Re: Will JOB's Strategy Backfire Against The Wizards?

I don't care if it was Ray Allen or Ba Ba Booey,
he was still lit up for 32. He's a good player, but no Richard
Jefferson in terms of defense. Neither is Pierce or Walker either, which
doesn't
speak well of constructing a team around players who are defensuively average
or
below.
