David Lee's defense is ugly

D Lee did everything you could ask for tonight--what else can he do? David Lee is a unique player. I don't think anyone correctly evaluates David Lee--he is on the cusp of being a franchise type talent.

He need to stop those dumb assed passes he tries to make

D'Antoni didn't order a foul.

But on the bright side, he wants everyone to remain happy.

Sounds like he had no intention on giving the foul. He wanted a stop, no fouls. Like I said he got hot on Chandler at the end of that Bulls game for fouling with a foul to give which I thought was correct on Chandler's part.

So wait he left the decision up to Jeffries on whether to foul or not? Come on.

Would've rather had Jeffries on the inbounder and Chandler on Roy. Even so Lee had a chance to block him or draw a charge and he did a poor job closing out.


You can't blame Lee because that is the way he plays defense, like Matador

He's not a shotblocker so I don't know if you can put this on him. Everyone knows about his interior defense. Why not instruct Jeffries to foul and btw, I didn't like the fact that Jeffries sat so long and just got thrown into the game, Chandler too.

Nice way of taking the blame off the actual players who were asked to defend the basket for 4.3 SECONDS and put the blame on the coach....

Just watching the replay makes me want to break something. Jefferies cleared a path for him. I really don't understand the idea to not foul

That is simple coaching. You throw cold guys in there and tell to get their energy up right away. Nice way of taking the blame off the coach for fudging it up on not telling his guy to FOUL...

Franchise players are able to make a basket down the stretch when the team needs it...Lee couldn't deliver. Franchise players should be able to make a stop on the defensive end. Lee couldnt; deliver. Maybe its you who isn't eveluating Lee properly

Foul or no foul, are telling me its that hard for NBA players who pocket millions of dollars yearly, to play solid defense for 4 Seconds?

^ Yes, or else there wouldn't be great finishes. That's like saying closers can't give up runs in the ninth inning because they make millions of dollars. Please rethink that logic. It doesn't matter how much you get paid.

Game of runs

We came up cold late..

That last shot by al, that left handed junk shot was ridiculous..

nate was hot, but when nate got cold, he continued stupid shots..

Outlaw was huge..

Why start wilson and gallo , they start off well and you bench them?

bad way to lose the game.... but who didn't see this comming..

Oden is a doof/ and don't post his useless stats, it was a garbage game...

Lee had a good game, outplayed their bigs, he needs help..

Time to just let gallo and wilson play , i had enough of seeing Al, jeffries and nate to some extent..

Stop nitpicking at words and answer the question.....is too much for a coach to expect his team to defend for 4 seconds?
