    I'm okay with switching, rather not have Gallo do his best Morris impression.
    But like I said, the guards need to pick up the ball frankly. at half court.

    It's not. We need to shade a side to make it easier to get through the screen or harder to use the screen and get downhill. Also need the big man shading opposite of the on-ball defender to provide proper help.

    No, they don't need to pick up that high. That's asking for foul trouble and asking to wear them out.

    If only we had him as a coach:

    Curry is actually really good at getting through screens and shading.

    There are many ways to stop a team from getting an easy 15ft jumper off against a smaller player if you're switching.
    Picking up the ball higher is one of them.
    That's all I'm asking Portland to do if they switch.

    Meyers has been open twice with the ball and hasn't even looked at the rim. "The coaches need to assign him six 3pt attempts a half!" lol.

    Takes two to tango, I'd say. C'mon Meyers!

    More likely to give up open threes / 4 on 3 situations by putting 2 on the ball.

    Letting the ball handler who can't shoot get a head of steam downhill towards the screen and a sagging big man isn't a good idea.

    Gallinari is 6'10 with a high release point. Dame and C.J. are 6'3. Switching them onto Gallo isn't a good idea. Just play fundamental pick n roll defense. SGA is actually the type of player you ICE the pick n roll on. Our guards always switch the because they die on screens because they don't shade.

    Is Milos Teodosic really that poor of a defender?
    Every time I watch the Clippers he's getting destroyed on that end.
