Would you like to talk about it?

[Enrile, Roy]

When it comes to team defensive effort, I think the addition of KG &
assistant coach Thibodea are already showing a few results.  Paul was
recovering on rotations and SPRINTING out to weakside shooters like he
hasn't done in years.  Perk was getting his usual 1 on 1
shotblocks/alterations against taller post players.  The guys were
hustling, even though they don't have all the defensive rotations
mastered.

But even with the extra effort, Eddie House looks like a below average
defender.   Excellent quick defenders like Calderon/Rondo were getting
down low in their stance and harassing people.  House stands almost
straight up, and challenges the shooter pretty late.  On O, he showed
good vet confidence with the quick-release catch & shoot, and a little
swagger/trash talk.  I like him better than Bassy at backup.

he was great on offense. but was eaten alive by calderon and ford on the
other side tho.  but i like this signing a lot too.  as i've said, he's
a
microwave type scorer.
