    I thought Harden also did a great job on AD as well. Tucker is one of th most versatile defenders in the league so yeah.

    Ariza has done a great job on AD in the past, but PJ was incredible tonight. We should not fear anybody this season, our team has tools to take advantage against any opposition

    This is probably the best defensive team Pringles has ever had so excuse his excitement.

    He still gets blown by easily because of his weight and because he’s short players just shoot right over him. He does hustle and plays hard all the time which is nice.

    Harrell is significantly better than Anthony Davis. You can only hope to contain him.

    True, no great defender has ever been lit up before. MDA needs to think about this one.

    He's our new Chuck Wagon reincarnated as a slimmer, quicker and 3pt shooting beast!

    Plus he's hopped up on bath salts prior to playing his old team so it's not that big a deal

    Seems like he's been garbage at shooting lately though. Teams leaving him open on purpose
