    I'm with SVG. The defense hasn't been all that bad.

    I think he would be a great small ball Center. I don't like the way the way we use him as small ball Center. Should use him exactly like Capela. I would like to see him setting picks and rolling to the rim instead of making him shoot threes.

    I am not buying it until our in house expert confirms it....
    @BasketMAD

    or should we take his absence the proof of the defenses existence?

    I guess you have to have been a coach in the league to truly understand what good defense is. My apologies, SVG.

    I think the small lineups are mostly dead. We don’t play PJ at 5 nearly as much as we used to because we get killed with no rim protection. I don’t think we can play Clark like Clint because he is too small and not very explosive. He will probably get his shot blocked if he ever tries to get a layup.

    No consistency. I’d like to see us play an entire quarter of solid defense. Gotta say the Van Gundy’s know defense, though. Maybe there’s hope.

    he emphasized that both teams were attacking the rim, aggressively . . . there were no matador defense situations of just lazily letting guys blow by anyone

    Defense is terrible.

    Cant stop them from getting to the paint and cant contest at the rim
