This is the pick-and-roll defense I genuinely don’t understand. Jimmy Butler isn’t Stephen Curry. You don’t have to blitz to prevent the 3. Bam is one of the best passing bigs on the planet. Andre Iguodala is in the dunker’s spot. This was either a guaranteed dunk or wide open 3. pic.twitter.com/2AjNtDKpsv
