This offense sucks. Only baskets in transition.

Half court can't get anything against a bottom defense.

[K_ick_God]

You can tell it’s an L

Rhyming couplet

[CDAZ]

OG looks so annoyed

[DaGawd]

team is definitely hard to watch defensively

[Bob Ross]

Wow great defense

[Guano]

lol. We didn't even try to contest that Barnes 3. Let him dribble up and take a wide open 3

[K_ick_God]

I like RJ but our best hope is he goes 2-9 this half

[runnyc]

Worst three point defense in NBA history?

[kNicksGmen]

Trash. 1st round exit team.

**** U THIBS AND OUR DOUBLING IN THE PAINT!!!

You clearly don’t see how slow we are on rotations. They are lazy and incapable to defend. Do you not see how the swing passes are coming from dribble drives? They can’t stop the ball handler from getting in the paint. Once that breaks your defense is screwed without rim protection. You are giving up layups and 3s just as we are seeing now. They can’t defend, not on the switch and not in drop. The last option is zone because they absolutely stink

They aren't even getting into the paint on some of these drives, the last 2 shots Dick missed were completely wide open because someone helped on the drive because that's what the coach wants. I'll say again, you're alone with this take. We had IHart, OG and Josh in the playoffs last season and had a 120 DRTG, which is the same as the Wizards this season. We could defend better if the coach treated the three with the same respect he treats protecting the paint.

Let me guess, Precious can't defend now too?

You watched the entire half and decided to highlight one play choosing to ignore what happened especially in the 2nd quarter. I see you

Oh look another RJ drive and Poeltl layup oh look Barnes another layup but you don’t see it though lmao

1 play? They had 9 threes Don't worry, I'll gif them and have you breakdown as to why guys on the weakside are constantly sinking down to stop drives that don't actually come.

[Bob Ross]

Bridges is a b*tch

[Guano]

Giving Barnes wode open 3s all night.

[CDAZ]

So it begins

[mpharris36]

Worst three point defense in NBA history?

KAT is not healthy why is he playing

he's not even jumping for rebounds

[WaltFrazier]

Bridges sucks. Bad trade

[KnixinSix]

We are kinda getting into the area of the season where the gelling should be at a higher level by now. This Thibs defense is quickly running out of excuses.

[HEZI]

NoDope not seeing these layups by Toronto. He’s right it might just be me

I don't know how anyone watching us is cool with this. It's maddening that weak side defenders are constantly sagging to the paint leading to wide open 3s

[kNicksGmen]

Brunson has dick on him and he passes to Hart in the corner?

This offense has no idea what it is doing.
