Trae's defense tonight was garbage.

It’s rarely going to be decent or good.

Great game from Cam and Jones. Got murdered on the glass though.

He definitely can't make that claim any more.

[Plainview1981]

Cam contributed some.

Bembry's defense is flat out garbage!!!

True, he's a coach, not a magician.

Description of Parkers defense - he talks on defense! What do you do with that? If you can fix that let me know.

[hawkman]

This was just bad basketball. I'll reserve judgment until the Hawks are full strength. But this looks bad.

Dude cannot coach defense at all

 

I remember Thibs (for all his faults as a head coach) made his teams play good defense

 

Can't say the same about LP

He can make plays when he gambles and he's flying around. But just playing strait up is not his strength.

[NBASupes]

Wings outside of Reddish were beyond awful. Hunter!

[Plainview1981]

Well, they can beat a team that is missing 3 all stars. Just not anyone else.

Parker's defense sucks but he's not the only one who plays sorry defense and I'm really talking about improving team defense not individual defense

Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson, Joakim Noah - good defenders in their own right.

The coach doesn't have to play the poor defender.  Especially when the poor defender doesn't have it going offensively.

The best team defenders are . . ironically . . the 3 rookies.

[NBASupes]

Travis better make sure we get real wings this offseason outside of the rookies

That's not the only team he coached lol

 

He was an assistant coach for years remember. And his defensive acumen is what led a particular team to a title

What's the alternative at PF? Vince, no no wait for it - Bruno 

[Plainview1981]

Who is worse: Pierce or Schlenk?

Bruno is definitely the alternative.  He's really the only option and chance LP really has.  

Bruno can play the 4 because he's laterally quick enough to do so.  And he'll help with the rebounding woes.

 

Coach is in love with Vince, Turner, and Jabari . . so, it is what it is.
