HORNETS defensive mistakes vs. LAKERS | December 28, 2023

This ball screen is set at the free throw line there is not enough space to do anything other than switch right here you can scram switch out and have miles Bridges take Anthony Davis and Bryce McGowan’s go to the corner right here Terry rier in help on LeBron James

You’re running drop coverage at the free throw line I don’t even know what miles Bridges is doing here is this supposed to be a switch stay up so this ball screen’s getting set up above the three-point line where are you going why are you not up like if this is a switch

Then I guess Nick Richard’s got to get up look I don’t what was that so the Hornets are trapping full court right here there’s too many players standing in the middle of nowhere Bryce McGowan’s got to get up to ruy hot Juro miles bridg has got to find Jared Vanderbilt

Like Hornets you’re trapping and everyone’s just standing in no man’s land so this is easy Hornets are in their stupid drop coverage which drives me insane but if you’re Brandon Miller right here you can’t be caught ball watching right here I got to see what my man Max Christie’s

Doing cuz he’s setting a flare screen so I’m communicating now flare flare flare so is Smith knows to get up and over the top you’re not doing it this dumb thing here with the Hornets if you’re switching the screen switch it now okay is Smith can get underneath PJ

Washington’s up you’d have help in the middle of the floor with ish Smith on the switch but instead you start in drop coverage here and then say never mind let’s switch when Austin Reeves is already in the paint have to have backside help on any other ball screen defense other than

Your in okay so I have to ice this screen here right now miles Bridges can get up and backside help Caleb Martin can handle both Lakers players two passes away but you have no backside help there’s nothing so Anthony Davis is catching this on the run in the paint

Ruy hot jamur is wide open too this double team is just taking way too long to get there PJ Washington’s got to come now the second he goes to double miles bridge is going to rotate to one pass away just get that dribble picked up then everybody else rotates

From here here but PJ Washington Waits an hour to double Ru Hur is inside the block you’ve come too late you’re PJ Washington you’re not backpedaling on LeBron miles Bridges gets to the top of the key you have help here you have help so I’m up I’m forcing look at this you

Back pedal miles Bridges is waiting to help you but you’re playing off LeBron and now he’s going away from the help getting right to his spot communicate in transition PJ Washington’s taking the ball so say I’m taking the ball so my Bridges knows to go to Christian Wood you got two people

Stuck on LeBron now there’s just two many Hornets players guarding no one in transition right here first of all is Smith should be already back why is this pass to Jared Vanderbilt being made but I mean Nick Smith junr is taking Christian Wood right here cross matches happen all the

Time so Nick Richards got to go find somebody else to guard so this pass is gonna get swung over the top look at how many War Hornet players you got so Bryce McGowan and Nick Richard both guarding air as opposed to finding people to guard so you know open

People you just get to the nearest body in transition right here Terry roier that’s J Vanderbilt Nick Richards got to take the ball Brandon Miller’s got to take Anthony Davis that’s it like you’re trying to get matched up in the half court here so now no one’s guarding

Anyone here so and then again you got miles Bridges and Brandon Miller both staring at the ball so now they’re going to get beat back door just an awful sequence it’s another ball screen that’s set at the free throw line there’s not space to do anything else other than to

Switch okay Cody Martin’s right there helping on the ball you’re trying to run drop coverage again it’s at the free throw line in transition here LeBron’s got the ball in the open floor Nick Richards needs to get back it doesn’t matter you’re taking Anthony Davis so Nick Richards jogs

Right here okay like Nick Richards should definitely be over in help right now but Terry rier as well not seeing the ball he should also be in help R McGowen should have help in the middle of the floor right here he has none the Hornets hedge here miles Bridges

You’re going over the top hedging the screen Bryce McGowan comes up the Hedge Brandon Miller’s got to get in backside help it is not an option you have to look at this you have no backside help and the drop coverage ice pick and roll it’s all going to not work if you don’t

Have backside help miles Bridges I don’t know why he is’s leaning towards this screen early this is a very switchable screen him and Bryce McGowan you lean towards the screen early this will happen all the time just terrible transition defense you got to try and guard LeBron in the open floor so

Brandon Miller’s got to get up and guard LeBron and Miles Bridges has got to get over to be in help on LeBron look at this everyone just backpedals literally I mean just put two points on the board it’s the second everyone backpedals just put it on the board it’s just absurd in

Transition you don’t need four Hornets players guarding LeBron Nick Richards has got the ball right here okay so Bryce McGowan’s coming over to help that means Brandon Miller can go to the corner I mean you already have miles Bridges as well guarding you’re already tripling him why does four Defenders need to be

There so obviously torian Prince can just get it and go now in transition this miles Bridges has got to take Anthony Davis here Nick Richards is late getting back this is Miles Bridges right here he doesn’t take Anthony D Nick Richards is late getting back so now he’s fronting the post no

Backside help throw it over the top so the Hornets trap here Bryce McGaw comes in backside help you have to x out of this Terry rosier’s got to go to the corner and McGowan’s got to come up to the wing You Can Have Bryce mcgaan come

All the way to the strong side of the floor and then rotate to the first pass so I guess the Hornets are coming up to hedge this screen first of all Nick Richards has got to be up now because you don’t want LeBron to turn the corner you cut his dribble off right

At the screen and then BR if you’re hedging Brandon Miller’s has got to get in backside help but Nick Richards isn’t up enough you’re letting LeBron turn the corner right here okay so that’s number one and there’s no backside help so everyone’s open now literally everyone Jared Vanderbilt in the corner ruy

Haimura on the cut oh and Anthony Davis this is in transition here your I mean your miles Bridges you don’t get the rebound so let’s get back now I mean look at Miles brid you’re just not getting back you stop and now this is a three on two

So bad Gamble from Cody Martin right here just stay underneath you have help coming in the middle of the floor right here instead you gamble right there take yourself out of position now ismith coming down on help it doesn’t matter because you’re not ready to guard and force them anywhere miles Bridges let’s

Stay underneath ruy haimura with our back to the Baseline obviously what is Miles Bridges doing what you’re not under so you’re beat back door naturally Terry roir in transition here could he please Sprint back now your back pedal back pedaling back pedaling so now you’re not ahead of the

Ball I mean PJ Washington’s not up enough you should be up hedging that pushes D’Angelo Russell to the corner right here and Miles bridges in backside help all you got to do is take two steps over you don’t need to come into the paint right here but PJ Washington’s not

Up enough right here miles Bridges is dropping to the paint for no reason and now this skip pass is to Austin Reeves is very available

Lakers 133 – Hornets 112
