Title: Anybody notice how much we switched with our bigs up high last night
Post by: PirateVOL on March 22, 2024, 06:09:23 EDT
Very unusual
We were not worried about their bigs at all and used our bigs to stop their guards on the perimeter
Once our guard recovered off the screen then the big would find his man in the lane
Did it time after time, with all 3 bigs
Very, very effective, especialy against Washington and frustrated the hell out of Reid (who let his big mouth write checks that his limited ability couldn't cash and ended up with two (2) Ts and the resulting ejection -  then was one of the 2 players that met with the media post game)

Bottom line is they had never faced a physical defense like we suffocated them with last night :powert:

I was very impressed with Estrella last night
Seemed comfortable on switching out on defense (much more than earlier in the year)
It was obvious that Z had condidence he would fill the lane on the drive and dish (actually in my view more aggressive at it than Aidoo)
He's very athletic, much more so than our other bigs and possibly has a higher ceiling

We did the drive and dish with all three bigs, repeatedly
Gainey got in the act and Dillione tried to

Yes. It was pretty obvious to me that we were not really too concerned about their offensive ability very much.
