To a point. Execution and effort are really important, and we're not seeing that. The team was riding a high after the Wade celebration and woke up tonight in an NBA game against a team that was finished being embarrassed. They needed to be professionals and came up short.
I agree that the players needed to show more effort, but you can only battle someone that is out of your size and weight category so much. Spo had KO on the bench and did not utilize him. Not sure why.
Oh, I see. Well that doesn't give Duncan Robinson a pass on his crappy defense of Larry Nance Jr. If that's your assignment, you don't mail it in like that. Sometimes Nance got the ball when *NOBODY* was beside him. That's a missed assignment that has little to do with size & weight and more to do with paying attention and not just watching the ball.
