Wow. No Okogie and we're holding them to under 50. Is this team inspired now?

I think it is fair to say we have added a better defender than butler.

Are wiggs and kat starting to get defense or is covington that good.

Its also crazy to me that some people think that lavine is better than covington.

Something about covington just works. Such an easy guy to cheer for and a hell of a defender. Really sad to not see okogie getting any minutes. We need to get him in there.

Covington being a great defender at the 3 fits this team better than Butler being a great defender at the 2, because now Wiggins can play the 2. Size matters, I guess...

I think Covington is that good. He raises the level of the whole team defense from what I can tell. He's is an elite 3&D wing and that is exactly what this team needed back in a trade.

Yes. Wiggins has always been built like a tall 2 and his biggest asset is his speed.

I actually thought KAT made some horrible decisions a couple of times and Nurkic burned him. But I thought Teague (of all people) and Covington played a great half of defense.

The Wig block was sick.

After close to 20 pt 1q lead, the 6ers are now losing in the 4th.
