How would you counter small ball?

[infection]

Box-and-one defense is a type of defenseused in basketball. The box-and-one defense is a hybrid between a man-to-man defense (in which each defensive player is responsible for marking a player on the other team) and a zone defense (in which each defensive player is responsible for guarding an area of the court).
Use a modified box and one where Rudy guards the paint and the other four play a perimeter zone/ focus on passing lanes. Either the small ball team takes long threes or they drive into Rudy who will contest anything within 15-18 feet.

Woah, easy there. This is what separates the pros from the fans. We need to sit back and allow those with expertise to try the same formula again. We need larger sample sizes than season-ending results.

Technically that's just a 2-3 zone with focus on the perimeter. We did that in high school some because we had a 6'10" dude in the middle so the rest of us could roam.

My thought is go to a double low post offense with the bigs. The Jazz have the manpower to do it with Rudy, Whiteside and Dok. The Rockets used it when they had Akeem and Sampson and I forgot who their third big was. This would create its own matchup problems both offensively and defensively for the other team and the league is going away from this so if the other coach wants to have Rudy or Whiteside guarded by a 6'4" dude good luck with that.

The Clippers pulled Gobert off his man every time they penetrated. Gobert played on the perimeter but cheated in to the paint to support. When he cheated they hit his man. Gobert is tremendous in the paint and couldn't support on the wing. Every time they penetrate they are watching Gobert to kick to his man. He can't guard both. We all saw it.

So, why not just have Gobert stay in the post area where he is most effective? Just keep him down there with the sole purpose of stopping layups from whoever penetrates. The other 4 players play a 4 out zone designed to take the 3 point shot out of the game. No uncontested 3 point shots and 4 players running the perimeter to do it. The ball can't travel fast enough around the perimeter to beat 4 perimeter defends.

If a player beats them on the dribble and penetrates, so be it. We allow them to continue on to Gobert. So, what are we giving up then? WIDE OPEN 20 FOOT JUMPERS OFF THE DRIBBLE. That's what our defense is predicated on. That's what we want statistically. It's way better than uncontested 3s.

That's my adjustment. Until I see it done, I won't be satisfied that we will advance in the playoffs.

Well the plan was after Rudy helped, the player he helped would rotate to Rudy's guy. We did for a few games and was successful, Clips played a little faster and more decisive and our perimeter players either couldn't keep up or gave up.

I really really abhor talking about Jazz vs Clippers series. Ugh.

Jazz should have switched more. The perimeter D was so laughably bad.

I'm just glad we used this off-season to address our biggest problem in perimeter D.

Oh wait...

When we were rotating well we got off to a 20+ pt lead. I think the Clippers made a small adjustment of putting Mann on the far corner, making it more difficult to rotate. It's also possible/ likely that the Don/Mike injuries got progressively worse, making it harder to rotate. (Gobert actually got a little banged up in the first half as well).

The fact that Quin and the players couldn't adjust to this is getting me a little heated just thinking about it. I need to take a break, but yeah, I thinking the key is teaching the players how to make smart and quick rotations.

I’m detecting sarcasm but if not you’re right I’m a fan but I just wanted to provide my 2 cents. In the end we just need better smarter perimeter defensive schemes.

They need to be genius level unless a couple of our guys suddenly became actual perimeter defenders.

You can't counter small ball. Don't even try.

Trying to Grow ********* with Exercise and Supplements Is Unproven and Risky​

• Exercise
• Supplements
• Diet
• Fertility treatment
• Summary

Overview​

No set of ********* is exactly the same size as another.
On average, a single ******** is an average length of about 4.5 to 5.1 centimeters (about 1.8 to 2 inches).Trusted Source Overall, the typical ******** measures about 4 x 3 x 2 centimeters (about 1.6 x 1.2 x 0.8 inches).Trusted Source One may even be bigger than the other, which is completely normal.
********* aren’t considered small unless they’re under 3.5 centimeters (about 1.4 inches).Trusted Source
Even if you do have smaller *********, it makes little difference in fertility. More importantly, there’s no medically proven method to increase your ******** size.
********* do expand temporarily during sex, when blood is flowing to your genitals. Once you’ve climaxed, they return to normal size.
Many supposedly successful methods for increasing the size of your ********* are only hearsay. They can cause much more harm than good. So let’s look at some misguided methods to avoid and what to do instead if you’re concerned about fertility.

Bigger balls exercise doesn’t exist​

The bottom line: No exercises will make your balls bigger.
Many of these exercises are also dangerous. Here are some commonly touted “bigger balls” exercises that might harm you:

• Scrotum manipulation. Many exercises tell you to tug on your scrotum skin (the sack that holds your *********). Pulling too hard on your scrotum can damage skin, nerves, or blood vessels. This can result in intense pain, soreness, aching, and even bleeding inside the scrotum.
• Rubbing, massaging, and squeezing. Pushing or squeezing the ********* can be uncomfortable and even painful if you do it too hard. Injury or damage to the ********* can also affect your sperm count, as sperm are produced in the testicular tissue.
• Hanging weights on your scrotum. This is more commonly recommended for penis stretching, but some tips out there say that hanging light weights on your scrotum skin can help make your ********* look bigger. This has no effect on your actual ******** size and may cause scrotal tissue damage.
• Injections. Injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into your scrotum to make your ********* look bigger is an increasingly common practice. Because it’s a neurotoxin, injecting Botox can lead to long-term complications like blurred vision, difficulty swallowing or speaking, fatigue, and even an irregular heartbeat.
• Surgery. Plastic surgery procedures to tighten scrotum skin or make the sack look bigger are also becoming more common. As with any surgery, there’s a chance of complications like infection, injury, or tissue death (necrosis). Side effects from anesthesia can include dizziness, drowsiness, or vomiting.

There are some mom jokes in there. Lots of low hanging fruit waiting to be picked by HH

It was sarcasm without a doubt. Im certain he mostly liked and agreed with your plan.

Either go small ourselves with: Donovan Jingles Bojan Royce and Paschall.

Or bring on low post threat like Whiteside(assuming he's still got gas in his tank) and feed him the ball.
