The play is designed to pass to the fake/slipped screener as the 1st option (Diaw in this case).

Yeah, Barnes should have switched to Ginobili. But Bazemore didn't even try to switch to Parker. I can't figure out if that because he actually anticipated the next switch to Diaw or if he just got lucky. I have to guess that if he had switched to Parker, Diaw would have been wide open underneath (which might have been the original intention).

I was about to mention this too.
He knows what's going to happen before it happens.

i'm not sure how defenders are coached to handle those gray area situations when they're told to switch everything. i would think that you'd play "switch everything" like a match-up zone, where you cover whoever comes into your area, to negate any picks. so the fact that manu crossed barnes' face should have been barnes' cue to switch onto manu. i don't know if that's the way barnes should have read it, just my guess.

I would say no chance Pop did that intentionally, except that they showed similar confusion on Green's made 3 at the end of regulation. So who knows?

Eh I'm not a big Jarrett Jack fan but he's a good player.

...but the fact that nobody can take advantage of Curry on offense is a little disheartening. Even DGreen should be able to post up an anorexic.

Also recall that Jack missed Golden State's final shot at the end with Manu in his face.
