I think it's more of a calculated risk as shooting is the Achilles of this Kentucky team. They want all their bodies around the rim to deter Bam and Fox from scoring there, betting on their motor to close out and distract a shooter enough.

Uhh, yeah then leave someone else, not Willis.

Shamet had Hawkins in the air with that pump fake. He probably could have gotten a foul call.

My championship game teams are both in the Sweet 16. Can't ask for more than that at this point.

Check Willis's game logs. He's really streaky. If you lose, you want to lose because a role player was hitting semi contested shots. If you leave Fox too open, he can just accelerate freely and fly to the basket with momentum. Briscoe would be the choice to leave open. I think it's more of a scheme thing though, where you want to help from certain directions/angles. And if Kentucky manipulates the defense into helping off one of their 3 decent shooters, it's good offense as well.
You saw the Westbrook action from Fox the one time, help wasn't there.

You dont leave Willis open for 3. I really have no idea why you are arguing about this. They didnt scheme it, it was just bad defense when he got open.

According to wiki the record is 34.

Your arguments are just silly.
Make your own rules...

Do you get the difference between arguing/explaining?

There was no scheme that was designed to leave Willis open or sag off him. They were clear mental errors by the defenders.

Should I count in the next Jazz game, how many moments of confusions happen on both sides that could be argued to be mental errors leading to jeopardizing the defensive scheme?
I sometimes wonder if ppl actually play basketball.
