You have a point. I also thought THJ gave up too much space down low. Not much you can do against the Siakam fadeaway but he still didn't do his work early.
Earlier FVV blew by him 2 times that lead to a layup and foul. He doubled off of Boucher that also gave up good post position that Siakam thankfully didn't see.
Lots of small mistakes that add up. I could be a little harsh but there is a noted difference in the overall defense when THJ is out there versus Bullock/Green and even S. Brown.
