    Announcers always talk Mbah a Moute up as a great defender, but it seems like whenever I've ever seen him he gets lit up by whoever he's guarding.

    What do you mean from a shooting perspective it's not useful. 43% sucks, every coach would love t hold an opponent to that.

    And what if you're a team that doesn't get a lot of steals or fast break points? if you hack-a-player who shoots 43%, you are limit their offense to .86 points per poss.
    That is a full tenth better than the best defensive team in the league, the Spurs. Before you say it's dumb, dumb, dumb, you need to show us some stats that can show how the increase in PPP from potential fast break points on those hack-a-plays outweighs the opporutnity to get elite defense.

    And of course, if you are behind, you might want to use this tactic to stop the clock.

    CJ bringing it. Nice to see. I'm loving Plumlee's energy as well.

    Until we learn how to play defense, or commit to a better effort, it's going to keep happening.

    Those off ball screens that Mbah Moute is laying are hard to get through.

    We should stick one of Harkless/Aminu on Redick and CJ on Mbah A Moute. They can get around screens better than CJ and we could switch those downscreens, as both can guard big men.

    Good to see CJ will eclipse his showing from last game. Badly needed.

    On a fast break? No reason for Cj and Aminu to leave him open.

    Kaman should've gone inside for that last rebound.

    Edit: Oh right, he can't jump

    Do they wear sunglasses indoors, bleach their hair blonde, and say "dude" a lot?
