Defensive adjustments for second half

[Shell21]

Think we need to have more weak side help in the paint and trust our d to recover on the weakside. They are killing us with slips and paint touches because we are so worried about shooters even on the weakside. They are a great passing team so I think we are weary about helping too much but we need to change something. Also maybe trap or switch the pick and roll more as well.

When you’re beat, don’t foul and compound the issue. Stay out of foul trouble and on the floor and live to fight another possession (Cliff).

Absolutely not we can’t let them get open 3 pointer we need to keep guarding the 3

I think we play a bit more full court press

It's very possible that these points in the paint by ND are by design. Pike might have told the team to guard the 3 at all costs, but be aware that we'll give up a few in close.
