[QUOTE="BackThatPassUp, post: 1430843, member: 746142"] I didn't want to be debbie downer but I did want to temper expectations on Giorgi but he has a loooooong way to go with understanding defensive spacing. He takes improper angles on help which makes for an easier dish to his man. He's got to understand blocking the passing lane and providing help simultaneously. This isn't to say the loss is his fault but to demonstrate we are so weak defensively in the front court. Also, Groce was onto something with the 50/50 balls. We seem to lose almost everyone of those and never finish potential and 1s. The good news is we don't have to listen to Bill Walton anymore. I think he's a terrible color guy who utilizes off topic color to compensate for his lack of research of both teams. [/QUOTE]
