Both of them have moments, but they dont play 30 mins of good defense, specially bev. But I agree with the fact of how difficult to play perimeter d nowadays, they play good defense for today's standards. But my point remains the same. The reason we are who we are on defense is because of dwight, and it is because of him that bev and ariza can play on peoples grill.
Magic already have 14 points in just over 4 minutes this quarter. The first quarter started off almost exactly the same way. Which tells me the starters are mentally checked out of this game. If they were gonna mail it in, McHale could've just rested them, forfeited this one, and had everyone rested for OKC.
This team is so F'ing frustrating the D tonight is laughable once again no effort and missing high % shots and layups by Howard, Smith, Dmo, and poor shooting by the entire team against a lottery team, unreal.... It's nights like this that make me hate being a fan of this team!
