Tyson Chandler denying the shoe toss is probably the funniest thing I've seen. And the fact it can't even be considered a delay of game or tech makes it even better 😂

[@Liquorice_Monster]

That first clip of the entire defense allowing Marcus Smart to shoot not one but two consecutive completely undefended threes is the most hilariously disrespectful thing I've seen in a while 😂😂

[@David-iv6je]

Smart has been a streaky 3 pt shooter over the years, with some real stinker seasons in there. Now he can hit them when open, but he was still only averaging .330 from 3 this year. Technically that's the point at which you should not guard a guy. In practice, he'll hit up around .400 if left open, so you need to honor him.

[@replicaacliper]

Just lazy defense

[@DANtheMANofSIPA]

Thats when the Suns were really bad so tbh they probably just didn’t care about winning

[@meyvesuyugaming7232]

[@Tysaac]

As a Jazz fan who watched the game let me explain 1:14. This was during Harden’s MVP year and I believe he had 20+ points at halftime, and almost all of them were drives or step backs to the left. So Rubio simply just stayed on his left backside so that he couldn’t do that. But it does look hilarious either way.

[@risekujikawa7763]

Yea they were trying to funnel and force harden to drive since they had Gobert but that Floater or oop to Capela was just deadly

[@joshg4562]

I don't blame the commentator. Surprised he didn't have a seizure trying to make sense of the play. Dude was trying to find the nicest way to call him an idiot

[@D71219ONE]

0:59 There are legit stats that show this works. Obscuring the shooters vision of the basket, even slightly, affects their accuracy. If you see someone is about to shoot without a defender, just try to obscure their vision of the basket. 😅

[@nathanielgasper]

That’s honestly a strategy that I’ve also used when I used try and contest wing players as a 6’3 guard myself. However, it won’t work with Steph cuz he makes them with them eyes closed.

[@Sora-ING]

​@@nathanielgasperOr just yeets them like in that clip😂

[@kingdeedee]

Funny enough a few of these have actual explanations for them 0:50 this contest is actually somewhat effective. It's proven to affect a wide open shooter more than if you just stand there (but a close proximity contest is still better) 1:15 seems strange guarding a player from behind but the idea was to stop Harden's stepback 3s at the time and force him to try score inside, making Houston's offense more predictable (it somewhat worked) 2:32 In case you never watched 2016 Steph... the whole league was trying EVERYTHING back then lol I don't blame Melo

[@janschropfer439]

yup it was the only way to stop the 4 stepback three pointer from harden. He initiates from left, so left side. But partly on his backside so if he decided to really step back you are in his face immediately. I think in that game they managed to keep him under 25 points

[@AlexH-yd4vj]

1:17 I know what Rubio was going for there. Teams have been guarding Harden like that for a while, trying keep him from driving left. You'll see guards do this to him from time to time, although Rubio was a little far behind lol

[@Smiler445]

yes that was Utah's game plan on trying to contain him for the whole series I think. Of course it was an interesting idea in theory because Harden was crazy efficient on them stepback threes but Houston still easily won the series 4-1 I think

[@russhl125]

Im pretty sure this particular stance was about guarding Hardens stepback which also explains why he was behind

[@mambaforever3239]

This stance is actually pretty effective on dominant hand drivers or players that can’t go the opposite hand. Have a friend who’s bigger but can’t finish with the left so I would guard him by shadowing his right hand. Basically Id dare him to drive to the rim by giving him an open lane but he’ll either blow the open layup with his left or shoot a heavily contested shot with his right. I mean it’s not the case for Harden, but try it out in 1v1s in the park

[@AlexH-yd4vj]

Point is, this isn't a screw up by Rubio. It might look like it but it was literally the game plan. Sounds like y'all agree.
