here rotate to the ball feet set I can stunt I can recover right here so there’s no place for towns to go instead what does Malik Beasley do hug the three-point line in towns is

Gone you need help on Anthony Edwards right here there’s nothing but help on the strong side of the floor and you’re giving Anthony Edwards there’s multiple Defenders there to help you so get up and show your hands and force them to the strong side of the floor you’re

Playing off of Anthony Edwards well okay lucky you cuz Giannis is coming over to the free throw line right there to help you so just let him go into that help instead look at this you overplay the middle of the floor making it sure that he can spin away from that help playing

Off Anthony Edwards again Giannis is standing waiting to help you get up and force him into this help why are you playing off Anthony Edwards when there’s help Brook Lopez in transition is just standing in the middle of nowhere at the free throw line please get up and take

Kyle Anderson trailing this play like what are you doing if you’re up right now you have help Andre Jackson mik Beasley but you’re in the paint so Kyle Anderson can just walk right in easily get you in the air Yannis is falling asleep here Jay Crowder in help he does

A great job so stay with nas Reed what is Giannis doing staring at the ball wandering into random areas bucks are in their stupid drop coverage don’t worry it’ll burn them later in the game Jay Crowder’s playing the gaps here your feet have got to be set and then you’re

Recovering it’s stunt recover not your feet aren’t set and then you’re going to gamble instead of recover how does Bobby poris let this happen first of all never guarding above the three-point line away from the ball I’m in the gaps like AJ Green is with my back to the Baseline certainly I’m not

Guarding above the three-point line when it’s Rudy goar so so you’re outp pass the three-point line for no reason so now you see Rudy goar diving to the rim well you got to get inside position why does Bobby poris never try and get inside position get sealed it’s the same nonsense Giannis

Can’t help you if you don’t let him help you Pat conon get up and guard and show your hands forcing Anthony Edwards into help you’re just backpedaling and backpedaling then gambling so now you’re off balance and he can cross you over and cook you Anthony towns is not beating anyone

Off the dribble if you’re just sliding your feet showing your hands in a defensive stance if you’re coming out to gamble beyond the three-point line for no reason well now a rip through move and you’re off balance and now he is beating you off the dribble bucks were trapping Anthony

Edwards right here Bobby poris is recovering back to Kyle Anderson so I’m sprinting over to Kyle Anderson and communicating that I’m back so Brook Lopez can then return to the Corner Bobby poris is jogging back and clearly not communicating because Brook Lopez is still guarding Kyle Anderson it’s again

Just count the mistakes first of all there’s a cross screen that Brook Lopez is just choosing not to defend Anthony Edwards comes through the cross screen you got to jam him and knock him off his spot but oh so you just don’t do that Malik Beasley is does a nice job getting

Through it still so now show your hands slide your feet Pat Conan’s coming down to help you but all you’re doing is just grabbing and holding on to Anthony Edwards so now he’s just going to easily be able to spin off you away from the help again and that’s

Two it’s the same exact thing with Pat conon why do you continue to crowd Anthony Edwards as opposed to just being in a defensive stance ready to slide so now again he’s going to spin off you right here and has you off balance well Lu look at how far over Malik Beasley is

Coming to help here so just get up show your hands and force them to the middle of the floor what does conathan do gamble right there now a rip through move has you off balance and the help doesn’t get there this is just nothing this is crap this is not defense what

Are you doing like there’s a handoff right there conton goes under so Rudy goar twist to set a second screen why is Brook Lopez not leveled to the screener I would get up in hedge the sidelines right here Malik Beasley can get in backside help but again with the

Sideline there Conley’s goingon to be picking up his dribble instantly so I can immediately recover back to go bar and move Beasley back to his man you got to do something what what even is this Pat Conan’s guarding Rudy goar what is he looking for why is he not guarding look at this

What is he looking at why is he not in front of Rudy why is Rudy goar beating him off the dribble you never go over a handoff ever ever ever Brook Lopez needs to be jamming Rudy goar using his body showing his hands so Anthony Edwards isn’t pulling right off of this handoff

And you’re meeting him on the other side you go over the handoff so now Anthony Edwards is in the paint that’s going to draw multiple Defenders right here and now look at goar is Brook Lopez clearly Rudy goar is setting a flare screen here it’s obvious he’s literally going to are you yelling

Flare flare flare so Beasley knows I got to get up and over the top you’re in help right here Beasley’s got to get over the top of this screen that’s coming and he’s going look at this Clank right into the screen not ready to guard

Jab stab has him way off balance this is just forever the bane of my existence this is not defense this is never defense anybody that runs this defense is committing a crime get up and hedge Mike connley get him out there’s no place for goar to roll to this is a

Crime this is illegal this is against the look at this an NBA team you have to live with that and see that why is Malik Beasley on Rudy goar’s inside shoulder get attached to Anthony Edwards Bobby poris is in the pain he’d be in help what are you doing so now Anthony

Edwards comes up to the wing you’re not even close to ready to guard right now so again Anthony Edwards can catch it Yannis is going to be in help but you’re so burnt and turned around it doesn’t matter Jay Crowder late getting over to Anthony Edwards this is Malik Beasley’s

Help if you were well coached if you worked on this in transition Malik Beasley’s getting to the wing or should be with his back to the Baseline there’s no place to go where’s Malik Beasley going and what’s Giannis giannis’s got to stay with Rudy goar that’s Malik

Beasley’s help which he misses of course so you’re gonna end up with Y you got three people guarding the ball who’s open McDaniels you must have backside help it is not an option this is not an opinion how does this happen why is Giannis not up hedging the sideline is right there

Bobby por is can get all the way over so that pass to go bear doesn’t get made Giannis will be bumping him back in a tenth of a second once Anthony Edwards picks his dribble up you look at you’re running drop coverage where’s your backside help so once Rudy goar catches

This he’s wide open for a dunk McDaniels is wide open on the wing Carl towns is wide open in the corner this is just it’s not basketball this Doc Rivers this is a criminal this is criminal activity Anthony Edwards is coming off a ball screen I’m not leaving him wide open for

Three obviously hedge the screen no place for goar to roll to get him out towards half court look at this this could how do you coach this how do you watch this in film how does anyone how am I the only one saying this Pat conon actually surprisingly

Does his job here gets in the gaps gets Kyle Anderson’s dribble picked up nice so could Bobby poris please just recover to NAS Reed it why do I need to leave my feet and gamble once and then twice now Pat Conan’s not doing his job by the way

Because he should be underneath the three point line right at the tip of the three-point line so you’re in the gaps that’s rotating to the ball but you got Bobby poris gambling multiple times and conon guarding above the three-point line for no reason that’s a Doc Rivers

Thing and why the Bucks aren’t going anywhere bucks are in a Zone Bobby poris is guarding air you’re guarding nothing get to the corner Jay Crowder needed to be up here on the wing cuz AJ Green needed to be guarding the ball so conathan can take towns but you

Got Bobby Portis guarding St in ghost so now towns is catching this he’s wide open pump fake in the lane now the Zone scrambling and it’s just a matter of who’s another pump fake draw 50 Defenders and then there’s towns so Bobby poris is playing up on

The screen but you got to be leveled to NAS Reed I got to cut the dribble off at the point of the screen why are you underneath Nas Reed that dribbble’s got to be cut right now now Jay Crowder who hasn’t moved needs to be in backside

Help but if Bobby poris was doing job I’m up getting that dribble picked up then I’m bumping Jay Crowder back but Bobby poris isn’t up enough and it wouldn’t have even mattered because Jay Crowder hasn’t even moved
