    lmao. no, he isn't. he'll help offensively, but isn't exacerbating (we're already bad) or fixing it.

    Having Austin back actually could help the defense if it means LeBron could exert more effort on that end. Obviously not a solution, but could help.

    better offense also = less playing defense in transition.

    missing a guy who was playing like reaves is kind of a big deal. like if sengun goes down for houston, they're going to struggle.

    But @JSM you’re just “glazing” our “golden boy” too with the actual stats. ;)

    Wait- I thought the defense was worse with Austin?
    Interesting that’s a false narrative.
