🏀 Welcome back to the show, basketball enthusiasts! In today's video, we delve deep into the intricacies of bad offense in the NBA. A few weeks ago, we explored bad defense, and now it's time to shine a light on why certain teams intentionally target players on offense. Join us as we dissect offensive struggles, from missed shots to low IQ moments, and everything in between.
🛡️ Defensive Powerhouses vs. Offensive Liabilities
Ever wondered why teams keep players with questionable offensive skills on the court? It's often because these players excel on the defensive end. We kick off our discussion with the center position, where offensive shortcomings may be overshadowed by outstanding defensive capabilities. Case in point: Jaren Jackson Jr., an elite defender with a below-average field goal percentage. Is defense enough to justify offensive struggles?
🤝 The Pick-and-Roll Predicament
Centers not only defend near the rim but also play a crucial role in pick-and-roll situations. We explore the nuances of effective screens, legalities, and the art of rolling to the basket. Some centers struggle with the pick-and-pop, attempting threes without the shooting prowess, while free throw shooting becomes a critical factor in close games.
🏀 Confidence: The Silent Offense Killer
Moving on, we dive into the psychological aspect of bad offense-players lacking confidence. Ben Simmons, once an All-NBA player, now faces scrutiny for passing up scoring opportunities due to shooting insecurities. We discuss the impact of fear of judgment on a player's performance and how it can lead to a complete offensive breakdown.
👊 Embracing Failure: The Poku Perspective
Taking inspiration from players who overcome adversity, we highlight Alex Pokujeski's journey. Despite early struggles, Poku remained confident, learned from failures, and emerged as a valuable NBA player. His resilience serves as a lesson for all aspiring athletes.
🤔 Low IQ Moments and Game-Changing Mistakes
Lastly, we examine instances of low IQ moments in bad offense, using Jayson Tatum's rare lapses in the Eastern Conference Finals as a case study. Even top-tier players can succumb to pressure, abandon plays, and make costly mistakes when emotions take over.
🌟 The Steph Curry Standard
To wrap up, we reflect on the natural offensive prowess of players like Steph Curry. Analyzing his instincts, movements, and decision-making, we appreciate how some players seem born to excel on the offensive end.

Not sure if you’ve done it before but a video on what makes a bad/good coach would be nice. Pop & Kerr have been getting a lot of slander lately
Kind of. I did a video about whether coaches matter or not. Still plenty of meat left on that bone though.
They both suck bc they refuse to adapt
@@docmemphisthey don’t both suck, they just have flaws in their coaching ability just like every other coach in basketball history.
@@henry7486 great coaches adapt to personnel and the game. systems and philosophies have lifespans. something can work for a extended period of time until it doesn't. think of it as a game of strategy like chess, you don't approach every match with the same philosophy, you react to the game and reinvent your strategy. Hence y the continuity they once had is no longer sustainable. rigidity is their flaw
@@docmemphis yeah ik. I said they have flaws, it just doesn’t make them automatically suck. Otherwise every coach in the history of basketball sucks
As a Celtics fan, Jayson Tatum’s biggest flaw on offense is his mental game. If he feels he should have gotten a call he will chuck up some garbage, and when the whistle doesn’t blow he turns to argue with the refs instead of following the ball for a potential second chance opportunity. His game would take another half step up in terms of production if he could just stay cool under pressure every game.
I would say that 75% of the league has this problem. I think Tatum and Luka are the biggest stars who fall victim.
JJJ’s fg% would also be way worse since he takes more jump shots than most other centers. Rudy Gobert is gonna be more efficient if all he does is lobs and putbacks while JJJ is doing pick and pop 3s, elbow jumpers, etc
True. I should check and see how many attempts he's getting too.
I pray this guy makes it. He truly deserves it. Very underrated. My new favorite CZcamsr.
Thanks for the prayers, man!
to be fair, JJJ is a 4 who has been forced to be a 5
true. a bit undersized. he's still developing his game too.
Stellar vid as always.
This felt like advice to me as a pick-up basketball player
double down on what you're good at for pick up. that's my advice. Ain't no free throws.
as a bucks fan it’s so sad seeing marion beauchamp lose his confidence because when he is feeling it he’s great
yeah, I like him too. He'll regain it.
Man this Made me realize I need to improve freethrows percentage and keep the passing lane on pick and rolls.
Free throws are crucial
5:55. Strus is on him like *WILD* on rice.
Like Basmati on wild rice.
@@whatslapsLOL.
dude youre channel is so underated hahahha ! nice video, gained a sub
sweet! thanks for the sub, man!
I really do feel for guys like Ben Simmons who let one play get to them so bad they become a laughing stock. This is a guy that gets borderline bullied by media for his mental health struggles which i don’t think is right at all. Still think he’s got issues and i’m not a Ben Fan at all but still doesn’t feel right hearing making fun of a guy whose career fell apart.
yeah, he's gotta humble himself. I think he's had a lot of yes man in his life who never kept it real with him. I think that's the saddest part, it doesn't seem like he has anyone in his life that cares enough to check him.
if whatslaps has a million fans im one of them.
if whatslaps has 10 fans im one of them.
if whatslaps has only 1 fan then thats me.
if whatslaps has no fans, that means im not on this earth anymore.
if the world against whatslaps im against the world
Good to have a friend in the world.
i wish we will have another Ben Wallace of this era. but I guess we wont because the game evolved so much compared to what it was back then. its just fun to see defense dictates the game and that Pistons anchored by Wallace was fun to watch, until they started falling off ofcourse.
