Our guards defense has been suspect, we're letting guys get too much points and especially rookie guys. We let Morant and Brooks go off on us and now we let these 2 no name guys go off too. Put Nwaba in please. Man this is a bad loss. I would rather have Rose go off for 30 on us than those 2, and Rose didn't even play and we still lost.Looks like Durmmond dominated Jordan, so much for the "big body" experiment. We beat a playoff team yesterday but lose to an 8th seed team at best, man I'm upset at this lost. We keep losing to these scrub teams, it will bite us in the end of the year.
Kyrie is a great point guard but he doesn't play any defense at all. That's exactly why Ja Morant looked good and why a Bruce Brown gave them problems. There's no attention to defense from the point guard position.
Its early in the season, but so far the defense is a problem and it starts at the point.
we are 6 ppg better per 100 possesion with kyrie on the floor defensively. he has been average defensively. he plays plenty of defense. 3 strips of ja morant in the 4th/OT kept us in that game
