its just as nuts that we keep doubling middling players and leave good players wide open
The Knicks started to throw traps and doubles at Jameer who was killing us. Other than that, who did we really double last night. Maybe Big Baby once.
The reason why our defense sucks is because of exactly this. We cannot stop opposing PGs from running around screens. Chocolate boy needs to get over screens with gusto. It has to be a mix of that AND doubling the PG till they give it up and then the person on defense who was doubling has to rotate back to your man.
I think this is what we were doing at the beginning of the season and we have gotten away from that.
