Then add in robin lopez, donte divencenzo, George hill, erson ilyasova, ect. Brook, giannis, robin are the top 3 rim protectors in the league this year and the bucks are rated the best defense since the 04 pistons.

No matter how the game changes, the bread and butter of dunks and lay-ups are the heart of basketball. Bucks' defense knows that. Plus, the efficient shooting crew and kick outs from Giannis essentially nullifies any extra threes they might give up. I for one, am interested to see how this works in a playoffs. Will hot shooting teams catch fire, or will the inability to get a secure rim attempt throw teams off???
@za5528 4 жыл бұрын
i know they've refined the system since then but last playoffs we got an idea of what might happen against an elite team with the personnel to 1) build a wall to defend Giannis 2) make a ton of those threes offered up by the system + possibly 3*) make the midrange shots left open from drop coverage very few teams have the personnel to do both (maybe only the Clippers and Raptors though the Raptors may not have enough star power this time, possibly the Celtics, a full-strength Warriors) unless they either have a crazy shooting night like the Sixers on Christmas day, or are so dominant in the paint they can negate the Bucks advantage at the rim and not need a ton of threes, which the Lakers did in their regular season game and the Sixers *could* if they're playing at their best

Great perspective as always. But to key in one point of the video, the scheme takes advantage of certain players strengths while covering up their weaknesses. And that has always been the over arching concept the history of great NBA defenses. Giannis' playing stellar help defense lets Brook/Robin do their drop back role and protect the rim. If the person driving tries to slip around Giannis is around and most likely will find a way to help out. To a point where he is present in multiple sequences even to the point where he's also challenging the shot at the rim.This also impacts the Bucks perimeter on-ball defenders like Bledsoe and DiVicenzo. Bledsoe whose really good at snaking around screens so he can bulldog his target and plays into the overall defensive scheme. So all the players are on-point with their roles which allows them to get the most out defending every given situation outside of certain teams and what matchups they can bring.

Knowing the Bucks scheme especially when laid out as beautifully as it is in this video is why I hate when people talk about the Raptors last season making a ton of threes like it was a fluke. The Bucks defense is built on protecting the rim at the expense of conceding a ton of (more open) threes and strategically leaving options open like he says here, Toronto took advantage of it by having 5 good shooters on the floor at all times (especially Powell, VanVleet and Ibaka off the bench) and making a ton of the shots they were open for, especially after two teams in the Magic and Sixers who used their length to bother the likes of VanVleet at the perimeter a lot more. It wasn't some random coincidence even if Hardwood Paroxysm and Bucks Twitter insist it was a fluke. They refined it this season but the philosophy and its potential soft underbelly remains Toronto only lost Game 1 after Robin Lopez became Tall Klay Thompson for a night and once they figured out the adjustment to defend Giannis they won 4 straight games because it was paired with ruthlessly attacking the Bucks' scheme of allowing a ton of threes. That's the flaw with their system, it works perfectly against almost everyone unless they're making their threes. When they got blown out by Philly late last December it was because the Sixers uncharacteristically made 50% of their threes and Milwaukee allows a ton of those. If they play a team that shoots 3s at a high enough eFG% comparable to the points they're preventing at the rim they're susceptible

@@TheRealNog the bucks system leaves them open to an elite catch-and-shoot player catching fire, which is the kind of thing that happens in playoff series. it wasn't unforeseeable because we know role players having insane stretches is a common-ish playoff occurence and they made no adjustments when it started happening especially because they have a "pick our poisons and leave some players more open than others" defensive philosophy since they focus on the rim at the expense of the perimeter, which only works if there's at least one poor shooter in the rotation, which the raptors didn't. that meant the guy they picked to leave more open was the coldest shooter coming into the series and the shortest player who they thought they'd be able to close out even from a distance due to their length, which was vanvleet. they basically offered up those opportunities to vanvleet on purpose and he took advantage. that choice was a major factor yeah fvv made a lot more than what would be expected which contributed to how comfortably the Raptors won the four games in a row and part of it was that he was on fire after his son was born, but a big part of it was also that he's a knockdown shooter who was finally getting a ton of more open looks after living a nightmare in the Sixers series

You are right and wrong at the same time. 1.The raps use the same paint first perimeter second defense although the coverage mechanics are different hence why they are top 2 defenses. 2. The only standout difference is that the bucks reaction/closeout time is quite slower on shooters compared to the raps who close out hard pretty consistently. The bucks closeout time issue from last playoffs could be due to lack to experience in an elite system(kidd to bud) and most likely will be much better this playoffs. 3. Nurse’s desperate zone and trap defense won’t work on bud this year as has been utilizing the post up and pick and roll which was almost non existent last year and is zone buster.

