Ferguson just seems very fundamentally sound on defense. He’s not relying on his athleticism although it does manifest itself at times. Most of the time he’s not leaving his feet for headfakes. He’s so long and lanky that his flat footed reach is long enough to contest shots. His offense is just so bad. He had some nice assists and I guess since he hits his free throws that means he can be a good shooter but man, it’s ugly. He does have the third highest net rating on the team now.

Grant is crazy good this year. In addition to hitting his 3's, his BBIQ is way up. Don't know if he can keep playing like this but if that's the case his contract would be the most valuable of our team.

it's 75% no melo. the difference between melo and the grant we've seen this season is huge. we can't do anything in pnr with melo, and virtually all options are open with grant. makes a huge difference and that's not even getting into the difference as rim protectors.

I'd disagree more strongly if it wasn't for what happened in Houston. How good does that make Roberson though, if he was capable of covering for scheme, Melo, and Westbrook?

probably one of if not the best defensive wing in the nba.

I don't have any data to back this up but I feel like he always struggles against Adams, who is one of the few bigs strong and smart enough to keep him off the glass.

Please ask @cavsfilmroom if the Pistons are still top tier. He blocked me lol

You're a terrible influence and I blame you when he blocks me.

I'd be more broken up about it, but I don't really need more Lakers film. I'm assuming Lebronfilmroom was already taken...

Side note, I can't give and-ones on my phone anymore it takes me to a broken link

With our full squad playing 100% and 2 GSW starters out, yes.

I don’t think the gap is that big.

They just beat GSW w/ Curry, albeit it’s Curry’s first game back. However, GSW has struggled with teams that have a strong front court. I think we match up better against Detroit.

As good as Okc was they still have alot of work to do Detroit missed quite a few open shots and easy layups.Also our offense needs to keep the ball moving we can look so good 1 min then seems like we go in a slump for 5 min.

Agreed, which makes me all the more sad that I don't think he's going to be back to form for a long time if ever.

I'd say there's like a 3 to 1 (conservatively) ratio white to Black people at a thunder game, and even more pronounced in the corporate seats.

I'm very concerned. One the one hand he's more than athleticism defensively. On the other his offense is so poor being absolutely superb on defense is his only reason to exist in the league. I'm afraid if he slips even just a bit he's out of the league.

Didn’t get to catch the game!

It sounds like our defense played awesome tonight. I don’t think that’s a coincidence seeing that Ferguson is back.

Zaza seems like a guy who rarely showers or brushes his teeth.
