His instincts are correct, his communication, though, might be the problem. Or it could have just been Dame's slow recognition, as we see him eventually peel off and look for a rotation in the paint.
If Giannis commits to the help and switch, he must be yelling at Dame to switch off and pointing to his man at the top, and Dame should be expecting this, especially if they have a switching rule with bigs on guards.

It's impossible to know what *should* have been done there because I've seen other G/F high PnRs where Milwaukee straight switched it. I haven't seen other peels like that. Also, I haven't watched every minute of their games and don't have second spectrum so I may be missing it
Anyways, peeling like that on the perimeter only helps your big from having to come up and contest if they're in drop. If you're just doing G/G G/F PnR asking Lillard to peel is just going to result in him getting blown by and now Giannis is stuck in the corner coming to contest
