If you think Nance was worse than JV on defense

No but you’re proving my point. Both are bad. But JV gives you a consistent offensive threat and much better rebounder. Do you think Nance gives you that? Who do you think AD would prefer to guard Nance or JV? And don’t gloat about his 13 points like they were impactful in any sense.

Our biggest problem today was the Lakers coaches completely exposed how we play pick and roll coverage and we never adjusted or were able to adjust (which is a huge win for Darvin Ham and a huge loss for Green).

To a degree yes. A lot of it was also related to our offense since our spacing was screwed up and we didn’t take or make as many 3s. To top it off we continued to play zone against a player who is smart enough to disect it to perfection (Lebron). Lebron won this game with his decisive passing/scoring on our zone defenses and our stagnated offense didn’t help.

this was because of adding Nance and BI back into the lineup is idiotic.

It all works hand in hand. Bad offense leads to bad defense. Zion/BI starting lineup is just bad offense- lakers made their runs on these lineups. Nance playing 31 minutes was asinine and he didn’t have block or provide any rim protection. He had one steal as his defensive contribution. Not to mention bad rebounding on several possessions. But according to you he had 13 points in 31 minutes so he played well lol
