re: Did anyone ask Willie why he wouldn’t play Jonas after the game?

I keep hearing they are worried about defense in the pick and roll.

How in gods name could the defense be worse than with Nance in the game? The lakers may have set a record for dunks last night.

Yep, that's what I don't get.

Who is watching these games and thinking Nance is wrecking shite on defense?

Is he some degree better than Val on D, sure. Does that degree override the massive difference Val provides on offense and rebounding? Certainly not.


Nance at his best can be argued to get the minutes he's been getting since the break. This version of Nance, there is no logical argument for him to be getting 30+ minutes and Val playing 3 minutes in pivotal games. It just doesn't make sense.
