    We need to build our defence with some wood, nails, & a hammer.

    Blazers have become very good at switching and that should be useful against the Suns. For as good as Roy was on offense, he was just OK on defense. I don't think we lose anything on the defensive end from losing Roy. Batum, Webster, Miller and sometimes Bayless and Rudy can all be good defenders.
    Rudy has a very hard time with physical players, but he is actually very quick with his hands and quite animated on defense. He might end up being a good option against Nash if Batum is needed to cover more ground.
