Zone defense

[rollie mass]

Just eye test but this seems to give Celtics problems. Some of the slick passes are not being handled well by Theis  who normally has good hands. Those bounce passes are coming in like bad hops to an infielder.
Brown has to hit those wide open threes
.There were some big misses of passes to wide open Williams or big time mismatches on him.. He has really just missed a baby jump hook..
But this just shows the disruption of defense.It seems Marcus pushing the ball has been out of control    trying to split the defence. I guess what I am saying is turnovers, travels by Wanamaker

Yes. I've often felt like zone defenses hurt C's in particular. I remember a regular season loss against OKC playing a lot in zone too. Not sure if this is a good response to Brad Stevens systems in particular tho.

Also, TP for the Wanamaker point of view lol

2nd travel call on Wannie was bogus. I rewatched it, did not move pivot foot on first dribble.

Feel the refs calling too much BS. Not saying favoring either team. Just wish they would let stuff go more like last year’s playoffs. Raptors are better at working the refs too. Just a savvier group. Winning a championship builds up your data base.

If you ask me, half of the charge/travel calls against us were bogus. Never seen so many called in a game, let alone a 4th quarter

Nurse also likes to throw up a lot of different zone schemes. 1-2-2, 2-1-2 and a box on JT have all been used.

Gotta move the ball and also penetrate against a zone, right up Kemba's alley.
Has Brad made adjustments ?

Exactly! Bottomline the C's need to realize they're not the Warriors and quit hoisting up so many 3's. It's that simple. Attack the rim alot more and you see the result. Especially Jaylen Brown. I get it , times have changed analytics blah blah but more attacking the rim less 3's you see the result. (So far halftime of game 5)
