Dear lord. We're eaten alive from the outside night in and night out - in a MAN. IMAGINE how badly we'd get torn apart from out there in a zone.
I say simply get better at man.
-We need to deny receipt low much better than we do (ahem, Sammy).
-We need to stop switching at every whiff of a screen. (Fight it off is all)
-And as we DO stay with our man we need to make better decisions (go above a screen on a shooter, below on a slasher; we always get that wrong)
But say it with me: No zone.
We're one of the most athletic teams in the NBA for crying out loud.
