CAVALIERS defensive mistakes vs. BUCKS | December 29, 2023

Okay Max stru gets screened here so it’s not much of a screen it’s enough of one I I of course would ice this screen because now when Giannis rolls you have a backside Defender right there and Dean Wade but what do the Cavs do I mean Max stru is getting screened here keeping

Chris Middleton to the sideline if you ice it but Max Drew gets screen and you do nothing so Chris Middleton’s just open now obviously this ISS why you ice this screen right here because when Giannis rolls there’s a backside Defender standing and waiting you’re keeping middle bu into the sideline the problem

Is is you’re going to run drop coverage so where is your backside H it’s nowhere so now you’re asking Max Tru to come from the corner all the way up top into the paint so now this skip pass is there this is just JB bicker staff being

Atrocious I what what do you want to do about this handoff right here I certainly would I you could switch it right cuz Isaac aoro can come in he’s in help in the gaps right here Donovan Mitchell you can get him out of guarding Yan by scram switching having Dean Wade

Take him okay you could also hedge this screen right because Dean Wade is literally just standing there waiting in backside help all right but uh the Cavs do nothing they they do nothing it’s just possession after possession I’ll just keep showing it it’s possession if

I what else am I supposed to do okay again I would ice this screen because it’s much easier to get a backside Defender right here for Brook Lopez because Dean way can handle both bucks players two passes away but if Jared Allen’s coming up on this screen you got

To get up you can’t let Damen Lillard turn the corner you can’t let if Damen Lillard turns the corner you’re get playing up on the screen it’s over now everyone’s open Brook Lopez’s pop is wide open and Conan’s now open because that Drew help and here’s the next possession like

What am I supposed to do with this it’s every possession all right the Cavs switch this now so if Jared Allen is switching on to Damen Lillard not a great matchup right so Isaac a coro’s got to get underneath so I can force him into help right here but but Isaac aoro

Is over the top Jared Allen even know where Jared Allen is and this is just easy who’s coaching this this is just a disaster first of all Donovan Mitchell should have his back to the Baseline this should be him in the gaps right here he can stunt and recover so he’s

Going to miss that but then he’s just goingon to stare at the ball so georgees Sang’s coming to help Donovan Mitchell’s now you’re staring at the ball so you’re gonna give him an open three to Pat conon okay lovely now could Jared Allen though go find Giannis again and box him

Out or does Jared and Jared Allen want to just box out air shot goes up there’s no one boxing out Craig Porter Jr is going to try and box out with one arm that’s not how you box out you use your whole body use the lower half and drive Marian bamp back

And then nobody at least he’s trying because no one else is going to try so this is an easy offensive rebound no Brook Lopez loves to pick and Pop I mean it’s just time and again I don’t know what else this is the clips like again I would ice this screen keep

Damen Lillard to the sideline because now when Brook Lopez pops Max strews is literally standing and waiting there okay but if Jared Allen is coming up first he’s got to come all the way up you gotta cut Damen Lillard’s dribble off at the point of the screen and

Georgees nang’s got to get in backside help on Brook Lopez’s role look you have no backside help so Brook Lopez on this pick and pop what else is gonna happen here he’s gonna be wide open time and again who’s Co will you have Luke Walton on this coaching staff too and Sydney

Low both failures and transition here Isaac aoro Jared Allen Dean Wade everybody just get back don’t study the ball see everyone’s just looking at the ball Jared Allen Isaac aoro as opposed to just getting back right here okay so if Isaac aoro was sprinting back he’d be

Having his back to the Baseline right here to be ready to guard but you’re looking at the ball still trotting back so now jannis is just gonna come off a handoff you’re not gonna be able to guard it so the Cavs try to ice this screen or

At least Isaac aoro does icing a ball screen means that you keep Chris Middleton towards the sideline so Jared Allen’s got to get over and up you have backside help for jannis an aumo but where’s Jared Allen here you’re keeping Chris that’s icing a ball screen he stays to the sideline where’s Jared

