To extend the zone way out after that Olander brick from the elbow.

Left that area wide open and dared him to get the ball there and make that shot. It let us push up on Napier and Boatright out top and made them take those contested 3s.
 
If you don't recognize the genius of JB, you just don't understand cbb.
 
Often, the best defense is not to smother everything, which can't realistically be done. Rather the best D is to make your opponent take a low-percentage shot. Sure, once in a while they will make it, but you want them to think that is the right play.
 
JB dares teams to shoot the elbow-j. he knows most teams will flash and '4' and few '4s' can both shoot the 15 fter and put the ball on the floor so it makes them one dimensional there. odds are they miss the shot and jb plays the odds.
 
His use of 9 guys with serious minutes especially with Rak at center is simply amazing.
