Does everyone think this team that stinks at D all of a sudden play a totally different defense?

If we try zone, we will get smoked. SMOKED. We do not have the center to play zone. We do not have the guards to play zone. Just because we can't handle a screen now, doesn't mean we can handle a slide in zone.

Literally, basic switches are too hard for this team. Basic rotations aren't being done.

You think this crew can slide, can perform "M2M principles", can handle the decision-making in the middle to compete in zone?

I have been hard on Red, but I think there is a real reason he hasn't gone zone. I think it would basically look like a middle school team trying to learn zone.

You want to change the D? Go pack line. It takes communication, but it's less ground to cover and tries to take away basically just a crucial area and give up the threes.

We need to get better at what we are doing. Does that mean Bell sits? So be it. Does that mean more Choppa? So be it. More Lucas? So be it.

Get better at what we are doing now.
