I'm not mad it was a T there, but I was watching the Warriors play the other night and if you are calling that Draymond would get 30 a game. Just brutal double standards

Orlando’s defense has completely vanished this year, my goodness.

Kings close it out in Milwaukee, first time in 10 years they've won there.

Welp, it was a fun first three/four days of the season for Charlotte. Then Miller got hurt and it's like whatever. What date is the lottery again?

Stange thing is that Paolo wasn't the best defender in the past but he has leveled up on that end this year. Just strange.

Glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this. They need to change it back. They added nothing of value. Change for the sake of change.

Maybe there’s a scheme change I’m not aware of? Suggs, Bane, Black, Franz, and now Paolo are solid or better defenders. Isaac when he’s engaged and healthy. It’s only your centers that are questionable, and that’s always been true, even when things were working.

Tyus is bad, for sure. Dunno about TDS. What other new guys are playing?

Can they take Haliburton off the broadcast? I don't want to watch the game in split screen.

I've never understood why we have to see the person being interviewed, just put their name on the screen and we'll know while we continue to watch the game.

Just like that, the Wizards show us what no defense really looks like. Orlando should hire me as a ‘juju consultant’.

They don't have the legs this early in the season.

It was interviewed and they admitted last season they took breaks during he offense because they gave it their all on defense. That was why last season we shot late in the shot-clock and usually just gave the ball to Paolo. Everyone caught their breath during offense.

This season we are moving and scoring faster so the defense dropped off... I mean we are scoring above 100 now when last season we be amazed that our 3rd quarter score now is our final score last season.

It showed up in the second...hopefully they can remember it for the rest of the game.
