    Leaving Bjelica wide open from the corner with no one within 20' might not be the defensive rotation most of us are hoping for.

    defensive rotations are abysmal tonight now that the Kings are moving the ball more. Wide open corner threes anytime they want it.

    True....but when this year's (lack of) defensive rotations look like last year's (lack of) defensive rotations, it is irritating.

    4 fouls in 8 minutes of play for Elleby. He's going for Zach Collins' record.

    I think you should be far more concerned that our on the ball defense looks like a lot like last year. That's the root of the problem.

    I think that they are trying to work on that, would prefer they just focus on defense first though

    I guess on the bright side, if we end up sucking this should be the end of Terry.

    Defense at the point of attack is not good.
