Sħãlïq™ Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Which James Jones trey did you like the most(Gm. 1)? James Jones' 3-PointersSee how mistakes by Boston's defense allowed James Jones to get open for five 3-pointers in Game 1: Three No. 1: Second quarter, 10:02. Culprit: Glen DavisChris Bosh sets an early screen for Mario Chalmers beyond the 3-point line on the left side of the floor. Davis, who was defending Bosh in transition, fails to contain or slow down Chalmers. Chalmers drives toward the foul line, forcing Jeff Green to help off of Jones, who is set up on the right wing. As Green closes, Chalmers feeds Jones for an open three. Three No. 2: Second quarter, 9:28. Culprit: Jeff GreenIn transition, Mike Miller drives into the paint from the left wing. As he does, Jones drifts from the right wing to the right corner, and nobody in green has any clue where he is. Green is the defender closest to Jones, but he never locates the shooter, even though Jones just hit a three on the previous possession. As defenders close in on Miller, he kicks the ball out to Jones, who drains a wide-open three. Three No. 3: Second quarter, 6:58. Culprit: Delonte WestWith LeBron James dribbling on the left wing, Jones cuts through the paint, defended by Ray Allen. As James comes off Bosh's screen, Delonte West gets lost trying to close out on Chalmers. As Joel Anthony screens Allen on the baseline, West is actually in good position for a switch onto Jones, but as Jones curls out to the top of the key, West realizes his man has drifted into the corner. He heads there, joining Allen in defending Chalmers, as James finds Jones all alone at the top. Three No. 4: Second quarter, 3:35. Culprit: Ray AllenWade comes off a high screen and crosses over into the paint. Allen, defending Jones on the weak side, turns his head in looking to help on Wade, but doesn't do anything to actually stop him. Wade crosses the lane and finds an open Jones, who drifted to the corner while Allen was in no-man's land with his head turned. Three No. 5: Third quarter, 3:02. Culprit: Kevin GarnettThe problems with this defensive possession aren't nearly as egregious as the four above. With Miami playing small, Garnett is defending Jones, who cuts through the paint and curls around on the weak side for a catch-and-shoot three near the top of the key. Garnett loses Jones for just a slight second on the baseline and then gets caught on Anthony's screen. With Jermaine O'Neal ignoring Anthony to help on the strong side, no one's there to switch onto Jones.http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/john_schuhmann/05/02/game-1-analysis/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 ^ Vid at the link.
