JACQUE VAUGHN needs to be fired vs. CELTICS | February 14, 2024

If you’re Nick Claxton first of all you’re communicating that a flare screen’s coming Kristof porzingis is about to set a flare screen but we’re up the line as we’re doing that so I’m calling out flare flare flare but I’m not in the paint doing this what are you

Doing Nick claxton’s doing a phenomenal job of sprinting back in transition here Dorian finny Smith has got to guard the ball a little like you have help coming but get your feet set in a defensive stance Palms of your feet ready to slide your feet knowing you have help I mean

You’re not even trying to look at this defense that’s not a defensive St just get cooked and the help’s not going to get there Nick claxton’s got to be seeing porzingis here he’s coming into the paint so I’m initiating contact battling for position getting him out of

The paint you’re like just waiting for him to come down low so now he’s initiating the contact you’re sealed catch one dribble there you’re switching a screen you go over over before the game Lonnie Walker cam Johnson every time it’s a switch and Lonnie Walker gets underneath you’re switching over

The top you’re late to switch if you’re Lonnie Walker so now here comes a flare screen that you’re gonna have no chance of getting over and then two Nets go to Tatum this is coaching this is offensive this is illegal cam Johnson as Derek white cuts through the cross screen you

Got to jam him to knock him off a spot so the defender can get on the other side you don’t watch him that’s coaching that’s no attention to detail that’s jock vaugh Dennis Smith Jr why are you giving up the Baseline here the middle of the floor is where you want Tatum

Coming to where there’s help look at how Dennis Smith’s guarding you’re giving him the middle of the floor where there’s no help could this is egregious could Dennis shuder complain to the officials during a timeout and get back look at this effort get back back what is that

Effort now you’re staring at the officials and it’s a five on four do you work on Switching do you work on Switching no Nick Claxton needs to be up ready to guard more importantly cam Thomas you get underneath the screener on the switch you’re again switching over the top of the screener

Easy offens of board then for the screener cornette and the Celtics get another chance this is a complete circuit trendon Watford is doubling the post cam Johnson is standing in the charge Circle aimlessly get to the corner Nick claxon’s rotating to Hower cam Johnson would have to rotate up to the wing once

The dribbles picked up if a skip pass is made to Derek white Jaylen Wilson would then rotate to Derek white and trendon Watford comes on to cornette they do nothing trendon Watford doubles and no one rotates it’s not how you guard away from the ball you’re Dennis shuder your feet

Are set you’re in a defensive stance pointers out seeing ball seeing man ready to fly out when the pass gets made to pton Pritchard look at Dennis shuder not walking out so now you’re not ready to guard you’re coming uphill as pritchard’s going downhill well lucky you Nick claxton’s coming over to help

You so just get up and show your hands and force Pritchard in help Dennis shuder gambles and now it’s a three is just beyond infuriating do you go over your help coverages Nick claxon look Dennis Smith standing at the elbow waiting to help you trendon Watford get

Your hands off Jason Tatum’s back get up ready to guard forcing him into that help where Dennis Smith is standing next to you why do you have one hand on his back and now you’re backpedaling so now a jab step gets you off balance and no

Help even going to get there didn’t have to dribble shot goes up it’s 49- 17 shot goes up not one Nets player boxing out not one easy offensive board and a second chance coaching this is offensive Dennis Smith is going to literally come double Tatum why don’t you make it

Easier for him if you’re Jaylen Wilson and flip your hips forcing Tatum to the middle of the floor as opposed to giving him Baseline so now Dennis Smith’s going to double one you got to keep Jason Tatum towards the corner you can’t let him split through trendon watford’s

Rotating over to pton Pritcher you got to make that pass to the weak side Wing as difficult as possible but you don’t double you gamble and Tatum splits through and has access to every pass possible that’s double again this time it’s porzingis so on a pass to the wing

Jaylen Wilson’s going to come to the up top to take Tatum Dron Sharps got to leave immediately and cam Johnson’s got to leave immediately to get to cornette and drron sharp goes to Pritchard but this pass gets made cam Johnson’s Still guarding the ball Dron sharp hasn’t left

Yet cuz he can’t and now you’re not not ready to guard Pritchard get it go to I don’t understand how you make a 180 like this trendon Watford was crowding Derek white fine good there’s help in the middle of the floor force him to the middle of the floor you go from crowding

Derek white to backpedaling on Derek white what is going on this coaching Dennis Smith you’re fronting the post out of a sideline on of bounds with no backside help get underneath and battle for position I there you can send a double and then rotate but if you front

The post without backside help like you’re doing it’s just throw over the top Baseline to what is Dennis shuder doing Mike hell Bridges is guarding Jason Tatum could you guard Derek white what what is happening here why is what was that is a five on four Dennis shuter’s

Late trailing getting back in the play could you sprint down to Jason Tatum look at Dennis sher’s effort walking down and then stopping we have Dorian finny Smith coming to trap why is Cam Thomas not forcing Tatum into that trap you don’t need to trap here Dennis sher’s

Perfectly in the gaps there’s no place for Tatum to go on the strong side of the floor but you’re trapping for no reason you’re letting him split through again he has access to every pass if you are coming with this much help I mean trendon Watford is leaving

The week side Wing to come help on the strong side Wing Dorian finny Smith has got to be moving up to Sam Hower and then cam Thomas would take neimus K before trendon Watford bumps him back to Derek white after he helps you can’t help here first of all Dorian finny

Smith’s also coming to guard the ball so this is just wide open cam Thomas you never turn your back to the ball get your back to the Baseline in front of Jordan Walsh you’re fronting Jordan Walsh for no reason so now he’s going to set a screen that you’re supposed to

Switch and you’re not ready because you were fronting cam Johnson now on a switch look at his feet Mel Bridges is coming to help you flip your hips Force Derek white into help you’re backpedaling and letting him go Baseline this is a disaster do the Nets work on

Any of this do they practice do they look at film what do they do Dennis Smith Jr you know you have help in the middle of the floor so get up and guard Tatum this help’s got to come outside the paint like helping in the paint

Isn’t going to do you’re playing so far off so now the help’s in the paint by the way no one rotated to Pritchard that’s a wide openen 32 if you want it

Celtics 136 – Nets 86
