    I think Horford fouled him as he rode him baseline on that last shot too, but he’s skinny so he’ll never get that call sadly.

    Definitely was all over BI’s wrist, but agreed he isn’t gonna get that call.

    Missed free throws and wide open threes.


    He's frustrating to watch on offense but made some nice passes and played good d

    They were? Defense looked like s*** with sprinkles of shut down lane ability.

    This is why he's so valuable. There's a reason why Luke keeps him in the 4th quarter to close games.

    If he defends a player to miss 5 shots, that's the equivalent of making 5 shots of his own.

    Ozzie Smith used to say that about saving runs for his team. However, in baseball, you can't play offense when you are playing defense. BI missed a free throw, missed an open 3 to take the lead and let Kyrie score on him all in a 30 second span. KCP and Lebron bailed his a** out to tie the game and Rondo Robert Horry'd to make up for his blocked lay up.

    Love his defense. Shoots too much for someone who can't shoot.

    I love his D too (same with Zo) but these guys need to make their shots and keep the defenders on their toes. 2 guys with ZRO offensive threat in the starting 5 is more than asking for trouble. Who ever thought, that we'll be looking for O in the young players :eek:

    Zach is one of the unbiased ones at Espn, but where was this talk on your network before the deadline?



    Btw, Rozier and Brown had better stats without Ky and Hayward last year...higher usage maybe?

    He is averaging 17 points on 48% shooting. He makes shots. He's actually pretty efficient. He just forgot how to shoot 3's when he put on the Laker jersey. Throw in his ability to play defense on guys ranging from Durant to Kyrie, he more than earns his spot out there.