Allen here does not mean Chris Middleton gets in the lane and Carris Levert’s lay it’s awful just awful who’s coaching this in transition here Max Tru ends up getting back to help on Giannis Jared and when you play off of Giannis in transition Max Tru is getting over when

You play off Giannis all you’re doing is giving him more space to get downhill so you have help let’s get up and guard and force look at this stru is coming over get up force him into this help you just backpedal and now you’re on your own and

You let him go away from the help it’s the same exact thing you have Isaac aoro is in help he’s come over to the elbow to help you so let’s get up let’s make sure Giannis goes towards that help look at Jared Allen here you’re just backpedaling Giannis does nothing

Giannis is in the paint without having to do anything it’s over at that point forget it it’s drawing a million Defenders why is Isaac aoro gambling on Brook Lopez just show your hands and slide your feet how you gonna let Brook Lopez beat you off the dribble so first

Of all this should be Jared Allen’s Gap assignment right here Dean Wade’s gota obviously stay home on Giannis Jared Allen should be the one over in the gaps here right he can stunt he can recover but I mean Isaac a Coro getting beat off the dribbles ridiculous Dean Wade then

Comes to help terrible pick and roll Defense Max stru is just leaning towards this screen early of course I’d be getting up and icing the screen cuz where’s Jan is Gonna Roll too all that’s happening is Max strw is trying to get over the top of a screen early so now

Chris Middleton just goes the other way and beats you now it’s Damen Lillard with the ball in the open floor Jared Allen needs to get back he has got to Sprint back and get to the top of the key so that there’s some I can force Damen the L to

The middle of the floor like Jared Allen’s not back and Isaac Coral gets put on skates again with the same garbage got is this team poorly coached it’s Caris LT and George NE you’re just going to switch the screen anyways why again is Carris LT leaning towards the screen

Early to just get beat the other way it’s time the Cavs hedge and of course they don’t do it right Jared Allen’s got to be going over the top of this screen and my goodness is there a lot of space to go over the top of the

Screen but Caris L’s coming out the Hedge you have backside help with George’s kneeing right there for Malik Beasley’s role but if you if Jared Allen goes under the screen here Carris Levert Hedges then leaves you’re not ready to guard Circus the Cavs are when you have

Cydney low and Luke Walton and JB bicker just guys that lose and fail over and over again this is what happens not of a sideline out of bounds why is Tristan Thompson in the charge Circle guard Bobby poris he obviously can shoot threes what on Earth was

That again your Caris LeVert just guard show your hands and guard here this goes again guess what Carris Levert does leans towards the screen early so Chris Middleton’s gone the other way and JB bicker staff Luke Walton Sydney low this stupid play the Bucks Run that is somehow effective they’re running

Consecutive ball screens I can’t ask Carris Levert to fight over the top of two screens all right just switch the first that’s it Jared Allen takes the ball then on the second one guess what we’re just going to switch you switch the first now we’re switching again okay

But instead you’re having Caris LeVert come over two ball screens which is never gonna happen he should be on brookly this is every reason in the world why you hedge as opposed to your idiot drop coverage because when I hedge Jared Allen’s cutting that dribble off okay Caris levers and backside help but

He’s not going to have to be there for long the second Pat conon hesitates Jared Allen gets to recover on jannis and push Carris Levert back when you run your drop coverage Pat Conan’s dribbles alive now forever forever so Carris Levert’s and backside help for an hour

And Caris LeVert is again gambling just show your hands and slide your feet Isaac aoro standing at the top of the key waiting to help you but I got to at least be somewhat in front of Damen Lillard but you come up to gamble again so you’re not even somewhat in front of

Damen Lillard it’s just a straight line drive so the Cavs are going to double Damen Lillard if you double Damen Lillard at the rim with Max stru it’s a complete waste of time you just put two points on the board Donovan Mitchell’s got to be the one to double here and get that

Dribble picked up outside the paint because it’s an easy X Out Max stru is just simply xing out onto Chris Middleton and Donovan Mitchell comes back to Brook Lopez he’s just doubling to get the dribble picked up that’s it okay but here you go double it rim with Max stru right
