Very few teams play zone these days

And the ones that do, don’t do it for very long. I think we should’ve adjusted earlier and double teams Donaldson off the screens. Sure that would leave somebody open for a second, but he was just killing us. And I don’t know what Tobi was thinking when he ran out body checked him instead of playing solid defense. I think he had a “little rush to the head“, as they say.
