Coach Joe reminds me of Matt Patricia. Sit down if you're not gonna coach!

I’ve been getting on them about the offensive rebounding because it’s one of the keys to beating the Warriors. We had only 10 the last two games and already have 9 tonight!

Make it 10!

Crashing the boards will get you killed on the break though. The Lakers are also a different team from the Warriors.

It won’t; not on a good defensive team dedicating 1-2 players to it and 3-4 to getting back on defense.

Also, Lakers are a bigger and better rebounding team than the Warriors. I’m also not interested in reasons why they couldn’t replicate it against the Warriors. No offense 👍🏾

It will. Getting back on D with only 3-4 players will put your defense in scramble mode for the rest of the possessions coz of cross matchups.

Our team doesn’t care about cross matchups, it’s a defense built on the versatility of switching everything. While the rebounders trails, there’s usually only 3-4 players on the offensive break anyway so scramble mode isn’t a given.

Find Curry on the break and hold the fort for the extra second(s) it takes for the additional players to make it down the court when the attempt fails. For this team, the extra possessions will outweigh the any fast break points given up.

You do care about cross matchups without Rob lol. Its not only Curry you need to find as well. The Warriors love taking threes on the break were the heck were you the last couple of years?!

This is pathetic. Cs look like they have no idea what to do, and they’re making dumb play after dumb play.

[blink]

Time for both Mazz and the team to do something!!  Anything, change up a defense, run a couple scripted plays.  Come on coach.

[SCeltic34]

Mazz has been straight up terrible in the past 3 games.  Not making adjustments in time.  Bad rotations.  All of it

Nah.

They’re rattled.  They need to bear down and focus.

[hwangjini_1]

geez, 6 minutes without scoring. that pretty sad. 

[tenn_smoothie]

Allow a 24 point run because we forgot how to run any offense.

And Joe chews his gum. I cannot watch this total meltdown.

[Kuberski33]

Man I’m so frustrated with Joe right now.

This knucklehead should have seen this coming. Teams's gassed at the end of a long trip, guys playing too many minutes and they're short handed.

[SCeltic34]

Lakers are just getting every call.

[angryguy77]

Meanwhile MKE wrecked GS.

First 20 games seem to look more and more like a smoke screen.

[jpotter33]

My God, these refs just on their knees for LA. Ridiculous calls for AD all night that we're not getting on the other end.

[SparzWizard]

And what are the assistant coaches even doing. They should be flagging him to give his players rest and call the T/O

[RockinRyA]

Smart has been atrocious
