How to SHUT DOWN CB4 (Official Dummies Guide)

[magicfan4life05]

How did NJ do it last season and turn him into an ineffective perimeter player on their way to beating the raptors?

This is the question that SVG must answer to bring that scheme into the magic defensive gameplan.

But since we arent SVG's coaching staff (and only realgm amateurs!!) does anyone know what they did specifically to take him out?

this is the official how to shut down boshly x's and o's thread, so to make it legit, we need ANSWRZ!!11!

[OhMyBosh]

Easy. Go get Jason Collins.

Raptors Clear Out and Run Isolation for Chris Bosh

Sometimes we as coaches get so caught up in the placements and positions of players that we overlook glaring advantages. One of the reasons why PNR basketball works is because it creates mismatches on switches and rotations. The result of which can mean a significant advantage between one of your better forwards against a smaller defender. If that is the case, you want to isolate your forward against the smaller defender for a 1v1 situation making it hard for the defense to bring help.

I watched the Raptors play the T-Wolves today and one of the things I like about the Raptors is the way they isolate Chris Bosh and allow him space to go 1v1. In this sequence, the PNR results in a rotation and ultimately a mismatch between Bosh and Jaric. Here is what it looked live,

The play starts off innocently enough. It's a PNR situation between Jose Calderon and Chris Bosh on the wing. The T-Wolves decide to half-hedge and rotate defenders. I say half-hedge because the ball-screen defender doesn't go to defend Bosh but instead stays on Bosh. They instead bring Marko Jaric from the weak side baseline and #4 Randy Foye comes in to take Jaric's spot on the baseline,

Once Bosh realizes he has a smaller inferior defender in Jaric checking him. He starts backing him down. At this time, #33 Jamario Moon must clear out of the lane through to the top of the key such that he brings his defender #25 Al Jefferson with him, thus spreading the floor and giving Bosh a clear lane to the basket without help defense,

This is just smart basketball. At times, we as coaches tend to over-coach the game, trying to control every possession and where players should be. What you really want to do, is get to a point where your players can run a simple play like a PNR and read the defense and make smart decisions based on what the defense is giving them.

Probably the best video out there on PNR baksetball is Jeff Van Gundy's DVD on the pick and roll offense. After all, Van Gundy has coached some of the best big-little combos in the history of the NBA. Be sure to head over to the X's and O's Basketball Forum to discuss this and more of your favorite basketball topics.

ZOMG WE HAVE A SCOUTING REPORT

[HumbleBumbleBee]

its easy

let him shoot all he wants...eventually he'll burn out
foul him...he cant make a free throw if a gun was to his head
make him use his left hand

[MagicNolesFSU]

They didnt. He choked away the series.

[Schad]

The Nets' strategy was to play Bosh physically before the catch; grab him coming off screens, push him out of position on the blocks, and generally do whatever was necessary to prevent him from receiving the ball...or at least wear him out trying to get it.

When he did receive the ball (usually farther away than he would like), Kidd was coming with an immediate hard double; because Joey Graham was starting at SF and has the same offensive ability as my coffee table, it wasn't uncommon for Jefferson to hedge in from the wing to triple team, either.

The result was that quite a few possessions were scrambled, and some members of the supporting cast did not rise to the occasion. Smitch tried to counteract the doubles by playing a small, shot-happy line-up in spurts, but with little success; whatever offense they generated was significantly less than what they surrendered.

[SS_MagicMark]

Bosh, Schmosh. What do we do with Calderon?

[OhMyBosh]

Bosh, Schmosh. What do we do with Calderon?

Don't let him sneak by from the pick and roll. He doesn't penetrate well.


Wow I feel like a traitor.

[Raptor/LakerFan]

Bosh, Schmosh. What do we do with Calderon?

I know this is almost impossible but make sure he doesn't clap his hands on D. That's his #1 move and it actually worked against Quinn this season when he was clapping and Quinn threw it between his hands at the right moment.

Bosh, Schmosh. What do we do with Calderon?

Throw a bottle of gatorade onto the floor and he will have an uncontrollable urge to deliver it to teammates

It actually is quite simple. Bosh was doubles and played physically. He passed out of the double a lot and trusted his teammates. Let's just say guys like Parker weren't hitting their shots most of the series.

That's not to say Bosh couldn't have found ways to score, but the fact is it's hard to win when the perimeter players are clanking everything and not forcing the Nets players to guard them tighter.

[TheDoctor]

Bosh played in his first playoff series, and took a while to get acclimated. It finally happened in game 6 when he started to dominate. He learned, and with your collection of frontcourt defenders I don't think you have a hope of stopping Bosh. And if our PGs hit shots like they did all season long, then you can't double off them like the Nets did with some effectiveness in the playoffs last year. And our guys were a little banged up... but we still almost beat them in Game 6 and would have roared home for Game 7.

You've just got to work on taking away his options, and hope you stop the others... while scoring more yourself.

We don't have anyone to effectively guard both Hedo and Shard at the same time (most teams don't), and Howard is a beast - with Rasho being effective at playing against him, but he won't lock him down by any means.

At the same time, you have no answer for Bosh or our PGs.

Makes for an interesting series.

[Illuminati]

Easy... have Dwight get him in foul trouble.

[The Duke]

This will be a battle... most likely we concede the fact that Hedo and Shard will have good series if they play smart... if u concede the fact that Bosh will dominate inside... and our PG when dictating play will be a tough combo.

I think our PG play if most important then Bosh's play indirectly.

-Finding other Players when swinging the ball
-Finding Bosh early in the shotclock
-Knockin down the outside jumpers when u double Bosh

Thats the real Key IMO

LOL. Am I the only one who found that funny?
