I have been saying this since the first game off the season.... Thank you for writing about it, because I knew i wasnt crazy... Its a defense that says.... I HOPE THE MISS JUMPERS...   None of our perimeter players even averages close to a steal...because they put no pressure on the ball... His defense dont force any turnovers....But it drains our players defensively by switching and chasing the ball all game long.... Man to Man ... would be the best fit.... and trusting Drummond, Maxiell, Monroe and eventually Slava to protect... Its a terrible defense! right now   Dan… I have been saying this since the first game off the season….

I mean, Varejao is a great player, but he's no Shaq. He doesn't command a double team in the post. Yet I bet you'll see our guards do it at least once tonight, leaving a 3 pt shooter open and paying for it. Why, oh why is Frank telling our guards to double team avg offensive offensive big men all the time? I just don't get it. I think its another one of those system things. He probably saw Doc Rivers do it once BOS and thinks thats how you play good defense, so regardless of who it is with the ball, we'll just do it every play and stay with the "system".
