GRIZZLIES defensive mistakes vs. KINGS | December 31, 2023

So I guess we’ll just ignore the fact that the Grizzlies just ignored that Desmond bane just got screened coming off a down screen so H why can’t I hedge here okay the sideline is right there there’s no place for sabonis to roll To None look at how you’re asking Desmond

Bane to guard he was just screened and now he’s screened again so now you’re expecting him to guard Keegan Murray one-on-one here not gonna happen can bismach bomo please Sprint back here like dearen fox has got this in the open floor we need as many bodies back as possible like bismach bio’s

Jogging jogging so I should be ahead of the ball right now Marcus Smart should be able to play up on De Fox knowing that there’s help with Desmond Bane and help with me but you’re not there and Desmond Bane you got to keep your back to the Baseline I’m seeing ball I’m

Seeing man you’re going to get beat back door here so now jiren Jackson’s gonna have to leave his feet while guarding the ball to deny that pass from getting made and now damont sabonis can just go you know this is this is actually interesting and I don’t know if

Analytics or or whatever says this but I don’t think it’s actually a good idea to just let de and fox go right to the basket I off a ball screen I I don’t think that that’s good just in my opinion so I would ice this screen that

Would keep dear and fox to the sideline with Marcus Mart standing and backs L up look at this ball screen defense it’s just let dear and fox get right to the rim look at this so everyone’s open now disaster and transition can Luke Canard just get back why does Luke

Canard need to gamble at the ball so Luke Canard is gonna gamble so why like why am I not over here guarding and bismach bambo is trying to get to sabonis find some Derrick Rose has got sabonis you got a bunch of Grizzlies players just Waltzing around in the middle of

Nowhere so I obviously certainly would not just give mik monk the Lane right here I would ice this ball screen right here Alma’s in backside help but Alma’s apparently going to be in the gaps here because you’re running drop coverage and Malik Monk’s just getting right in the

Lane so I got to be up the line up the line up the line so I can recover to Trey Lyles like you’re standing in the paint for no reason this right here is why you cannot run drop coverage because if I hedge this screen that pushes Malik monk to

Half court I have a backside Defender right here but Malik Monk’s dribble is not going to be alive for very long half court line is right there the second he hesitates bismach bio can recover and bump Alma back but you run drop coverage shik monks dribbles alive for an hour

Santi alman’s got to stay in backside help for an hour and is not going to be able to get over to Davon Mitchell by the way where’s been ban in the gaps here why is John Morant just not getting up and guarding here what is johnar

Doing like what are you feeling out a screen like what was that why did that just happen it’s just a poorly coach nightmare first of all John rant should be chasing over the top of the down screen and bomo should be showing that doesn’t happen he goes up the gut right

Here so it’s going to make it harder to ice the screen but you gotta ice the screen every time you run drop coverage you’re giving up a layup okay every time because okay so we ice this screen right we keep Malik monk to the sideline

There’s no place for Alex Len to roll to Vince Williams is standing right there so instead this is It’s a layup every time Alex Len’s gonna screen johnar then screen bambo dropping and Nam Malik this is a lay you could pull someone from the crowd and they would score here actually

This is Vince Williams who’s in help right here why is Marcus Smart not guarding on the wing Davon Mitchell Vince Williams is coming in to help here you’re just standing in the paint for no reason so now you’re not ready to guard Davon for no reason he gets in the paint draws

Help your Marcus Smart you’re never standing still this ball gets swung to Dames sabonis in the post I’m immediately dropping okay halfway between the ball and the three-point line and I’m seeing ball and I’m seeing man but Marcus Smart doesn’t move you just Darren Jackson’s trying to three

Quarters the post here you have no backside help get underneath get low get Dames sabonis out of the paint you’re three quarters in the post here with no backside help so now sabonis catches this you’re not ready to guard him you’re off balance like he doesn’t have

To do anything and he’s right on the Block and now it’s over you defend a handoff Derek Rose you go under the handoff you’re going to meet Malik Monk on the other side you’re going over the top of this handoff so obviously now Malik monk can just catch and

Go so John Morant does go under the handoff but now they’re going to twist and set a ball screen here I mean if you want to go under a second time bismach bio is going to have to get up Jam the screener using his body showing his

