Yea I was watching Ross closely in the 2nd half. Gunn was starting to be a problem in the 1st half and looked like he could go off, but Ross did a real nice job shadowing & neutralizing him in the 2nd half.

You can tell why Hurley loves Ross because he's busting his arse to get better, and is definitely getting better on defense in-game. He's doing fewer high-risk gamble plays and biting for less up-fakes.

The 2nd one he fell for (late in the game), he was fuming at himself. Right after it happened, after Hass got in his face, when he got to Hurley & heard it from him, after Kimani spoke to him too. Not sure if it showed up on the broadcast, but he emphatically punched his seat before he sat down...hard enough that I thought "he better not have just broken his hand with that"

The offense is gonna be tough to get dramatically better because other than fast-break runouts, he's a 3rd/4th/5th option in most sets and isn't going to get the best looks. Nearly all of his last 4-5 3pt shots have looked really good, some of them should have fallen.

His one drive to the hoop he likely got fouled but it wasn't called.
