    Not to undersell it but damn there’s so much doom in these comments lol. More than anything, at least from this video, I’m seeing piss poor defense giving no effort at all.

    Isn’t this all because they’re playing drop and not switching? Like if the second player just switches and the first gets screened, he doesn’t get to just create.

    I forgot how good this guy is. Honestly if he had help in Portland he could have won a few chips. He has it now but might be out of his prime.

    This is just awful drop defense. No reason to be that far up at that distance from the basket. Ironically, Philly and Milwaukee are among the last 2 teams that use drop pnr coverage primarily given their slow lumbering centers.

    It’s a really good play design. No matter which way dame goes, Giannis can cut hard, and Lopez can pop. Dame has the triple option to shoot/drive, pass to a cutting Giannis, or kick to a popping wide open lopez. Other two bucks are ready at the corners. I love it.

    How is this different from screens set for him in the blazers, is there something I’m missing about this being a bucks specific thing?

    Giannis wasn’t even on the floor for any of these plays, unless that’s the main point then I guess lol

    Warriors run this play for curry. I only remember it back when they did something like this with bogut and Draymond green
