The defensive blunder by Mitchell Robinson on the Maxery 4pt play is one of the worst I've ever seen. So it's finally time to ask this question. Is it significant or meaningless to a team's defense that defenders constantly bite on pump fakes and upfakes throughout a game?
The Pacers twice failed to foul up three the other night and tonight the Knicks do it too. Only in the National Bonehead Association. Good night!
One time I was coaching a team of teenagers at my local Y and an opposing player came up to me one time and said it was really frustrating that your players didn’t bite on my pump fakes . Yet the greatest players in the world aren’t smart enough to stay down.
Have I told you the coaches don’t know the math. They get paid seven and eight figures and they’re not bright enough to figure it out
The Knicks have to shoot a three to cut it to one so if they foul and make both it’s a one possession game
Mitchell Robinson bites on the Embiid pump fake again. Such a low IQ player
Mitchell Robinson pathetic for biting on the pump fake and beyond stupid not fouling up three
Again they double off Maxey and he hits the open three. These coaches are clueless
Brunson is dancing a little too much and passing up good mid range looks
The lack of smarts, fundamentals and discipline on defense in this league is unbelievably embarrassing
Man this Brunson is playing damn good without any high level offensive talent around him and the Sixers honed in on him on defense.
Again they double off Maxey from three and pay for it
The Knicks are continually leaving open the weak side corner
Pick any NBA era you want and one thing would be consistent. They would do this JJ Redick on the defensive end

OG focuses on Maxey driving and leaves his man (Batum) open. Makes the Knicks pay w/ a 3.
Wouldn't see the floor in any era pre-2000
Pick any NBA era you want and one thing would be consistent. They would do this JJ Redick on the defensive end
@arhooptalk Man couldn’t create a shot to save his life. He was as one dimensional as they came.
@arhooptalk He was such a liability on defense
I don’t either per se but I’m saying for him to even listen it’ll take AR & 3 first rounders in deal to be at the dinner table in a package deal but u don’t get to eat.. if u catch my drift
@Beautiful_Str34 I don’t think Ainge is taking that deal. I wouldn’t
@arhooptalk On defense he gives up way too many points cause he's not mobile. Specifically 3s. Vs Indy he's been getting cooked. His offense ain't enough to cover what he gives up
Im Working on a Wilt Video, i actually took the time/ oh well here is something i found interesting, I doubt any other player would come close in %
@arhooptalk This game today is so watered down that Adam silver finally says it needs to change. JJ is one of the Klutch people that has to disrespect past eras so LeBron can be propped up.
