Haven't been able to say that about anybody on this team in a long time!

Jimmy just transforms our defense. Or is it just being able to play at home.

Okogie is all energy, flying around all over the place! He's kind of like a young running back who hasn't yet learned to wait for his blocks to set up and runs right into his own O-line! Given his offensive issues he's like our new Corey Brewer, another guy who was loved more than his game warranted!

Strong like, not quite love! He's another guy where it was a lot easier to overlook his deficiencies before his latest contract was signed.

Yeah, Okogie still has that brand new toy sheen to him. Also, anyone that hustles is going to get the benefit of the doubt. But yeah...he will need to learn how to knock down wide open shots or the defense will just completely ignore him.

That sequence with Gorgui guarding Sabonis in the paint....it encapsulates everything wrong with Dieng and his weak-ass paint defense. It was just way too damn easy for Sabonis to bully him in there.

Yep, was thinking the exact same thing. Addition by subtraction tonight, if you know what I mean.

I think it helps that the pacers aren't really a pace and space team.

But our defense looks good.
