I'm trying not to get too excited too early, but what has me tuning in, despite the loss of Fox and Bags, is the defense.
I've been pining away for a team that actually defends since Gerbil axed my dude Malone. I thought Joerger could have been that guy, but he wasn't it.
Luke might be.
Obviously, Vlade gets props for bringing in some guys that actually put in work on that end, but even Buddy and Bogi have had awesome little stretches on D. The team is buying in.
And looking forward, if Luke really is a legit defence first coach he's gonna be awesome for Fox (who's flashed lock down potential on that end, but still gets lit up from time to time) and Bagley, a player that needs a lot of work but could cause havoc if he ever gets it.
Like I said, I'm TRYING not to get too excited. We'll see how it goes against the Lakers.
*edit: Whoops, totally posted this in the wrong thread! Ah, anyways!...Bogi and Bjeli beasted! I love how those guys can both shoot and fill up the stat sheet when they're playing their A-games! I hope they can keep this up!
