Lopez thought he'd dribble around 3 people and throw up a shot. Can a vet pass please

Wait… you’re expecting Cole to play defense? :lol:

Cole Anthonys revenge. You piss him off, you get a fist to the dick. That's how it goes.

Ah, I said I'd love it if he did and to Cole's credit, no defensive lapses since my post. He also contested a Rozier 3 (where Terry kicked out his feet to get a foul) and the shot missed.

He's up against it due to his size but you can get buy on D with effort and brains. The question for him is whether he wants to work his arse off to become better at something which isn't glamerous.

Some people just have low BBIQ. He goes under screens when players are going off on him… how can a player lack THAT much awareness? I’m just not sure there’s any fixing that.

Agree to disagree here. I think that's low-hanging fruit.

Six turnovers for Suggs. Anyone that thinks he can be successful without tightening up that handle is nuts

Hmm, Okeke with 11 boards. One thing we may have worked out over the last few games is that we don't get smacked on the boards with him at 4. Nor do we get punished by bigs. Maybe he works at the 4.

Now just to have him make more shots.

You would think it’s low hanging fruit. As someone who has managed VERY intelligent engineers (some MUCH smarter than me), I can tell you that correcting common sense issues sometimes isn’t trivial :lol:

Undoubtedly, it needs to be a major focus this off-season
