    Honestly Usmans defense is overrated. He hustled and plays hard and is “tough” but that dude fouls all. The. Time,

    Bari is really going to let t-rex arms Bane guard him.

    Even that was trash defense. Way out of position. Got lucky it got poked. Possession before, out of position and let the cut through.
    How much of this is coaching and how much is players being mentally absent?

    I dont think anyone overrates Destiny's defense. Uzi just be running around out there because rockets have no defensive scheme. he's the Tari of Defense.

    He’s definitely talented enough to have more but he just doesn’t think pass first consistently enough. If he operated as a true point he’d have a bunch more but that’s not what he focused on.

    No. Tari is the Tari on defense. Usman is the hyper puppy that occasionally brings you back the ball. Doesn’t mean he knows how to play catch. Dunno if that’s a good metaphor. I’m drunk.

    That’s not true. He’s not a good defender but he has absolutely shown at times he capable of playing position and strong. But I’ve seen your posts before. You have a strong and evident bias.

    We only made two 3's while they did 6. It's always the case we are a terrible 3pt shooting team and that's why we can't stay competitive.

    I mean Tari just be running around on offense with no direction. And Destiny does the same on defense.. I hate analogies.
