Ball screen defense.

Mawein is fine. He's just playing too many minutes against more talented players. He should be a big off the bench when the other team's bigs are on the bench.

Great ball screen defense on that four point play

What a bad basketball player, probably a good person though, @cat97

he's pretty coordinated.

Damnit Mak, are you kidding me? Saved the most uninspiring for last, that was tragic.

The jacked up three was certainly a WTF moment.

I actually didn't care about that, at the time we weren't getting anything. Again, my beef with him was effort. He didn't post hard and he never even attempted to get an offensive rebound, literally didn't try, didn't fight for position, didn't jump, it was pathetic. Getting Trice has to be the #1 priority.

His defensive effort was pretty poor too. There was that sequence where the big did the screen/hand off for a four point play and an easy layup on back to back possessions that was amazing

Watching him trot up & down the floor like it was a pick up game for possession after possession in the elite 8 was maddening

It wasn't him, but the worst post defense was helping on a guard leaping out of bounds, who then threw back to an uncovered center for 2 plus 1. Just head-shake stupid.

He did it all year, but yes.

Yes I mentioned this in another thread. oscar loves him some dribble penetration help.

The kid just looks soft.... Don;t know if he can be coached up or not....looks timid down low...

EMAWzifried · « **Reply #489 on:** March 24, 2018, 08:23:34 PM »

His tourney performance speaks to how truly shitting a defender Lightfoot is.

zackole1 · « **Reply #490 on:** March 24, 2018, 08:27:23 PM »

He should have owned Mongo underneath the basket tonight...

Why? That kid is about a hundred times better.

Someone earlier in this thread said it best, Mak really should be playing a Stockard or James Love role on this team.

PIPE · « **Reply #492 on:** March 24, 2018, 09:24:57 PM »

How bad is Stockard and Love tho?

Mawien is 100 times the player those dudes are. Did you see Love try and play the game of basketball tonight? Totally amazingly awful

MakeItRain · « **Reply #493 on:** March 24, 2018, 09:27:55 PM »

I actually thought both were better in their very limited minutes. With how we play we don't need skill there, we need defense and rebounding, effort. It's literally not possible to give less than Mak did these last two games.

That was a shitty no contact foul.

cat97 · « **Reply #496 on:** March 24, 2018, 10:20:05 PM »

Mawien played his worst game in a long time.
first half we let post entries and then no help defense for the post. Impossible to stop a center with post moves from scoring if he receives the ball in the block and has time to work. Still the right strategy vs giving up threes. Second half we fronted Mongo and had better success stopping him.

Yes, and super gross that he actually has pretty good post moves. His lack of effort is maddening. Hopefully Jamar and other work his ass out in scrimmages or whatever this summer if that's a thing that happens.

Cire · « **Reply #498 on:** March 25, 2018, 10:36:56 AM »

I'm holding out hope that he just has the lowest bbiq OAT and just needs time and muscle memory to set in. Then he will be solid.

Like the laziness isn't a lack of effort thing, it's a I'm lost and don't know what to do thing.

If he was white, nobody would think he's lazy.
