    Nice article and good points!

    unfortunately, after reading it i feel extremely concerned that nearly a half of 2019-2020 season past we are still tweak on our roster, finding the identify of our game and most desperately not even thought about (i suppose) in post-season how to lock in key players (big guard like great freak or LBJ) of rivalry teams full of long men, not mentioned zone D in the clutch hour.

    in addition to a/m, its terribly sad…cuz I believe,
    we and our game strategies kinda exposed w/ no secret to potential rivalry teams, as it said in the article its out of question opps will tighten the D by playing zone defense on us to cut connection between the beard and mates, its very likely there would be no countermeasure on / off court based on a history MDA had got used to free fall and left things to players in crucial games.:(:(:(:(:(

    Requires too much effort and communication for this team.

    better to just switch everything... which if you think about it is kind of like a zone anyway.

    2020 - NBA is discovering proper zone defense. You may as well start watchin Euroleague right now if you want to see good basketball and not rec-level tactics which NBA serves right now. My God i pray for another Phil Jackson/Poppovich soon
