I hate games like these, because it gives people the incentive to bang the drum that we need more big bodies in the paint. We don't. We need better perimeter defenders. Some of the ones we have are overrated. KP is a problem, but not because of his interior defense, because of his inability to switch out or defend PnR very well. Zion's game was an anomaly, we still won comfortably, it's not even remotely a reason to go trade for a player.
It's weird because no one bangs a drum when all sorts of elite perimeter shooters go off on us that we need an elite wing defender, it's only the rare time when someone has an elite scoring game in the paint against us that we apparently must acquire a high level paint defender at all costs.
