He plays with a lot of energy. Always hustling. Always going all out. Thunder have five guys that are doing the same all time time. Mavs starters on the other hand are coasting.
And we have to talk about the perimeter defense of the starters. They are slow. Too slow for the modern NBA. Starting five needs a guy that can defend quick guards.
For as good as Josh was in the 2nd half, he was equally as bad in the first. There is a reason Hardy got 4 minutes. Thunder are also younger and deeper. Their 11th man had 7 points in the 4th quarter. We basically played 9 guys.
