He has been the last few weeks.
If by the last few weeks you're loosely really saying the last couple of games then I feel you. But I'd expect that from you and that other cheerleader of his. This type of play in this quarter from him hasn't been around for a minute.

Len would be an MVP candidate if he played against Vuc every game.

Man, if we are choosing between Fournier and Oladipo, I don't know how we don't stick with Dipo. Fournier is playing selfishly and his defense is disappointing.

Actually Payton has played pretty well for at least two weeks now.

We are letting PHX get confidence that is a bad sign.

Did Skiles finally bench Evan for bad defense...or is he in foul trouble?

I agree, I miss Vic when he's out whereas games without Evan seem to run every bit as smoothly.

It's stunning how bad this team's defense is. And with a noted defensive coach. Does it all boil down to Vucevic? Is he so bad defensively that no matter what else we do, we cannot be a good defensive team? I can't figure it out. Every team SKiles has taken over improves dramatically on defense. But these guys just suck.

It might be said it's foul trouble, 2 fouls. Not problematic but it's early.

Teletovic is having the best year of his career, but he looks woefully out of shape.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Dipo sometimes plays selfishly on offense but his defense is always impactful.
