It's impossible to argue with guys who clearly haven't watched the games. RIght now, they are refusing to accept that players aren't motivated at all to play hard for the Pels. If they watch the Rockets, they will quickly realize that is the only explanation.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

Ryan Anderson tried his arse off, he just cannot defend. Anything else is complete bullshite.

Eric Gordon tried as well and was good on D in spurts, but he's way to small to switch and his athleticism was robbed due to injury. If he's gotten his athleticism back and you're running a system where he's just never switched on anyone I could see him being somewhat adequate.
