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.

Okay, this team is DEFINITELY playing a kind of man-to-man trap defense.  They're trapping EVERYWHERE on defense.
