So our offense is mostly ISOs, Monk can not play pick n roll (with any of our Lithuanian centers today) 0 assists in the half, whole team has 10, DDR has 5 but 3 of them were to Keegan + Monk 3s I think.
Our interior defense looks better but in the perimeter well no comments.
Blazers is only up by 4 cause they foul a lot and have many turnovers. It looks like if Portland has a decent run they will take a big lead and end this match, hope our guys prove me wrong!

They've seemed to hate man to man defense all season. Not sure why, cause their zone usually gets chewed up by the 3

I firmly believe zone defense is something you should not run without some practice...or practice at all. There's a bunch of new guys on the team.

Maybe if it features Keegan/Carter/Keon on the front or something... but zone with Derozan/Lavine/Monk?...nah lol.

It's all communication and reads

Blazers are not taking enough threes given how open they are. Why would we want to encourage it with zone defense?
 
Blazers announcers for real one of the best in the business and very objective. They have no problem describing how good Sabonis is.
Are they back to Callabro? I haven’t watched a local broadcast. They alternate between the homiest homers and Mark Jones national level pro.

Spacing has been awful. Too much 1 on 1. They need to learn to play together. JV filling a bid need though.
