Basketball: "Leaky"

Words wax and wane in popularity. "Leaky" seems to have caught on.

Some announcers apply it for players with a nosebleed or laceration.

Moreover, sorta leaky...

  • Transition defense...the Celtics allowed 18 Friday first frame points!
  • Half-court defense...seeing some teams allowing piles of layups off basket attacks.
  • Defensive boards, if lacking size and/or toughness 
  • Offense can leak with turnovers, poor passing, and sorry shot selection.
  • Absent foul discipline gets viewed as leaky.
Lagniappe. There's traditional leaking.
