I'm on board with JoBer pronounced YoBear but I reserve the right for some Beringer Strait, Joan of development Arc, Joan of Altering the Shot Arc etc....

Are Rudy and Joan the Air Bers?

Beringer’s quickness on defense has been my favorite thing about him. He’s moving his feet faster than Andrew Wiggins ever did

The way Beringer is holding his wrist, I wonder if he’s done for the day. If he is, great debut.

And not thrilled with how Dilly, Clark, and Miller look so far, but TSJ is running point and is making great passes. As long as he can knock down open shots, I think he’s going to get a ton of minutes this year.

That, and hustle, and looks like his head is in the game the whole time. He will be so good.

My guess is they're telling him to be a pest. He's not gonna hold up physically but if he can buzz around guys and create chaos with the help we have on the backside he can effect the game defensively in his own way.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Being honest, I'm not sure what you are watching. Inefficent from the field, kind of a turnover machine, can't keep anyone in front of him defensively, and he keeps gambling for steals, leaving his teammates 4-on-5.

He has made three triples, but outside of the killer handles, it's been a concerning watch.

There is a huge difference between being a pest, and gambling in the backcourt and going for bad steals. He's been terrible defensively in every way.

Too many TOs true, but I've seen good stuff and I'm not going to sweat the small stuff. I'm encouraged.

Fair, but it's better than the clueless defensively 12 year old looking Rob we saw last year. Like he's rotating, I've seen him make a few good defensive plays. My thing is that I have no concern about Rob offensively. At worst he's a bench microwave in that area. But he needs to be able to do something, anything defensively and being aggressive on the ball is something.

Great hustle by Cain prevents a breakaway layup. He didn't get the block, but he disrupted Quinones enough to make him miss.

7 point lead heading into the 4th. Winning is all about desire. I want these guys to be like Larry Bird and hate losing even more than they love winning.

Throwing the rookie on ESPN is a choice
