    I will never understand how the defence has just fallen off a cliff since Jabari got hurt, particularly when Thompson is a better defender.

    Was Jabari somehow like a Bizarro Battier - the no stats guy that was holding it all together?

    Yep, the offense is more balanced and we actually play better defense when we have two bigs on the floor.

    Jabari does little coming off the bench, he's not instant offense and his strength is rotating on defense.

    Tari is a spark, him coming off the bench was like a surge of energy and chaos. I think we've missed that.

    Tari and Bari play the same mins anyway but that starting lineup we've been going with has been garbage.

    I distinctively remember a time that all stars were impactful and weren’t given just because of a team record. Nothing about Sengun screams all star or top 24 player.

    I've never seen a player as big and athletic as Tari struggle as much finishing around the rim

    But hey, at least he's hitting his 3s

    Sengun was a “somebody on the 2 seed gotta make it” All-Star…he wasn’t playing at a star level