Hands you can also show a little bit by doing that but you’re allowing johnar to have a path to get under this screen and get on the other side in time he already went under a handoff but it’s gonna take him forever to get 7 seconds left in the half this is

Is obviously a bad matchup first of all it doesn’t matter what kind of matchup it is Marcus Smart should be underneath the three-point line is back to the Baseline in the gaps bismach bomo stuck on Malik monk out top so he should be able to get up and force into help why

Is Marcus SM this is not how you guard it doesn’t matter who’s guarding Malik monk in the top of the key I’m always rotating the ball and being in the Gap so I’m in help you’re guarding dearen Fox at half court for no reason and now bismach bio’s on an island all to

Himself this is not defense the grizzly this is not defense what Taylor Jenkins this is not defense okay I have to hedge I have to keep Harrison Barnes out of the lane I’m pushing him to the sideline I can get real aggressive and backside help because you’re pushing Harrison

Barn to the other side of the floor but look at this it’s just pick and roll and Harrison Barnes gets in the lane this not defense and by the way everyone on the weak side of the floor is open too it’s just Harrison Baron comes off a ball screen and gets to go

Right to the rim you have to communicate transition so Marcus Smart or John Morant someone’s taking dearon Fox communicate this whoever it is it doesn’t matter say something so the other can take sabonis you got two people going to dearen FOX NOW jiren Jackson’s coming over to take sabonis and leaving Harrison

Barnes same thing johnar goes under the handoff so now you’re asking him to go under a ball screen that Dam Mones sabonis sets get up if you’re bismach bomo you got to jam the screener show your hands use your body I can also show off of this so johnar has somewhat of a

Chance to get under this screen like look at this John Mor you’re letting him walk right into the screener right here he’s off just awful what is Desmond Bane doing the Grizzlies are switching here thank God so what I don’t what Desmond Bane you need to stay home on Keegan Murray

Obviously why is Desmond what was that your johnar look at all the help you have in the middle of the floor okay so just get up show your hands Force dear and fox into this help in the middle of the floor what do johnar do Gamble and then back so now you’re off

Balance so now dearen fox is in the paint without having to do anything and good night I mean Desmond Bane’s got to go under this hand off a little more urgency Marcus Smart’s supposed to take a half step back to let him through on this handoff but whatever Desmond Bane’s

Not look at look at you’re walking to get under this handoff so again jiren Jackson has help in the middle of the floor he should be getting up to guard deer and fox but Luke Canard when he’s helping should already be up feet set defensive stance so I’m

Stunting and recovering with my back to the Baseline jiren Jackson’s back playing look at Luke canard’s feet you’re going towards the ball in the kick out Trey ly’s open three in transition here if you’re Luke Canard don’t worry about the ball just get back David Rody is taking the ball Luke why

Are you coming towards the ball get back David Rody is going to get cooked by Malik monk right here if you’re Derek Rose though and you’re helping okay I’m up the line helping first of all I can then recover when I do that but also the dribble gets picked up outside the paint

You’re why are you waiting too late at the end of the quarter could David Rody stop doing jumping jacks trying to defend the inbounder keep your feet on the ground because when this ball gets inbounded I got to be ready to get right back into the gaps and rotate to the

Ball but David Rody’s jumping up and down so now as opposed just being immediately back in the gaps right waiting to help you’re basically standing out of bounds and Kevin herder scores at the end of the quarter just over and over and over again there’s five seconds left on the

Shot clock johnar is coming over to double dearon Fox so if you’re Luke canar I guess John Morant needs to communicate this but get up show your hands and get up force him into this double don’t play off there’s not time on the shot clock John Morant look at his feet

Guarding the ball right here like he’s giving dearn Fox this angle here this has to be Desmond Bane and help this cannot be jiren Jackson from the weak side of the floor if Desmond Bane’s got his feet set in his backs to the Baseline he can stunt he can recover

Okay like Desmond Bane’s nowhere like you know dear and fox is coming this way so J jiren Jackson’s com to help it doesn’t matter so Daren Fox get this layup off anyways but Trey lyes is open Alex Len is open
