    Chicago is showing Portland what you can do if you make more than one pass.

    We gave up 44 points that quarter it's seems like when we got CJ and Powell back and Little went down it's seems like the defense went shits.

    The calculus in deciding whether Ant should be a major part of our future has to consider his ability to improve on defense. He's getting cooked on that end tonight relentlessly. Only 22. But are the tools there to become even average?

    Hey, if CJ doesn’t have to play defense, why should he?

    cuz we don't want a repeat of Dame-CJ with Dame-Ant. I think they'll be better offensively, but Ant can't continue to be the sieve that he is now.

    Twice in a row Simons, his defensive tool that is missing is awareness.

    The big problem with Simons he didn't have to play defense in high school and a lot coaches at that level really don't know how to coach it properly. Simons just don't understand that part of the game yet like he knows how to score. Can learn sure if he wants to put the effort in it.

    You don't get many rebounds when your taking the ball out of the net. He just have 5 attempts might be another answer to question.
