Stop letting Gradey on the plane, it sucks paying people to work against you.

And a tanking team in the nets have a 4.3+ NRTG.

I don’t care lmao.

You’re not going to convince me that IQ, RJ, Ingram and Poeltl have been good defenders this year or that they deserve most of the credit for us being a great defensive team.


I'm just wondering who people think is a good defender? If you think Jak is average and Mamu is supposedly not a "real" back-up C, how are we the 4th best D in the league with below average defense at the C position which is supposedly the most important spot?

And IQ sucks, and Ingram sucks, and RJ sucks…

Battle is held to some next level standard. But Gradey can be a pylon all game and still get minutes.

And then?

Gradey can't secure a rebound

4 boards in 15 minutes. But he can't secure a rebound.
