Why the Timberwolves Defense is the Worst in the NBA

Post by drk3351 [enjin:11715927] »

Hey Wolves fans, its been a tough year for you guys as you rebuild. Here I breakdown why their defense has been pretty abysmal so far this year. What are your thoughts on their defense? And thanks for watching.

Good stuff and thanks for posting.

My thoughts on their defense is pretty well reflected in the points you made in the video. Their pick and roll defense has been horrendous this year, mostly because the guy getting screened is just awful getting around it, but also because of the recovery process utilized by the other guys. Just too many players getting mixed up, over-helping off the corner (like you pointed out, leaving the dreaded corner 3 wide open) , and just a general lack of communication. I partially blame inexperience and lack of defensive-minded players, but I also blame Flip and his staff. He seems to spend way more time focusing on our offensive execution and faults than defense. This is a similar theme to what we saw last year with Adelman.

If there has ever been a perfect setup this was it. The OP put this ball on the tee and Q was not going to miss knocking it straight down the fairway.
