    It makes sense when we go double big, you don't want your bigs caught rotated on to guards to get abused.

    I guess that's why it's being played so often, our team is so big.

    Alpi, Capela, Bari, Durant, they are sometimes decent guarding shifty guards give or take, but its not something you want to rely on.

    We only need a PG vs playoff teams.. against tanking teams we're just straight up better with more talent.

    Its not the bigs - its the zone defense thats killing us!

    We cant keep giving up uncontested 3s! Nowadays players are far more adept on the 3 ball - u gotta defend it!

    Once the perimeter guy picks up his dribble,. we should have a 7 footer with his arms up standing in front of him!

    We got fast hands and good defenders - make them pass! We constantly pick off passes.

    Exactly! Thats y im constantly saying that we need a variety of sets - not just 'this is our best starting line-up" and go with it... our lineup should be dependent upon matchup.
