the improbability of Joe Ingles' defense

[Saint Cy of JFC]

First, he's a crafty player.

Second, he's got this slightly crazy look to him, like he might just belch right in your face and laugh afterwards. It's unsettling and makes people attempt off-balance fade-aways in order to keep some distance.

Ugh. I dislike this rhetoric.

I don't care how much will or desire you have, if you don't have the physical tools, you cannot be a good defender. Measurables matter. I can make a guy care about defense, I can't make him faster, or longer.

And I disagree. I have coached basketball for 20+ years and having a desire to be a good defender is first.

Then second is knowing the techniques about keeping your butt down, arms ready, positioning and anticipation. Also knowing your players tendencies.

I will agree that measurables will make some one elite but Ingles doesn't have great measurables neither does hayward.

Look at JJ redick he has made himself into a serviceabke defender.

Redick is a good team defender. One on one he struggles. Hayward has very quick feet. Ingles is pretty long, big body, deceptively quick. Without those traits, no matter how hard they try, they would still struggle on defense.

6' 10" wingspan on a wing isn't a good measurement?

and just straight-up LOL at the shade you throw on Hayward's measurable athleticism.

but, pls, give us some more boilerplate goosebumps.

I was laughing out loud for about half the game last night. It was my favorite game of the season (right behind the Jazz vs Spurs win). Joe Ingles was a huge part of the run we had before the half. Then Lebron came back the second half and kicked our butts for about 5 minutes until Quin came to his senses and put Jingles back in on Lebron. I paid close attention to watch what would happen and the results? Lebron missed his next shot and 3 of his next 4.

Jingles is a solid nickname, but with all of the references to him as an old, fat, slow man... I propose a new nickname.

Joe Ingles should just be known as:

DAD

I always thought "Pa Ingles" was a good nickname for him, maybe it's too old of a reference for most fans.

Defensive development is similar to shooting development... you need to work at it to get better but some are going to be better and there is likely a cap on how good someone can be at it... no matter how much they want it.

Joe plays solid defense and has a high basketball IQ. He's mentally checked in... some players tend to lose focus.

There are indeed those guys who don't care much about defense but most NBA guys "want it" just aren't skilled or strong enough.

Joe also wrestles gators in the off season... royal rumble style... three or four at a time.

 

[actusreus]

Joe Ingles and Gordon Hayward are the most unstoppable father and son duo of all time.

This is some pretty funny ****.

No gators here in Adelaide. Just Eastern Brown snakes. That's bad enough.

Joe actually flips truck tires for fitness in the off-season. I know that doesn't sound too impressive, but he does it four at time, because they are still on the truck.

A full meal in every glass. Has all the vitamins and proteins you need, and some you don't.

I made a sweet graphic, but Jazzfanz hates my pictures. It says my image is 257 kb too large. Nobody seems to fight loading pictures. It's not hard to do. I used to be able to do it. But something isn't working. I thought it was a cool pick. Oh well. I can try to PM someone if they want to load it I guess because it isn't going to happen from my computer. And my computer isn't that old.
