Full breakdown of the Nets Switching Defense: https://halfcourthoops.substack.com/p/brooklyn-nets-switching-defense
i have been saying this for years…CENTERS getting caught in pick and rolls is just a bad way to defend…the other players have to switch..this is common in EUROPE since the early 00s.
That breakdown from cp3 is the most concise and articulate explanation for why switching defenses work so well at the highest level that I've seen. Great video as always!
All of this is because nobody cares about posting up.
This breakdown is something serious bro salute to you.
Netsworld we are backkk
Jacque Vaughn has really transformed the team from the hell hole that nash had them in, when u watch games with nash at the helm, there were really no principals, just a bunch of different things from drop coverage to switching just very confusing, but now Jacque has them playing a system. wish he could’ve been the coach since training camp, they would have a good chance of being number one in the league
Steve Nash really was the worst coach
Good freaking breakdown I love it man 💯
Awesome breakdown. I did notice it in all their games. It's the trust though that makes this team great right now. Everyone is held accountable.
Whats makes them able to switch is their length and agility. Ben, KD, and Clax are all long defenders.
Damn bro You outdid yourself. Very articulate and concise. Keep them coming.
Great stuff
This is a really great breakdown. Would love to see them try and grab an above average POA defender like an Alex Caruso or Delon Wright. At times they get burned by smaller quicker guards (Darius Garland for example in their game versus Cleveland) and that easy penetration into the paint can lead to kickouts to the perimeter to open shooters or touch fouls by the defense since everyone collapses into the paint. What I like about Wright and Caruso specifically is that they’re both bigger guards enabling them to guard bigger wing players, making them perfect in the Nets’ switching scheme.
Like Jack Vaughn said keep it simple… for a team like the Nets, this is a perfect defensive scheme for them.
That Jarrett Allen 3 had me dying 😂😂😂
What a beautiful game. 5:24 has been a weakness. Nash is an awesome player but too many times Kyrie (given his size) would be guarding much larger players.
This isn’t new they’ve been doing switch defense in the KD/Kyrie era, the difference this season compared to last year they’re not starting 3 guard lineup where teams would just shoot over their small guards.
They dropped the trash, in this case, Nash.
Had Marks been Fired too, Bk would be #1 in the association.
Great job bro I wish we had Vaughn as coach for the knicks
