    Bad teams are like a dream come true for scorers like CJ. The defense is so bad that he can get any shot he wants.

    You're overreacting. Quit having a meltdown because I said we missed good shots and they made tough ones. Sit down.

    Jesus dude.

    When did ET decide to play Elite Defense all of a sudden. That Houston game came out of no where for me and tonight he's had 4 possessions where's he's played basically perfect defense. I say this is someone who has complained like crazy about ET too...

    Drawing a foul when crashing to offensive boards should count as an offensive rebound.

    Ed Davis and Nurk would love that.

    It's weird. He's really inconsistent.

    He's a smart defender but he's matchup dependent. Against a speedier wing he'll get burned, but against bigger guards that are used to bullying smaller defenders he holds his own. Harden likes knocking people back to create space but it didn't work on Turner very well.

    Nurk in the post makes all the difference.

    Seems like the refs want this game to end as quick as possible. Not a lot of ft's even though there's been a lot of contact by both teams.

    How the hell Sean Miller has never been to the Final Four with talent like Marrkanen and Trier blows my mind.

    The worst part of his defense is some of the fouls he commits. Little slap fouls on layups.

    Yeah he's handsy and reaches a lot. Sometimes it works and looks great, the rest of the time it fails miserably. Kind of like... literally everything else he does on the court.

    I think Zach has some of those same issues too.
