JV is not rotating good benching there

Our PnR defense is getting beat badly and JV is already in foul trouble. Not much he can do when you allow blow bys like that. Much higher chance you're going to foul. He picked up 2 from helping, and got an unfortunate one that should have been a jump ball. It's not a lack of effort. Perimeter has to put some effort in to allow bigs to help.

Huh?

All JV needed to do was rotate to cut off penetration. He didn't do that 3 times. He should be bench for that. He wasn't even looking at where the ball was on those three plays.

He is really rounding into form for the playoffs.

Are you counting the Wiggins/DD blow-by? Because that wasn't even a PnR. DeMar just got straight schooled and Val had to foul to stop the dunk.

I just wish he'd play like this every game. Nice balance between looking for his own offense and making plays for teammates.

at least on one of them he was not able to make it in time anyway. no need to blame jv for everything seriously

The two mistakes I saw were when defending basket cuts by Anthony Bennett that led to dunks. No P&R. Bennett got by his defender twice (at least once against Patterson), JV not there to step up and take away that passing lane.

Missed the Wiggins one so I don't know what happened there.

Jv has got to move better, his agility and quickness has to improve...we packed too much weight on him

And leave his man wide open? The problem is not guys getting through on weak PnR defense, it's that they're getting straight drives to the basket from EXTREMELY weak PnR defense. No time to rotate, not because you can't get there necessarily (first Bennett dunk MAYBE) but because it's a quick play that has a high chance in resulting in a foul or giving a wide open pass to the guy you're guarding. That's a PnR defense problem.

And he helped on Wiggins but fouled because it was one of the most athletic guys in the league getting a wide open drive.

ended the quarter well, hopefully they start the next quarter well as well.

I don't think people are blaming him for everything, just pointing out where he made his mistakes.

Don't know if that is possible. I hope he can manage 4 out of 7 in the playoffs.

1. When JV is part of those pick and roll defense, and the rotating help is not there, we point to JV's bad pick and roll defense. Where is the blame for the lack of help in these situations?

2. When other Raptors are on those pick and roll defense, and JV is supposed to be the help man rotating, we point to his help defense. Where is the blame for the 2 Raptors for bad pick and roll defense?

JV can't win with you people, because while others get a pass for their bad defense, he gets blame for everything.
