I wonder how much have the 4 games (in our last 6 games) against them affected JRich post Covid or February defensive numbers and how much really is his fault for those phenomal Young/Curry offensive performances. I am affraid what Lillard will do tonight. Another 60 point game?
Agree with this, and it's not just drop coverage, either. They've tried all three levels of drop, they've tried switching (KP gets killed 1-on-1 in that scenario), they've tried showing hard and recovering, and they've even tried some zone.
That's basically everything you can do. There's nothing left to try. Nothing left to hope for other than KP just starting to play better.
