Due to our lack of size we are forced to double down or " pack line it" to prevent the opponent from just throwing the ball over our heads to score. When you do that you also play off the perimeter players allowing for more open jump shots. So while it looks like we aren't playing good defense in fact we are defending the basket more so than the wing shooters.

If we get ahead the basket often appears to shrink for the opponent and applies more pressure on each shot.
