We crumbled against a 2-3 zone. We can not protect the paint and our outside shooting continues to be awful. Rondo nearly gets a triple double and we get run out of our own building by a D-League team. Again, we could not attack the 2-3 zone. That is a defense a bad high school team plays. This was an embarrassing loss of the highest magnitude.
Dude, the season isn't over - relax
. That said, I do think that it's pathetic that these 'professionals' get paid outrageous sums of money only to be suffocated by a middle school defense lol. I only played basketball on a team for two years, but the only defense that was used was a zone. At the time, we used to swing the ball around the perimeter, just standing there, but when I think about it now, we should have had guys cutting through, because the defense doesn't react until you have the ball, and when you do get it, it's like being a magnet surrounded by nails or whatever as they all converge on you. It's actually such a violent, over-reacting defense that just throwing the right pass moves 3-4 guys, and I always liked throwing those bullet passes, haha. All we needed to do was something like this starting at the 4:24 mark of this clip which concludes with Pierce cutting to the hoop and receiving the ball on a nice pass by Raef -
