Just remember that the Spurs are coached not to guard the corner three.

[Obstructed_View]

They just Matt Bonner down on the ball in case they have a chance to chase a dribbler down. No sense in being within ten feet of a shooter. Proximity has no bearing on shooting percentage.

you shouldnt leave any 3 point shooter up 2 though

I don't think they are coached to guard the 3 point line at all. I don't understand what the malfunction is tbh. Teams just consistently kill us with the 3. It is getting stupid now.

I think it was sarcasm.

I think it was sarcasm.

I wish it were. They have left three point shooters for the last several years. I was certain it was stealth tanking three seasons ago, but it is clearly a defensive philosophy that it is beneath the corporate dignity to defend a three point shooter. That's not who we are.

Its 100% an outdated philosophy and one reason why we need a clean break from Pop's protege. Having Wemby should mean we guard the 3 better, not worse.

Situational awareness will improve i guess

Exactly, you would think they would press at the 3 point line and try to funnel everyone to Wemby.

Glitch “ Rivers” Johnson isn’t a head coach. Just another one of Pop’s yes men who can’t think on his feet. I doubt the other two assistants would be any better. I thought he was going to be good for the first month or so.

Every single game:

"We love Sochan and Castle as defenders, we just let them get to work! Uh oh! They're on a ball handler, in this case [ insert any player, like Harden] ... Better have someone else leave a 3 point shooter one pass away with a soft ass non-double where they don't pressure the ball handler but aren't far enough to trigger a rotation! What, { Vassell } in his soft double just led to [ Harden ] passing to ( Batum ) and he drained the three! WTF! ... Let's just do it again. Oh no, another easy three from the fake soft double! How does this keep happening?"

Seriously, what good are these alleged defenders when they're always shaded to and compensated for leading to non stop scoring and threes?

[ThomasamohT]

I don't think they are coached.

You should have just ended there.
