Our Defense on the last play in reg vs Nova

[kneelb4zerg]

Just think about it Kneel - When you apply high off the ball pressure, it's a hell of a lot easier for an offensive guy to get by his defender after he's received the ball - you're forcing the tempo by taking this approach which is exactly the opposite of what we shouldve been doing. Brad Stephens is one of the best at this "make them catch it going the other way" in these situations - you apply token pressure around the 3pt line and make sure the offensive player is receiving the ball going back to the inbounder.


Btw - I honestly never knew what your name stood for and low and behold I was flipping around the tube last night and got locked into Superman 2 which I hadnt seen in ages and low and behond "Kneel before Zerg" was right in front of me. Too funny!

OK, I guess I just didn't get the terminology. I haven't re-watched it either, all I remember is he had a running start, so probably Derrick got caught flat-footed and couldn't catch-up, after which it was up to someone else to step in front and hopefully not foul.

Kind of stupid, but still funny.
