Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 1645017, member: 966"] I agree with that. But, defense can be inconsistent just like offense. The thing about the zone is that beating it doesn't require actual talent. it's just about the scheme. No one has to use talent to beat a defender 1 on 1. They just have to make the right simple passes. Jump shooters never have to do anything other than catch the ball and shoot, because the work was done by the two passes before he gets it. And, interior stuff - they just need one pass to any spot near the free throw line, and then we have two or more players converging, leaving the baseline open. Layup. If we have an actually shot blocker, or better defensive center in the game, it's more difficult to do that. But, we have Lydon. And a thin bench, so we can't even be aggressive in trying to defend once they get the ball to the FT line or try to shoot in the lane. [/QUOTE]
