The failure to even try to get that defensive rebound was pathetic.
Last year at this time, and now again this year at this time, Monty Williams has his pretty bad team playing pretty damn hard. They are going to get better if they can stay healthy.
It feels like this team is littered with "effort" issues that are always just written off as tanking.
Irving and Thompson are the only guys who have played most of the game with effort. That includes the vets everyone loves. Livingston was dogging it. Speights was. Gee, for most of the game, and especially in the second half, was barely trying. Fucking Zeller is almost glued to a spot in the floor on defense. Thompson just spent the last two plays covering his ass while Zeller still manages to give up offensive rebounds to his man.
I really hope Kyrie was dogging it on defense all game otherwise he's in the discussion for worst defensive pg in the league.
As long as Steve Nash is in the league, Kyrie is not the worst defensive point guard.
