I was impressed with his defense last game. To me he played really well position defense, and able to rotate quickly.  On top of that he got off his feet quickly for a couple nicely timed blocks.

I have no problem with him except for his stupid hair. Looks like a [dang] fool!

Seems to be a euro trend. Capela and Schroder also have some yellow highlights in their hairstyles, and came from european countries.

At least Giannis doesn't have it ...yet.

What's wrong with highlights lol

Noticed the same thing. He used to be lost out there - wasn’t last night.

I’d still like to see him lose 10-15 pounds. I don’t know if it’s muscle or fat, but physics being what it is it’s still harder for him to change directions than is optimal. He’d still be a load, just also quicker.

Well, you don't really want him losing 10-15 pounds of muscle. That's a lot of muscle and to lose that much muscle you usually will have to be stagnant which isn't good when you are an athlete.

Another night when Theis gets abused by legit bigs. Yabu playing more than 5 minutes wouldn't hurt, Brad.

He still have 3 more. He wasn't exactly as bad as Theis in his short spurt.

Yabusele struggled but at least he was able to keep position on Aldridge. Theis too weak to handle him.

Yabu gets an " A " for effort , he was trying to do " Something " to help his team in SA

Effort is appreciated even in a losing cause.
