Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2087115, member: 489"] 2 guys in the front court who don't play good on man D, don't hedge and get back and really at times are lost. 4 years later for 2 of them and the kids coming in (Steve and Juwan are young and do the same stuff) they just aren't in position. You guys talk about blocked shots and impact, he's had more people score in his face the last 2-3 games than shots he's blocked. AB got caught under the basket twice in situations in which he should have been moving towards to scorer to block his shot and instead is under the play with no chance instead swinging an missing. This is not a very smart core of defenders it is so obvious. You can teach until you're blue in the face if guys don't get it your defense will suck. Add to it Adams who isn't a chair even right now, Vance who isn't quick enough to guard people yet and make mistakes, I'm not at all sure what you are expecting? Have to have the players and the only 2 decent on man defenders are Rodney and Vital. And even Vital takes too many chances on D instead of staying put. [/QUOTE]
