    We're an elite defensive team this year. 5th right now in points allowed. So 25 teams are playing worse than us. Keep that in mind,

    We are an elite defensive team when these guys put there backs against the wall and need to tighten up in the second half/4th quarter. First half we continuously get down by double digits and allow a high amount of points heading into halftime.

    We'v steadily been dropping due to all our injuries. When healthy we'v shown we can be a good defensive team this year just gotta get people back healthy again.

    I can understand that. But our bench has no solid defenders. Just a bunch of young offensive prospects....

    If Nico was playing tonight, he'd give Wall a lot more trouble..Nic is a big part of our backcourt defense

    we get consistent scoring from our starting PG/PF/SG and usually from Kaman as a bench player, after that it's a clusterfuk for any consistent scoring

    Blazers feeling them out. Looking at what Washington wants to do. Then in the 2nd half, we take that away.

    Kinda reminds me of the Rockets from 07, only scoring they could count on was Yao after that it was "who is going to show up tonight".

    That's more than most teams can say. Most OKC games, all they get is Durant and Westbrook.

    Scouting is no substitute for feeling it out in person. That's why we're gonna be a great playoff team. Once we know what you got, we take it away for the rest of the series.
