Bam was awesome defensively, but he also just nullified what Porzingis can bring on defense. Porzingis struggled hard defending Bam.
I’ve said this a couple of times, but it seemed like a good thing that Porzingis fouled out and Al was forced to close the game.
I seen someone mention on twitter that Brown/Tatum could defend Bam, but the problem with that Tatum is one of the best Butler defenders in the league. I much rather let Bam/Herro kill us then to get Butler going.
Idk who said that but it’s definitely not true lol. At least in Brown’s case. I don’t remember seeing Tatum defend Bam much in their matchups.
