I think Afflalo doesn't get enough credit for how well he as played during the year. Especially over the last 10 games.

3 fouls on Nicholson. Really has to work on his lateral quickness and post defense.

JJ's jumper looks like it's supposed to tonight. Hopefully Portland will continue to not guard him at all... :lol:

Yes that's his biggest weakness is the defensive end. He is battling and grabbing more rebounds than he has been but he just doesn't have the size and strength to be consistent there yet.

He has definitely improved on the rebounding front. He needs to focus on defense over the summer.