If they started allowing more physical defense. we'd see some more bruisers for sure. Given how much people enjoy the NFL, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
It's always good for players to have confidence. Even if Ben Simmons can't shoot, he's never going to get better at it if he doesn't ever shoot
he's gotta chuck
ben saw this and took it personal last night 😭😭
good!
I need a corndog now
costo baby
Very guilty of making a bad play and trying to make up for it 😂
My mates would not let me get away with that anytime soon 🏃
yeah, you still want to be a hero though.
what’s good mister jelly schnitzel who’s your favorite US President in history? What’s your favorite donut
FDR are I'm basic, but he's the GOAT. Nixon is the most interesting though. raspberry jelly or bavarian cream fill.
Great video. Again
thanks again!
JJJ’s fg% has also been low because he’s been forced into a scoring role because of Ja being hurt
yeah, he's good. one of my favs
Thanks!
Thanks brother. The support is always appreciated.
Fantastic video
thanks man!
It's kinda wild that someone can be a PROFESSIONAL basketball player and be so poor on offense (in any way, FG%, FT%, not knowing how to move or where to be on the floor). Even though, like you explained, their defense makes up for it enough that they're considered valuable enough to play on the team. Although, like you also said, *somebody* has to be the worst in any given category, it is still pretty crazy for those certain guys to have that big of a disparity. But I guess the concept holds true because I would still want JJJ or Wallace on my team. However somebody I probably wouldn't want on my team is lack-of-confidence guy. If somebody shows that they are clearly not ready or willing to at least try to be a threat on offense (in ways that they should be capable of) then it is rough to be out there on the court with them. Poor Benny(?), what the HECK happened?! With that same idea, I would take Poku on my team. Low b-ball IQ is always ugly to see too, again PROFESSIONAL player, this is your job, this is what you get paid (very well) to do well, gotta do better than the low IQ moments. I feel privileged to be able to watch Wardell Stephen Curry II play basketball. The guy is an offensive master, S tier level all time in the history of the game. Great vidzo, thank you, you da manzy.
I felt a little bad about talking about triple J. He's by no means a wallace or rodman. He just happens to have the lowest FG%. Although I did let him off the hook for his rebounding. Simmons basically has the same problem that big ben who come into the league have. They've been good all their life and their self-worth comes from basketball. As soon as they start to lose their ego, they lose interest in the game. Better to be a TJ Mcconnell who has been told his whole life that pursuing basketball is bad idea. Poor Steph can't do it all, they're literally playing lester quionnes to solid minutes. Not sure what steph is supposed to do.
The Spurs are reminding us of another cardinal sin of offense: failing to identify a mismatch.
they should go to wemby every time.
Always fire
every monday baby
Love the video but the JJJ part needed a bit more context. He is a good defender but he actually provides a ton of value on offense as a shooter. His FG% is low because he shoots the most from 3 rather than anywhere else. Second is 3-10 feet and third is 0-3 ft, only being 20 percent of his shots.
yeah, I didn't mean it to be a hit piece but it came out that way
Im not a grizz fan and I am not against JJJ being in a bad offense video. The reasoning is just moreso his shot selection. Maybe he shouldbt be taking 5 threes a game? Maybe he needs more looks at the rim? Either way, just recently found your channel and I love it. Keep it up!@@whatslaps
great video
I appreciate the appreciation.
@@whatslaps just had an idea idk if you've done this perhaps a vid going over some of the worst nba contracts and the effects they had on franchises
See Poku in thumbnail, clicks video, Sadly I think his value has been boiled down to his contract expiring this year. Missed training camp with an injury and has played less than any other player on the OKC roster this year.
yeah, maybe he'll be traded to a rebuilder.
@@whatslaps I'm sure there's a team out there that could use a 7 footer that might need a minutes restriction for awhile. The Suns and Heat are always looking for cheap contracts haha
Commenting so the algorithm picks up on it
may it bless me.
Most underrated basketball youtuber
I'm blushing.
I’ve always like your vids but today i think you got the part on JJJ wrong.
He a PF not a center(yes that matter) who stretches the floor and showed capability to create his own shot, he is a 3rd option behind Ja and Bane so he obviously won’t do that every game and he’s far from being bad on offense even though he might be clumsy sometimes (offensive fouls).
Apart from that great vid
yeah, didn't mean to come across negative. he's good.
I’m a simple man. I buck therefore I sub
Life ain't that complicated.
@@whatslaps any chance we can get a doc rivers roast video? I just don’t like him
nah, not my style. I'm ambivalent towards him. I think that's most people though.
another awesome vid👌
much appreesh
I saw poku in the thumbnail
I'm hoping he gets traded to somewhere where he can develop. He's been out of the rotation all season.
How soon after you made this video was poku cut? Lol. I think he just re-signed yesterday with Charlotte on a show me contract. Charlotte loves OKC cast-offs.
about 15 days
Maybe Poku wasn't a good example. 😆
he sure wasn't. oof
how about embiid relying on free throws?
you gotta respect numbers on the board.
@@whatslaps but he averages 12.2 fts a game 💀
do you edit your own videos?
sure do
@@whatslaps love it
Jaren Jackson Jr is not a center
Who's the center?
Ben Wallace is NOT the greatest defender of all time… taking Hakeem, KG, Tim Duncan over him any day
top 5?
Stop using those stupid sound effects pls
I can't stop
