Exhibit 03Negative.LAC flair
No the fuck they don't. The defence was absolutely dog shit all year and the moment the supposed all defensive center went out injured, their defence looks good. Make it make sense. Zubac regressed massively this year defensively, he is slow and clumsy and can't contest shit, gets cooked in the pnr and his rim protection isn't even that good. Lopez has literally stepped in and been a better rim protector all while spacing the floor and allowing kawhi and James to feast.
