For the love of God stop switching everything this is insane.

Someone needs to explain that defensive three second call.

And PG misses two FTs in a two point game.

Westbrook is king though

I think he’s the sole reason for our teams improvement. Melo hasn’t really changed. George feeds off russ. We’re still iso heavy.

Our last four FT attempts have resulted in one point and we didn't even have bad FT shooters at the line.

Wow.

It'd be nice if Harrison Barnes would miss just once or twice.

We're telegraphing the Hawk play. They know what we're doing...and on the other end their scrubs still make shots we never make.

Bailout calls galore for Dallas.

What is the offense? Just dump the ball to Anthony in the post?

NaturalThunder · Post #72 » by **NaturalThunder** » Mon Jan 1, 2018 2:07 am

On the replay, looked like Melo made a great defensive play and just knocked the ball loose.

Steven Adams can’t guard Dennis smith jr on the permineter!! Jesus Christ our coach is so damn stupid

Offense doesn’t look much improved - seems Russ has just found his midrange game. That’s it.

And how many times are we gonna see a PG on Adams? Lol.

Switching everything seems to be ok most of the time. We are a top defensive team. And that's our distinct style.

Without Robes though it falls to ****. We just have Felton on Dirk or Adams on Barea. And Carlisle is great at exploiting this.

Russell is scorching hot

This. That defensive style/philosophy works great with our personnel as long as both Robes and PG are healthy.

There is a reason the other team is doing it. It’s what they want and it’s working. Just like in the Houston series last year.

I mean, those are pretty much the strengths of all three, so I'll take it. Less Melo would be nice though.

Donovan is such a lazy coach when it comes to bad dribble penetration defense. Instead of tearing the guys a new one, he elects to play mediocre to bad defenders because he thinks they can at least switch. Hence Felton and Grant.
