I have a question... Usually when I think about defense it is something that reacts and adjust to offense. However, I saw one video. First defensive play, watch how Ingles top locks his opponent, denies Jaylen Brown handoff with TT
It is important to understand that handoff against Gobert might lead to semiopen 3pt shot from Brown. Because it would put Gobert and Ingles out of action. It is important that Ingles realizes this and denis handoff, and opens backdoor but the rest is up to Gobert. I remember when I watched one video about Dray Green and GSW defense it was mentioned that Green and other GSW players and coaching staff are prepared in defense. Hence, they are reading offense and often makes smart plays like Ingles did in the video above. For instance, they "pre-switch" because they know that opponent seek mismatch against Curry.
So my question is: we saw from the video above that Ingles "does protect Gobert" and BOS offense goes in right (for UTA) direction, GSW is known for these type of plays. But can you name other thing that our players can do to a) maximize Gobert impact as rim protector b) protect him from getting destroyed on perimeter. Of course things like ICE, drop, tunneling to the rim, or even "invite to try shoot over Gobert" But what else?
