Everybody is dunking on Beasley here and ig he’s not a great defender but like this is a bell curve meme play right? Like only terrible players that are actually sleeping and elite players operating within a scheme are going to fall for it? He steps up to cover the shot over the top of the screen and his “help” can go under and stick with the driver?

That’s actually a really smart play to pull on a low IQ defender. Hali so fun to watch

I watched this live. Looked like Beasley character just lagged

controller disconnected

Lol bucks were clearly playing zone d

Actual 200iq play?

Lag

Got’em.

Oh brother I don’t think they’re betting on you either Monk

I have a question.

Isn’t this an example of great athleticism but ultimately a bad play from Hailburton? I always thought one of the benefits of pulling up your C for a screen, aside from the screen itself, is also pulling the Defending C out of the box to clear up the lane to attack. Here Halliburton blows by the perimeter defender but still moves to congested space. This keeps the center congested after Haliburton dishes the ball out. Aside from Malik getting blown by, this didn’t seem that terrible for the Bucks D.

This looks like a travel by halliburton. He switched his pivot.

He got bamboozled.

CP3 absolutely livid that he didn’t think of this first

Does every team have an ugly new City court and an ugly new in season tournament court? What a time to be alive - for whoever manufactures NBA courts

That’s one way to expose the zone defense. This is what irritates me about a lot of current basketball players, they don’t communicate at all with each other. One of his teammates could just say, “It’s all you!” and that would let him know that there’s no pick coming.
