Rudy is supposed to guard his man. And if he's so busy protecting the rim, why did he just let Caruso shoot a 5 footer over him?

Cmon man, he's having a bad game

Nah, you are having a hard time understanding how team defense works.

Most important thing you want to do is not give up points. If your guard is beaten which happens all the time because they are all terrible defenders, you cut off the path. If a pass is made you scramble to stop the new threat. You delay the possession.

But nobody is breaking down their defense to go to the rim. They are simply running an offense looking for open outside looks or close dunks. This isn't like playing some iso team and Rudy needs to help. LA is feeding Davis and he's destroying us.

Without Bojan we went from the best 3pt shooting to probably the wrost.
Joe Ingles is a former basketball player, Royce passes all the open looks and Niang... well, Niang is Niang

They are running simple PnRs. Our guards get stuck and trail. Rudy drops, Davis gets open.

Rudy is the best Iso defender in the league allowing only around 0.6 pts. I am sure he would be fine if it was a head to head.

Now that was good shot by Davis, though. Lol.
 
We lost this game because Anthony Davis got 10 free throws in the 1st half for stuff none of our players would have gone to the line for. The NBA kept LA in the first half, LA beat us in the 2nd.

We lost because the Jazz are too thin, and they need Donovan, Mike and Clarkson all to have good shooting nights. Mike and Donovan put up 57, but Clarkson dogged it.
 
Don really showed up tonight. If he'd had some help (looking at you Clarkson) we'd have been able to pull this off. Joe has to be better also and give Morgan some of Niangs minutes.
 
I really don't understand, once Bogey got hurt, why this team insisted on being included in the bubble tournament. It's such a waste of time for everyone involved.
