bad defense force grabbing great hands helps high job percentage rebounds shooting shots teams
He has great hands and I think his defense helps him in the sense that they force a lot of bad shots and he's there to gobble them all up. Teams aren't shooting a high percentage so there's a lot more rebounds to be had and he's doing a great job of grabbing them.
league loaded six teams
I'll tell you what. If there are six teams better than them, that's a loaded league because they're good.
couple score shooter surprised ton
I'm surprised he doesn't get more recognition nationwide. He's a much better 3-point shooter than he was a couple of years ago. He can score a ton of different ways.
earlier focused playing
They're healthy, they're focused and they're back playing the way they were playing earlier in the season.
chance defending figured good hard score time winning
If you would have told me we were going to score 75 points, I figured we would have had a pretty good chance of winning the game. We had a hard time defending them, literally, every possession.
