No it doesnt, Cook or Bell cannot guard Harden or Paul, notice how neither one has gotten much playing time, they cant defend and Kerr knows that.
We haven't adjusted to their size defensively. Looney has been a good stiff to burn tough fouls and make the guards work against his length. They also box out enough for offensive boards. Some of these are correctable as long as they continue to try beyond the no call hacks.
Nothing Iggy has done defensively has hurt us. He’s open on offense. Defense is solid but not noticeable. Cook can explode for 16-17. Bell is a wild card. Much more active and quicker.
I mean if that were true why woulndt Kerr have played them more? Cook can do that and if we are not careful he could burn us but tbh he's also a liability defensively just like Bell. I mean even look at last game Harden got switched onto Bell and then he got two easy layups(one missed ) and then Kerr took him out.

Ok, so let's win game 4 and come back to Houston tied 2-2. It would completely erase the last lost. All the team needs to do is win one on the road to get it back to a series and we have one more shot to do it.
