Why are we constantly overhelping and trapping pick n rolls?

all while getting burned doing it, again, and again, and again

there was a pregame interview with doc, where he said that the new guys hadn't picked up the system quick enough and that's why they were trapping pick & rolls.

I would have thought letting them play through the learning curve was a better option then changing the way we play Pick & rolls all together.

We must have the most difficult defense to learning the history of basketball. A full preseason, 24 games, and guys still don't get it. Please. This is becoming a huge joke.

  Current play excepted, it's hard to argue with the results.

I've always thought the Celtics defensive philosophy has been to trap and recover on the pick and roll.  The problem hasn't been the trapping, it's been the recovering.
