@JonKrawczynski Jon, the KAT deal was all about saving money. Did Arod and Lore see what happened in the playoffs and say they had to make a couple big moves to win it all, no matter the financial costs?

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@PaulCharchian Charch, Naz played no defense in the playoffs and was a liability. I’m sure Finchy, Connelly, Ant all saw his defense in the playoffs. There’s also another move coming for a quality PF.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@KevinHe50829459 @PhilMackey There is another move coming for a PF. We have the mid-level exception left or will make another trade for a PF.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@WillRagatz Naz played absolutely no defense in the playoffs and was a liability out on the court. Really smart trade.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@ShamsCharania @madproducer1 There is another move for a Power Forward who plays defense. Beringer must be ready to play 15 to 20 minutes a game.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@Gaardsy Would we have 2 of the top 5 or 6 players in the league if we made the trade? The last 2 combos were LeBron and Wade and Shaq and Kobe. Both won championships. If you have 2 dominant players you can win a ship.

@Gaardsy They still called one of the worst fouls I have ever seen when SGA jumped to the side 2 feet into an airborne defender last night. Fix, allowing superstars to jump into defenders for fouls.

@JonKrawczynski Wemby’s health will always je the question mark. He’s missed 65 games in 3 years. If he’s out in the playoffs going forward, they are done.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@ChadHartmanShow Too bad Randle is not a number 2 or 3 guy on a playoff team. He struggled to get his shot off against taller and more athletic bigs and can’t handle the ball with heavy pressure.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@JonKrawczynski He’s the best defensive player in the league by a large margin. Top 3 to 5 offensive player. Top 2 rebounder in the league. If he puts on 20 to 30 lbs he will be unstoppable.

@RussoHockey The NHL really needs to fix the injury report. The NFL has rules for disclosing specific injuries. Lower body or upper body injury isn’t good enough. The NHL has gambling company sponsors. If you have a broken foot or torn ACL it should be disclosed. This needs to be fixed.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@tlschwerz They changed the rules when James Harden was doing this 10 years ago. Need to call an offensive foul when an offensive player jumps into the defender and a technical for flopping. That’s the only way to stop foul baiting and flopping.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL @nytimes They need to work on their defensive scheme and defensive play. Until, the team does that, it won’t matter who is in goal.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@DaneMooreNBA The goaltend is as tough to officiate as the charge in real time. Now, the Wolves have the refs thinking about it, though.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@SpursReporter Each round you advance, refs swallow their whistle more and the players play harder on defense as a whole. It’s a different game than the regular season and round 1.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@RussoHockey When you replace Ek and Brodin with Yurov and Hunt you are in big trouble defensively. There were so many other defensive breakdowns by other players, it was just a terrible defensive game.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@johnkriesel That might be the worst defensive effort I’ve ever seen in an NHL hockey game. I saw an 80’s game against Edmonton and Gretzky in the regular season and they destroyed us. Just about every player got beat multiple times.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@JonKrawczynski He’s not going to be 100% the rest of the playoffs and not many players are with an 82 game schedule. Let’s see how he plays and take it from there. He’s a competitor and knows his body.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@OfficialDomNBA Castle is not better than McDaniels. On defense or offense.

[Brian Matthew Perry @briperry29]

@JonKrawczynski The defensive intensity changed immensely and the way refs call fouls changes. All around the league, teams are scoring less in the playoffs than in the regular season. We saw in this series that good defense beats good offense more often than not.
