MICHAEL MALONE’S criminally awful coaching vs. KINGS | February 14, 2024

Nicole yic wants to get in the gaps you can’t gamble here when that ball gets you’re gambling when the ball gets swung to the wing I’m immediately flying down getting in the gaps so my feet are set then I can recover right back out to

Bonus if a pass is made you gamble so now you’re coming down your feet are going towards the ball in the kick out oh and then you gamble Again by the way and you’re late to get up now Aaron Gordon is coming to help you like if you

Come up and stop the ball Aaron Gordon will be in help right there and that doesn’t happen either somehow nuggets don’t guard this down screen you can’t not guard this down screen Reggie Jackson and Payton Watson I would switch it Right Guard to guard you do nothing

So Kevin hurt Reggie Jackson screen you have no chance of guarding this handoff so Kevin herder is gonna end up being open for three right here and let’s take a look at sabonis his role is wide open in the paint right there so that was terrible it’s just complete garbage

There is no other way to put it Aaron Gordon is coming to help if you’re Conor you go over this Conor glesby get up Force dear and fox into this help you you don’t do anything you just backpedal and backpedal you just let dear and fox get in the paint without doing anything

So now you’re on your own and yeah we’ll see how that works is something that the Nuggets don’t go over clearly yic in transition you don’t go towards the ball you get back you get back any motion towards the ball’s gambling that is atrocious it’s a three on two for absolutely no

Reason kic plays up on the screen but first of all Christian Brown should be in backside help he’s not but if you’re yic on the recovery just recover so you can guard why must you gamble on your way out as opposed to just getting underneath sabonis ready to guard you’re

Off balance now you’re Payton Watson why are you staring at the ball you’re not in help here you what are you’re doing nothing just keep Trey ly in front of you that’s all you got to do now this shot goes up box out no so now he just

Walks to the rim easy tap back Kings get another chance herder someone Aon Watson again do the Nuggets go over this do you talk about it in film it happens all the time you’re not in help why you staring at the ball see both head on a swivel

You have literally not seen Harrison Barnes once this entire time if you’re nicolea yic here just guard you’re guarding the ball your only focus is the ball why are you leaving your feet to Def defend what entry pass to who so now sabonis has got you beat again

This is Michael Malone putting his players in no- win situations no win situations get up and hedge the screen and move dearon fox out now Aaron Gordon or Reggie Jackson both of them can get in backside help if a skip pass is made it’s an easy recovery you let dearon fox

In the paint so now Aaron Gordon can’t Step Up all the way or this kickout pass to the corners wide open he actually doesn’t even Step Up all the way and the kickout pass to the corner is still wide open in transition in transition get up and guard dearen Fox

The nuggets have numbers defensively there’s more defensive players than offensive players and Reggie Jackson’s backpedaling so now I got to Sprint through right here I got to guard with some urgency like Sprint through you’re walking through and then Aaron Gordon practically scream you and now you’re cooked Michael Malone it’s not fair to

Reggie Jackson get up and hedge this the sideline is Right There Michael Porter Jr will be in backside help for three1 of a second dearen Fox will have to pick his dribble up and then yic can come back and bump Porter Jr back it’s not fair look at dearen Fox is hard enough

To guard one-on-one when you’re in front of him you’re asking him to guard for over the top you have no chance Michael Malone first of all in transition this is pathetic Michael Porter Jr you need to Sprint over to dear and fox sprint over so I’m guarding dearon Fox and I’m

In help you’re nowhere and yic could you get up and guard sabonis he’s not GNA beat you off the dribble Porter should be over and help but you also shouldn’t be just letting sabonis walk to wherever he wants to look at how many people are wide open here for Sacramento because of Michael

Malone’s horrific ball screen defense hedge the screen move dearen fox out backside help is right there with Reggie Jackson on sabonis is roll skip pass easy recovery to Barnes you’re in drop coverage so sabonis is wide open off this role wide open oh you want a corner three Kevin herder’s wide open

To the Nuggets go under on the handoff surprisingly correct Aaron Gordon’s in help here now he should be already over but he’s in help joic is not a part of this at all get over to sabonis like this is Aaron Gordon’s help which by the

Way he’s late to get to that does not mean yogic just ignores and has his back turned to sabonis that was awful you’re still not seeing him and Nicole yic please complain to the officials during a timeout get back and guard Harrison Barnes you’re complaining to the officials and trotting to nowhere so

You’re not even sort of ready to guard now the Nuggets don’t go under the handoff yic should either be up jamming the screener sabonis right here using his body showing his hands so Malik monk isn’t pulling right off this and Christian Brown’s going under meeting

Monk on the other side or yic can get up and hedge right here push Malik monk out there’s no place for sabonis to roll to so we’ll just casually give up a wide open floater right at The Rim but it’s look you’re lucky he misses so now could

Joic box out no no no Reggie Jackson should be getting up to ice the screen again there’s no place for sabonis to roll to what even is Reggie Jackson doing you’re coming uphill to avoid the screen so now Malik Monk’s just going to immediately go downhill blow right past

You now it’s a two onone it’s a bonus again is something the Nuggets clearly don’t go over pton Watson is the man in help first of all Christian Brown your back is to Trey Lyles that can’t happen underneath Trey Lyles seeing ball and man and again Payton Watson’s in help so

Why is Christian Brown coming up to help too stay with Lyles that was pointless the Nuggets again have no idea what they’re doing on hand offs joic is up jamming the screener Conor Gillespie will go under meet dear and Fox on the other side you’re not guarding anyone

Here sabonis is role is wide open if dearon fox wants it and because Conor Gillespie’s playing from Over the Top a step back three couldn’t be easier to shake him on nuggets complete lack of coaching they did not win a championship because of Michael Malone or any other

Nepotism on that staff Ryan Saunders ad man Michael Porter Jr you should be forcing dearen Fox into the help now getting up and guarding you’re just letting them walk you down Baseline away from the help joic is still there though he’s still in you can’t miss this dearen

Fox is turning the corner you’re right there get that dribble picked up you’re going out towards some layup finally the Nuggets hedge of screen cool well if you’re Michael Porter Jr you got to stay attached to Harrison Barnes when the screen happens when dearon Fox comes off the screen you

Will hedge dearon Fox is hesitating he’s not even coming off the screen stay attached Daren Fox is hesitating right now so I don’t even need to hedge I can stay with arrison bars because Aaron Gordon can guard but you’re coming out to hedge for no reason Daren Fox isn’t

Going anywhere so now Barnes is just gonna reverse the angle of the screen and now Justin holiday is icing the screen this is all really cool but you got to do it right Justin holiday you’re forcing dear and fox to the sideline so Michael B Jr’s got to get underneath

Underneath the Aaron fox look at this Justin holiday’s icing a screen where’s Michael Porter Jr it just walked to the rim

Kings 102 – Nuggets 98
