- Bottleneck 01
First-man cheat that arrives a half-second too early, leaving the second man as the free-est player on the field
- Bottleneck 02
Defensive third boost grabs done before clearing the ball, not after
- Bottleneck 03
Backboard saves redirected straight up the middle without a second touch plan
- Bottleneck 04
50/50s won mechanically but lost positionally — ball flies into a 1v0 against your goal
