Ill give you that. Shump is better to have on the floor then those streaky chuckers.

How sad is that for the state of our "shooting" guard position? VERY BLOODY SAD

Guess what.. it sucked.

Acy was the lesser of evils IMO. At least he was energetic and even blocked a shot despite multiple defensive breakdowns. Albeit Taj Gibson got the back back for an easy dunk because Jason Smith was standing there shell shocked and didn't box out his man

I thought Larkin and Shump did a good job guarding the perimeter with Dalembert protecting the paint. It was over once Taj Gibson entered the game and we countered with that atrocious defensive lineup. It didn't help that JR & THJ were breaking plays. It's great when their shots are falling

add up THjr, JR and Shumps shots and its impossible to win.

my signature should read "I agree with fish" dude were always on the same page. But it wasnt bad team defense, taj simply abused acy and smith one on one, mid rang jumpers, and post ups.

I never seen any team double team Taj gibson, he's a solid player, but double team..please
