Is this the April Fool's Defense? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vA4U2PKqh8s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Why would Parsons care? He has played terrible D all year and will continue to do so. He'll still play 40min.
I agree his defense is awful, but I think it's still better than Lin's if that's even saying anything at all.
I don't think he made any contact with the arm. Parsons wasn't expecting him to turn. He was bracing for contact and was caught totally off balance. Not that bad. It happens.
That was just a single bad D play. Parsons didn't expect him to turn so quickly after getting the ball.
