Also it seems even wilder that Tech cant get on the court when you consider that Malik freaking Beasley is there and runner up in 6th man of the year betting odds.

With us Beasley looked like an offensive black hole who cant defend a lick and Tech was "do it all" guy who made the whole team function better.

I guess its about the fit and having a guy like Beasley who shoots with no conscience works better for their purposes.

Because Beasley is an elite shooter and Simone isn't

From what I hear (I haven't watched many Pistons games) Beasley has actually been trying to play defense this year.

Yeah I havent watched them much either. From what I remember he slept through his defensive rotations and had absolutely bottom class effort/ability in getting around screens etc... but maybe it wasnt as much lack of defensive IQ as it was lack of effort thing.

To clarify I'm going off a comment from Brice Simons on the Game Theory podcast who covers the Pistons and his specific statement was more along the lines of "he's not as bad as I thought he would be." I think I remember him also saying something along the lines of he's working hard on defense, but still not a good defender.
 
OKC series is making a case for Jokic for MVP.
Seems like SGA could have missed the first 2 games of this series and OKC wins by about a 30 point average for the 2 games.
If jokic misses their games then clippers are up 2-0 both with easy victories.
