The Jazz Offense vs The Rockets Switching Defense In Game 1 

If coach Daniel loves his fans, pin this comment! P.S nice analysis

GREAT analysis. Please never stop making these for us hoop junkies. I'm still a player, but this helps me see the game through a new lens. I love it.

Sweet analysis. You one of the best around at this stuff

Fun fact, James Harden ranked top 5 in post defense this year. Him switching to guard PF or Centers has been advantageous to the Rockets as he likely collects the rebound, faster than the PF or Center who just shot while Capela runs the court. Even if the Rockets do not score in transition, there is a mismatch somewhere on the court.

Awesome to see the switching plates in the nba. We played switch defense in all my high school years and it helps to have the right personnel or else it won’t work (my rival school did it too but didn’t have the athleticism to switch like us)

Thank u for this great analysis.

Nice vid, beat is straight fire!

What would it take to make more videos? Love them, keep it up!

"If u dont know the play, dont worry about it😂"

Very informative

Gobert on Horns Flare standing in that CORNER 😢😢😢😢😂. Major offensive liability because Gobert is not a threat for 3-pointers.

Rockets resemble how a mordern defence should be played

Great recap. Thanks for posting. Go rockets

coach could you do a video breaking down the different types coverage used to defend ball Screens

The Rockets are basically doing the same type of switching the warriors do

Coach, you should make another Brad Stevens ATO video. That man is on fire.

Coach could you do a video on what methods Jazz could employ to reduce Harden's influence.

First things first- your analysis is always on point, you’re definitely one of my regular channels I watch. Just wanted to point out one thing from this vid- Regarding Favors rebounding: I understand how it seems absurd how he doesn’t crash the glass and instead backpedals back on D but I see why. Looking at who both teams have on the floor, Houston still has the speed advantage and can exploit that in transition. It’s not quite a small ball lineup as much as it is a shmedium lineup. Abandoning the offensive glass in favor (pardon the pun) of stopping transition isn’t terribly incredulous, it’s something I’ve seen out of Doc/Thibs book since at least 08. To be fair, this Jazz roster isn’t constructed the same as those Doc teams (and lacks the same up-and-down talent if I’m being honest.) Idk just some thoughts. I’d love to know what you think! Keep up the great work and thoughtful analysis!

Harden is a good post defender

Adding P.J. Tucker for solid Defense = a God-send 😎😎😎

The drafting of Grayson Allen was crucial.😀😀😀 A slimmer 2-Guard .

I don't like the Rockets Switch defense because ALOT of times the defense leaves the corner 3s open. Which doesn't really have to happen because the wing defender should trust Capela to do his thing. If I was the other team I would just focus on kick and drives to the wing corners and put my best 3 point shooters there.

Houston in 4!

Basically Houston is saying, "Ingles sucks if he's not taking 3-pointers." 😀😀😀😀

it doesn't matter as long as Capela and Tucker is there

Kobe smash this game to the detail ;)

Coach, do you think Jazz got a chance to win a game or 2 against the Rockets in this series?

The loss of Rubio is devestating to the jazz. Its too bad really.

Don't matter. Rockets in 5.

What are X and Os?

Bench Favors and start Udoh

coach do you think the jazz will benefit more if they play the same way the cavs did against the warriors in 2016, they put curry in almost all their pnr. to me, they can do this with mitchell and ingles as theyre savy and can draw fouls. if you get harden in foul trouble regardless of what CP3 can do it basically will ruin their rotations as theyre forced to play CP more minutes and you get a frustated superstar

Rockets defense is good but they lacks consistency and effort. They need to apply the same pressure on their opponents throughout the entire game and not just the first half.
