The entire team is lost when it comes to defending screens. The drop coverage philosphy is confusing everyone. Kidd needs to just simplify it and have them switch everytime...regardless of what players are involved and even if it results in a center on an island. I'd rather live with that happening than have 2 players stuck in no-man's land and then the opponent can simply move the ball around for a wide open three.
Pretty much adopt the same strategy that opponents are using on the Mavs offense. If one player scores on a mismatch then fine but you're not going to let them consistently move the ball around and get good looks for their entire team. 30+ assists allowed in every game on the road trip and 26 yesterday vs. the Sixers (who only averaged 24 and are bottom-10 in the league).
