Is that defensive efficiency really league best?

Great point about the C’s coaxing them into midrange Js.

And I have to disagree about Brian Davis. He may have read the memo about the Cs before the game, but he had zero basketball insight and no personality.

This is the best post-game breakdown all season. Well done, boys.

Some key things: our defense was relentless tonight. Our rotations were quick, but more importantly, there was just lots of defensive intensity. We didn’t take too many plays off. We ran the floor really well tonight: we had our fast break points but also got back on transition defense so well. Finally, our bigs just dominated theirs. Simple as that. Our bigs are stronger, quicker, and spread the floor much more effectively.

4-0 road trip. A great early stocking stuffer.

About Sheed’s weight: Ric Bucher on an interview with Ryen Russillo on NBA today (espn podast) said that sheed always played his way into shape but that seeing him in the lockers was traumatizing. His belly fat was just overflowing his shorts. Ric also made a good point that with big baby out wallace has to play more minute then he should due to his weight and that is a big reason why some players get injured.
Has not happen so far but it’s something worth watching.
