Our coaches are failing our players just as much on defense as offense

    Fundamentally on defense a lot of our guys are lacking including our better perceived defenders. Only Jabari Okogie and DFS actually squares up their body on defense and get low. Amen does it sometime but he can usually recover when he gets beat. One thing about ime Boston squad is all those guys on the perimeter were fundamentally sound. It’s why we get beat off the dribble so often and the defense is constantly scrambling/chasing out of place which leads to a. Lot to open shots from 3.

    what do this team do doing practice in off day. They don’t practice shooting, they don’t practice offense, they don’t practice transition defense, they don’t practice fast break, and they definitely don’t practice defense.

    This staff ain’t coaching ish out there!!

    if the idea of a defensive team is to get a bunch of defensive forwards together you don't need Udoka, anybody can do that. Even then..

    We have too many key players with slow feet.

    Clutch said it wasn’t Ime fault, so you aren’t even just objectively wrong. You are just wrong as a matter of fact.

    Nah, we have poor coaches, even slow footed players can be much better than the turnstile we are in the paint.

    Since when is squaring up your body the only sound defensive stance?
