I knew the correct answer was a possibility, but I thought one of the other options was also a bit lax in what he was doing.

This is an awesome quiz, btw. Would love to see more of these.

5 out of 10..means student of the game.

Some of those, the last man didn’t act as the stopper. And Kemba deep in the paint away from his man was comical.

The all the above one on Giannis is the one that really got me. If he shows early on that PR, Wes would be able to go under that pick and stay in front of of the driving man... I don’t get having Wes cut back to guard focking porzingis who will just shoot right over him.

as did the Robert Williams dunk. I said Ibaka left his man too early. Also, on the Celtics pick n roll switches, I blamed Jaylen Brown for not switching to Williams man...which was only half right.

Just by getting 1 right means you are aware of what’s going on.

I decided they’re both essentially right and picked one after reading quickly.

I coach high school and watch all my games back basically looking for mistakes - that much repetition makes it hard not to see the mistakes after awhile....though at NBA speed you gotta slow that video down and rewatch.

I went in thinking “I played high school ball and I watch shitloads of college ball, shouldn’t need to watch more than once or twice.”

Nah. I watched some of those clips 5-6 times, lmao. Speed of the game is unreal.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

My first thought was, Kemba closed out poorly, let dude just move around him. Then I saw the failed rotation and was like, 'this quiz is about that failed rotation'. Picked C before reading D which blamed them both...like I thought lol

I was always aware on D. Had good defensive coaches when I played. The worst thing to have on a team is a guy who doesn't understand defensive schemes.

You play great D for 4-5 passes and one dude does an 'oops' and it's a bucket. I can live with better O trumping good D but when dumb D gets exploited, it's frustrating.

Good quiz tho.

I fucked up on the Plumlee one

but that last one was bullshit. It’s obvious Kemba should’ve rotated but it was a loose ball so shit happens..

This was great tho.. I was a “student of the game” pride myself on my D as a PG and had to school dudes all the time on rotating, hedging, etc.

A lot of these probably depend on a teams defensive scheme and rotations

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

There were a couple that I knew but talked myself out of.

But in general, basketball tactics are woefully under-covered by the press. Zach Lowe features video clips in his stories at times, but it's rare to find writers who do deep dives into strategy and play.

There are a few channels on YouTube that I watch for in-depth analysis of strategy, but I wish there was a go-to resource (written or online) that explained the basics of NBA defense.

agreed, and ESPN/TNT hardly ever go in-depth in their coverage of defensive success or failure.

But I would not do nearly that well watching a live game. When I can slow down the tape, I can see what went wrong. But watching a game... different story.
