I think we have enough weapons that, while their D can slow us down, it won’t be able to really stymie us on that end. So we just need to defend well enough against their basic action to make them work for it. I don’t think they have the shooters to keep up if we can keep them from getting the easy looks they want from the pick and roll drives.

A little more than 14 hours until tip time. Let’s get this one. This team is too fun to stop watching.
