The Sun's have a great roster and coach and Mikal is great as a 5th option or whatever he is, but yeah that's an easy job. When you do PJ Tucker did it just as well against them. Nobody cares about wing defense because they can't stop any good players when it really matters. The same way PJ Tucker did nothing to slow down Durant
I have no idea how people still respond to you in a serious matter on this site. Ever since I've joined I don't think I've ever seen you make a coherent argument. You're really trying to say that Middleton scoring 40 in the finals, when that was in the game where the Suns tried the wall defense and neglected the Bucks perimeter players, as an example as to why perimeter defense is pointless. Jesus christ.
Couldn't even slow down Dillon Brooks last night in what should have been a free win for them. No wing is ever the best defensive player in the league. Sorry that ruffles your feathers.
First off, Dillion Brooks took 28 shots in that game just to reach 30 on 39% shooting from the field. He was 1/5 from three. In what way does that qualify as "couldn't slow down"? Second, most of the shots Brooks hit were within free throw line range. In fact, only two of his shots were from beyond that range. Third, and probably most importantly, Bridges wasn't even the one defending him for most of the game. Booker was. In fact, out of all the eleven shots that Brooks hit in that game, wanna know how many Bridges was guarding him on? One. Yeah, one. And that was a tear drop near the paint.
In other words, that's a hilariously bad example that continues to prove my point. Your takes are laughably bad and make no sense.
And wait, now you have to be the best defensive player in the league just to be valuable? A rim protecting big is almost always going to be the best defensive player in the league, because they will have a much greater impact on that end than a perimeter player ever will. But in this day and age where shooting from three is more valuable than ever before, perimeter defense is probably the most important thing you could have on a team. Without it, you are vulnerable to being shot out of the building by opposing teams who are capable of lighting you up from that end. The Cavaliers were a top 5 defensive team in the league until one of their top perimeter defenders were lost for the season to injury. Just losing him alone dropped them out of the top five and almost out of the top ten entirely, because teams just lit them up from the perimeter. Again, nothing you say makes any sense. I have no idea why there are people on this site who still take you seriously.
