    Definitely. His defense has been phenominal. He might be the best option to guard Davis.

    and I see the stat improve. but 11 over 5 is still pretty poor. It was 9 over 1 when I made the post.
    Keep this improvement up and we lead soon.

    Man Zach is really gonna be special in a year or so. He came to play. Big games don't seem to phase him.

    Alvin Gentry with a smart, very un-Stotts like timeout.

    He's 5-13 with 4 turnovers and clogging up the lane for everyone else.

    Let's play some fucking defense. Stay focused. They're trying to get as many cheap ones in transition as possible.

    He's been very solid tonight. Been better than CJ and Shabazz. His energy kept us from being down 20 the entire 4th.

    We need to keep running. We're so much better improvising in transition than in the halfcourt right now.
