Yeah, all those switches on Aldridge, who's feet are nailed shut to the ground, is exactly what good defense is. "Back in the day" bro it's not 1990's video. It was horrible defense then as much as it is now.
People are really acting like this was an eternity ago. That Blazers defense was incredibly bad and got shredded by the spurs in the playoffs around this same time. They were notoriously bad coming off picks and either switched or went under screens 90% of the time.
People are also acting like this was unheard of at the time for a shooter to take these kinds of shots. The other team in this clip are the blazers who had Lillard and took just as many if not more off the dribble 3s. If anyone was familiar with those shots it was them
