Vogel!!

You could defend no putting Hibbert on Bosh and you did it. But you should put Hibbert on inbounder. He`s big, inbounder wouldnt see light underneath him.

Good point. PJ liked to do that. Put a long player on the inbounder to make his pass more difficult which makes it easier to get picked off. I think he did it twice to the Nuggets when they met in WCF in '09. I think it emphasizes the point that the best coaching happens when you are dictating the action more than reacting.

One thing I am not sure of as far as the rules go......does the defensive team have to cover the guy inbounding the ball in those situations?

If the answer is no, I would have left the inbounder wide open (as long as the inbounder wasn't Ray Allen), doubled Lebron, single covered everyone else, and left Hibbert all alone to protect the paint.

I have no idea what that means.

blue text means troll fishing by way of sarcasm.

and i do suggest you watch that game again. tim was out of whack.

no.

you haven't heard the phrase "the inbounder is the most dangerous player on the court", have you?

[m33p0]

apparently bosh jumpshot>>>>lebron layup.

i'm flabbergasted.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

no.

Would be tricky for a team to inbound and then pass back to the inbounder and have the inbounder take a good look and shot, all in 2.2. seconds.

you get the added bonus of the guy "stepping-into" the motion of taking a shot.

This tbh, Pop refuses to play our best defensive lineup

To be fair to Pop, Duncan and Tiago played all of overtime.

[Biggems]

no.

you still never answered the original question.......instead all you gave was a silly reply.

[Biggems]

btw, you dont tip your hand until the referee hands the inbounder the ball, then the guy backs off and runs to help defend Lebron. If that doesnt work for you, then simply put Hibbert on the inbounder. Have him use his size and wingspan to be as disruptive as possible.

would you leave a guy inbounding the ball unattended? you'll give him a whole range of options. and the ball can always go back to him for an open jumper.

[ShoogarBear]

Well, hey, look at that! Hibbert stays in, Lebron can't drive.

[skulls138]

That had more to do with George staying in front of him, just like George NOT being in front of him is the reason he DID score in game 1.

[m33p0]

they got it right the second time around.

[HarlemHeat37]

hm, only Vogel would do this, he must be an idiot, right?..

[InK]

they got it right the second time around.

Something that Pop doesn't manage to do.
