It was no accident that Donovan Mitchell went off. Adjustments have to be made, Denver cannot continue to run out this deep drop PnR coverage. Mitchell/Gobert are too good of finisher to give them a launching pad and Mitchell/Ingles are too good in PnR.

Example 1:
Example 2: No resistance on the ball handler, drops it off too Gobert who will always be able to finish over Jokic.
Example 3: Mitchell steps into a 3 with ease
Example 4: This is a decent level but Milsap leaves that split to be way too easy
Example 5: Can't let Mitchell get a running start to finish over Jokic
Example 6: Once again can't give him that running start
Example 7: Morris way too low, can't impact a potential pull-up and not close enough to stop Mitchell from getting into a straight line drive
Example 8: The lack of resistance here makes it easy to get it to Gobert in stride to finish over Jokic
Example 9: Way too good of a shooter to let him walk into one like this
Example 10: Another example of giving Mitchell a launching pad at the rim
Example 11: Inexcusable to provide this little resistance to a good shooter in general, but especially considering game situation and that the guy has been torching you all night
