Now you're blaming Drummonds defense on Smith? :roll:

I think Drummond was reacting last year without thinking about what he was doing, seemed like better results but he can't play that way for 30+mpg without getting in foul trouble plus guys will catch on to what he's going to do. Sheed has been working with him and I'm sure he's just in that "in-between" stage of the learning process, I expect him to look much better by the end of the year, not concerned at all.

I'm probably one of the few who has been outspoken about Drummond's lack of hustle during some games. Have you even watched Josh on Defense? He is never on his man. He is always running around. We get it. You love Josh and hate Monroe. The funniest part is, you apologize for all these things for 10 year vet josh smith, but Moose can do no right.


I think you're confusing me with some other posters because I defend Monroe quite a bit, especially lately with all the hyperbole around here. I'm well aware how Josh plays defense against SF's but he doesn't play the same way against most PF's except the guys that strictly hang out on the perimeter.

God, this team is such a mess that I can't pinpoint exacts.
