Your Solution To Our Problems?

blow up the team, keeping DD

Well right now a huge problem seems to be perimeter defence. I remember at one point we were leaving the hottest shooter on the floor (Manu) wide open.

My solution would be to limit our help defense. Man to man defense should be predominant. If your teammate's guy blows by let someone else in the paint take care of him or just settle for the shot, don't help out and end up leaving your own man open. I know it sounds crazy but just watch how many wide open perimeter shots the Bulls are going to get today.

Trade Calderon for prime Payton, trade Bargs for prime Mutombo and trade Turk for prime Pippen. And we're good.

i'd let beli ride the bench. seems to be the only thing he's good for. everytime he's on the court, i cringe because i know he's going to hog the ball and try to take the other team on 1 on 5...

mediocre defense in the first half then killed it in the last half nice win today

What problems?

[rise of raptors]

Stop playing Jack/Jose together

[0n9jai]

Reggie is the answer

[Habibi]

Sabotage the team's charter plane and hope it plays out like "We Are Marshall"

[SDM]

Get Hoopla to ensure the shooting form of our starters (including DD) no longer has rust. Establish a bench rotation consisting of who, when, where, why, and how. Have Alex English work with DD and Andrea on new post moves to relieve getting swatted as often as they do. Show confidence in players and allow them to showcase their strengths in practice (i.e. Evans becomes a coach in a rebounding drill, Calderon in a shooting drill, DD in a shotblocking drill, Rasho in a deity drill, whatever), but make sure this is handled fairly with everyone getting a shot to show something they feel they can bring to the table. Subconsciously, players will recognize what their teammates expect them to do on a court and encourage them while also understanding their own role. It's really easy laid-back coaching that the players would like, but it's also very impactful on the court. It's a small measure, but it's the psychological mindfudge that players would react to.

Roids and submarining players when they drive.

I've noticed this in the Chicago game, the weak part of our defense is Bargnani, and it's not his post defense either that's hurting us. It's his pick and roll defense. He doesn't hedge and he fails time and time again to get back to his man. And also Wright may be our best perimeter defender, but against quicker smaller guards, he doesn't seem to do as good as he does against bigger stronger forwards. DeRozan isn't the greatest defender but he defends other shooting guards better than anyone else on our team, including Wright and Jack. Plus please dispel this STUPID idea of playing Calderon and Jack together. PLEASE Triano for the love of God PLEASE stop playing them together. Keep Wright as a 3, keep jack as a 1. It's stupid to overlap these two players onto our 2 spot when we already have 2 shooting guards in Belinelli and DeRozan who can hold their own at that position.

surround bosh with players, or dismantle the team.

Raptors should try this pentagon(2-2out-1) type Defence.

Put Bosh and Bargs at the bottom of the box.
DeMar and Hedo play away from the top of the box.
Calderon plays at the arc

Priorities:
Demar and Hedo defend the players that are on the wing
Bosh and Bargs take people players that come in side
Jose guards up top

Other Options:
DeMar an Hedo
-can come uptop to to help Jose for doubles depending on which way the player drives
-can help double down low
b]example[/b]
The ball is put in the post where Bosh wants a double, DeMar comes down to double where Jose takes DeMar's posistion. If the ball is kicked to the top of the Key, Turk Moves overs to cover Jose's Posisiton, at the same time Bargs moes to Hedo's posistion.

This would work better though if Wright is on with DeMar so they can cover the wings better.

What do you think?

this the nba it wont work whose will get beat of dribble and the bigs will be too down low to help out and when they do it will be too late or itl be dished out to the bigs for an easy dunk. Aalso any post up bigman can take advantage of our bigs because thyll get easy position down low and our bigs arnt stong enough to keep em out. but the wings look alright if our wings can play good man D.

Yup, I agree on the previous game.
Bargs didn't play well. He is not good at guarding the 4 or high post shooting player. He needs to get closer, but don't let him blow by.
And as you mention, pick and roll as well, he needs to get back and rotate.
He needs to be more active and protect the paint as well, not only watch his own man.
He still lacks the awareness and activeness, but he has been well improved on help defense.

However, the overall problem is perimeter defense. We only have 1 out of 3 that can defend the perimeter. If we are keeping Hedo (who is a better defender than Jose), then we need to replace Jose for a better defensive guard.
Wright nor Jack is not the answer, they cannot cover 2 positions at once (assume Hedo is ok at his position).
Bosh and Bargs when putting the effort, they can be average or slightly above average defenders.
And if Evans is back, then he would be a better defender than Johnson.
