Anyone else tired of seeing teams shoot wide open three's on us every game? The only time we should be leaving guys wide open is when another player got beat so badly that the defender is forced to double to prevent the easy basket. In that case it's going to be a 2 point basket anyway, so I see no problem in leaving the guy wide open for 3 to take his chances.
The Kings take this 10 steps further. I used to think it was our players trying to go for steals in the paint but it's become painfully obvious they are being coached to double team any offensive player that is within 15 feet of the basket. What really irks the hell out of me is you'll have a PF or C on the opposing team who will be iso'd on Chuck Hayes. Now if said player can score in an iso situation on Hayes, you just have to tip your cap because it doesn't happen very often. We basically take our best defensive play in a 1 on 1 Hayes situation and turn it into dog poo by having one of our guards run in to swat at the ball, only to have the ball kicked out to the player they were once guarding for a wide open 3. Rinse and repeat that all game and it's yet another reason why we lose more often than not. It's mind boggling how an NBA coach could be this bad.
