    LMAO!

    This happens every time I try and switch my rec team to a zone. There is always one person who has no clue what they are doing and gets completely out of position or forgets we are playing a zone and leaves his area. It's funny to me that NBA players are just as clueless.

    You have to practice zone a lot to be good at it, a lot of communication required. I think its much tougher to play zone than m2m, maybe when you start getting into pnr, and reads and stuff in man it can get complex. Im surprised you’re trying to get your rec team to zone up lol.

    How surprising it is that JR Smith is that person?

    I think what I found most interesting is how far down Giannis is.

    Yeah, none. As soon as I saw the play developing I knew he was going to be out of position. Although in his defense the zone they were playing whoever was playing in the middle should have rotated out.

    In the NBA it's different because you can't play a true zone without getting whistled for defensive 3 seconds. In a rec game or any other level of basketball a 2-3 zone is the most basic and easiest defense any team can play. Trust me, it's easier to have someone who lacks awareness just run to the same area every time down rather than having to help him find his man every time. Sure if the other team is smart they'd overload one side or keep swinging the ball around until rotations get messed up but most rec teams aren't patient enough to do that.

    Rubio is 10-13 (5-6 from deep) for 28 points and the Jazz are still down 27 with two minutes to go. Ouch

    God I hope Zach Collins can develop this type of post game. I think he can.
