Outside that, he’s been playing really well defensively.

That's honestly to be expected with how hard he is face guarding SGA most of the time. I hope he is ready for SGA's counter because it's coming.

Game is winnable. Take care of the ball, avoid giving up O-rebs just due to effort, and match the intensity and I think this team can pull it out.

"Hustle," I'm told.

It is jarring how much more contact he takes dribbling up the floor than a guard. He dishes it out of course, but you pretty much can’t touch a guard when they are running.

I love Giannis but he doesn't know how to let his guy stay hot... Dame drills a 3 and won't get a shot for 10 min

That's the way it should be for Giannis. Got lazy and slowly processed the 1st time to not play his advantage. 2nd time backed him down for an easy bucket. No way Caruso nor Williams should be able to guard him.

2 questionable calls on Giannis. But no challenge?

Tall ball
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
