    I think LMA is a very solid and a smart defender.

    That doesn't say anything about his defense, but rather the defense of the players he plays with. If you just watch the game you'll see that he's abysmal when it comes to help defense - he is literally unable or unwilling to slide away from his man to protect the rim. And he always commits touch-fouls resulting in and-ones, rather than laying hard fouls and sending someone to the line for two shots with a sore wrist. There is no evidence that will support the idea that LMA is a good help defender.

    Bullshit officiating - catch your own airball and put it back up, no whistle. Not like it was in traffic and wasn't clear.

    Thing is, we knew we wouldn't win cause you were going. That it isn't a blowout yet is a bonus!
