    So fucking what? He's 2-5 with an awful turnover, awful defense, and awful rebounding.

    If he scores 4 points, he's not playing bad no matter what else he's doing?

    Basketball is more than scoring points dude.

    Even with Ed, we have the same issue.

    And he's given up more defensively than he's scored. He's failed to box out. He had a horrible turnover. He played solid last game but this game he's been trash.

    I just don’t understand how he can be so bad at defense, he’s so big...

    Ehhh, I don't think so. Remember Zach and Ed playing off each other in the Clippers game? We got 5 dunks in a row or something like that. Ed rebounds our jumpshots and finishes inside, and is a great pick n roll big.

    He gets low when trying to contest inside. He doesn't jump, he squats and puts his hand up. He makes himself 6'0 tall when he's a 7 footer.

    Zach has an inside game. He lacks the strength to put it to use though.

    Zach hesitated. I don't like him shooting if he hesitates. Catch and shoot with rhythm, take time to shoot in rhythm, or don't shoot.

    Even when Zach misses shots, he's still valuable because he defends. Just contested two layins into misses that would've been scores if it were Meyers defending.

    Biggie, a fadeaway hook shot is not a good shot...

    Dirk should just retire. His 3s are poor.

    Dallas may be the team that will try to throw money at Nurk this summer, they can’t have that much salary. We will match but they could make it expensive.

    Biggie should just take the 5 footer instead of trying to post up.

    Biggie hasn't exactly been great either. But his ceiling is higher than Meyers.....way higher......and he has an excuse of not having played all season until recently.
