for me it is easy - Stopping Easy Buckets on defense

team is playing well and improving

BUT

is it me or is the team still giving up [I]a lot[/I] of easy layups/dunks/wide open shots???

especially at the short corner/free throw line axis...

every team will give up[I] some[/I] easy shots but for me it just seems like it happens way too often

I think if the team could find a way to contest more shots and not give up so many easy buckets , they can level up.

this is the one issue I would identify for further imrpovement from here on out, imo.

Jesse is who he is...e brings a lot to the table but a bit slow footed in terms of rotating and covering ground...his footspeed wont magically improve...

for me it comes down to the forwards and how they rotate...its a lot to ask to guard the 3 and the paint...but it's the only way.

also id much rather live and die by open 8-15 footers than uncontested dunks/layups...they simply cannot keep happening as much as they do.
