We saw a lot of zone against Looeyville the last game. I expect tonight to be much of the same. I noticed they played a lot of a kind of 3-2 zone against us, where a guy like Clark was on the free throw line.
That negates our free throw line move where we get the ball into either Hayward or Matthews at the free throw line and either have them kick out, drive, or dish it down low.
If they do it again (the 3-2 type zone) we had better get the ball on the baseline. With only two defenders to cover the baseline and the paint, that is the weakness of the 3-2.
I hope we don't try to drive from the circle or try to get the ball to the free throw line. That's playing into their hands. Let's exploit the baseline weakness of their 3-2 zone.
Great point. Slick Rick is a smart one.
I think (assuming they scouted it) last game could be even bigger than just a W in the way that it set up the way they defend us tonight.
