I just watched a perfect example of a team in the crunch of the game that had post up offense as an option in its offense vs a team that for the most part does not.
The Mavericks, up 1 point had to defend a real post up player in Jokic and oddly chose to try and do it with a guy that is a very good defender but absolutely TOO small to go against a skilled BIG with post up skills.
That winning basket by Denver over Dallas was SUPER high % while on the other end the Mavericks offense is trying to pass the ball around the perimeter and the defense is totally able to disrupt it.
Denver spread the floor and because the post up was an option Dallas had to give up a good shot either outside or inside. Unfortunately they chose to give up the almost sure bucket in the post.
