Yeah not to be a broken record but when Suggs leaves the floor the defense just isn’t as good.

Miami started badly and out of sorts, but instead of punishing them and building a lead, we just kept turning it over and now likely to be trailing. Those are the swings that decide games.
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.

Well when one of the best guard defenders in the league is replaced by one of the worst...

We could've had real momentum early. Pump faked two open threes for turnovers.

I will say, it's a problem that AB is still not ready to slot in as Suggs' backup...

Tyus just doesn’t fit this team. Can’t defend and doesn’t play fast

I thought AB looked good in the first half. I might prefer him in the lineup with Bane over Tyus

Me and Tyus Jones both have no clue what he is doing on defense.