I see some similarities there, but Stoudamire wasn't shooting three's at a 40% clip and i see more defensive potential in Collins. Ironically, him and Trae Young could be the 2.0 version of that Amare/Nash duo. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks.

This question is intriguing but difficult to me. While true The warriors and Bucks deploy systems that adhere to their star players, it’s also true that the systems don’t function nearly as well without them. Steph and Giannis are the systems. The warriors, even with KD , were less efficient and effective offensively without Steph. Whereas with no KD, the warriors were still top 5 in net rating and very efficient with curry on the court. Same with Giannis. This Bucks team is littered with insane defensive talent yet, they are so much worse defensively with Giannis off the court. To answer though I think it’s KD. He fits in any system and will always be a tier 1 bucket generator with his ability to space the floor
@gilly2026 4 жыл бұрын
Shawn Tillis I agree. It’s so difficult and i don’t even know if i managed to put in words with what i was tryna ask but i guess it was clear enough! You’re right. Warriors and Bucks system is what makes their teams and superstars flourish. I would put KD, lebron, and kawhi because i feel like in order to truly dominate without your system built around you, then a forward would be the one position to do it. Those 3 have the talent to score, defend, and attract all defenses towards them to create plays. I would just love to see an analysis on who would truly dominate the most, given these circumstances

@za5528 4 жыл бұрын
@@gilly2026 Yeah I think they would dominate on any team too. But I guess its also a question of how we judge "better" because if a Steph or a Giannis provides the opportunity for a smart team to build a system that raises their ceiling so much, there's an argument to be made that isn't that in itself valuable? I can understand the argument that this approach preferences floor-raisers over ceiling-raisers. Steph on a rubbish team where he has responsibilities that aren't his greatest strengths may not do as well as a more versatile player, but the more versatile player may not be the key to a GOAT-level championship team the way that Steph's unique talents allow the Warriors to be. The same way Steph wouldn't contribute as much in a "generic" system as some other stars, almost nobody else could make this extremely effective system work if they replaced Steph. Arguably the ability to allow a coach to create a flawless system is in itself part of what makes a player great. Which is why these questions are so hard to answer I think.

please please PLEASE make a video assessing Rudy Gobert defensive effectiveness and how his ability to cover so much ground turns the Jazz into a top 2 defensive team. He’s so valuable and many people don’t understand it.

Well he just granted your wish. Rudy Gobert is a role player offensively though.

just watching the first like 2 minutes I'm guessing this defense would be in trouble if a faced a fully healthy warriors or rockets team in the playoffs since they prioritize the paint of 3pt shooters

Both of these teams dont have the defense to stop Giannis tho.

its what happened to them in the Toronto series last season (everyone in the Raptors rotation is a good shooter + VanVleet and co were on fire with so many more open threes available) and why they got blown out by Philadelphia on Christmas Day when Philly made a very out-of-character 50% of their 3s (partly a great shooting night, partly those 3s being easier to make when they're both more open especially for usually poor shooters) I can see drop coverage making them more susceptible to a great midrange shooter too, but there aren't a ton of midrange gods on the tier of KD and Kawhi and CP3

A fully healthy Warriors team doesn't even take that many threes. It's a commonly perpetuated myth by people who don't watch the Warriors.

Can you make a similar video, but on Pascal Siakam? Since Giannis is the best defender on the team that’s ranked #1 in def. rtg, it would be interesting to see an analysis on Pascal since he’s the best defender on the league’s 2nd best defensive team the Raptors.

Coach Daniel uploaded about how good Donte D'Vincenzo is on defense. The problem with the Bucks is offense because once Giannis sits, their offense suffers.

Jon Juko Goat status ? 🌝Lol, imagine taking a 6’11 guy that can’t shoot over two 6’11 guys like AD and KD that can do everything Giannis can do but are much more skilled outside of 6 feet. Giannis can play don’t get me wrong but he’s a very poor man’s Shaq. Harden, AD, KD, Kawhi, curry, jokic, Joel Embiid, all better than Giannis.
