    That's our problem, we've got a 62 year old trying to defend Baynes; they need to put someone younger on him.

    I think Whiteside is one of the best defending centers in the league against players of a certain skill set. Any strong big, who can shoot threes can really expose his shortcomings. And I'm not knocking Whiteside.

    blindly chasing blocks every possession is not good defense. against anyone.

    I agree, that would not be good defense.

    If Dame isn't 100% he shouldn't be playing, and he's not 100% from what I can tell.

    The best defense on Baynes was played by Monty, subbing him out after scoring 19 points in 11 minutes. That's 2 times now Monty has done Stotts a favor in this game.

    Blazers on defense look like chickens with their head cut off.

    Was watching Nascar and they changed the format to where leading after certain "stages" counts towards earning points.
    They do that in Nascar.
