    No you quit your job and cut video and send me the proof he’s a good defender and good at team defense. I’m the only one giving even one example of my position here.

    Not upset at all. We played great. We didn't have quite enough offense and the refs ****ed us. I will continue to lobby for Tari. He needs more minutes and shots. We have had such a hard schedule and once it softens a bit we will start stacking wins.

    We have a very balanced team offensively.

    Different players can step up on any given night.

    He's definitely been a good defender this year. Effectively recovers from most screens, doesn't allow backdoor cuts and recovers well enough to deflect back door passes. Has recovered and blocked shots off screens also. And when a offensive player tries to go one on one with him he usually holds his own.

    He has been a pretty decent one defender this year and synergy metrics show that.

    And I will once again tell you that about Comments you don't like. I have a hard time listening to someone that is not keen on taking their own advice.

    Also I ignored about 20 comments before I finally responded today but I like following on this chat as it is part of my game watching experience and it totally ruins that experience with the constant complaining the minute he does anything wrong. It is not so easy to ignore.

    He can’t play in the 4th. It’s nowhere near absurd.

    Lebron, shouldn't you be flopping for fouls.

    Don't you notice how you went from him being horrible this 4th quarter to shifting your goal posts to platitudes about him just being a bad defender. You can't stick to your original premise so you keep on expanding our to more vague claims because you know vague platitudes are hard to counter because of their encompassing vague nature.

    When fans have to look the ref up, it's not a good sign.

    I think the thing with Jalen, is that he's probably not as bad as we are making him out to be. Its just....its really hard for me to see his value on the court right now. Like what is he providing us right now?

    Bobby "crazy eyes" Portis Jr. was really getting on my nerves early in the game.

    Here are my thoughts:

    First of all if you are mad at this team for this loss you ain't got a clue. We have a couple of 21 yr Olds and some role players and we are up against contenders featuring 2 of the best to ever play in their primes. Bucks have 3 perennial all stars on their team+ref help/bias the fact that the Rox were even close is a testament to this team.

    Secondly if you somehow think Jalen is responsible for the loss then sorry to say you are dumb AF. Jalen had 16/2/7 on 54% FG and 50% from 3 and you think he is the problem? So what if he had a couple bad possessions? He wasn't guarding Lillard or Giannis. So what if he didn't go off for 40? He had 7 Asts he was making plays. You just dumb AF and don't even realize Rox got out rebounded by 17.

    Oh oh oh but Jalen was lazy on the court. So he was the only guy who was supposed to get those 17 rebs? Tate and Holiday played hard how come they both didn't score a single point? Smh.

    If you want to back up your point he’s a good defender have at it. Ime would love to learn that so he could keep him on the court in the 4th. Otherwise being condescending is a b**** move. Make your point but if you can’t don’t tell me I’m not watching because you can’t.
