Didn't get to see it, but I believe it. He is one heck of a defender. Thibs has turned him into a real beast on the defensive end.

Butler is unreal.

Anyway, it leads to an interesting subtopic, versatility vs. excellence. Who's a better perimeter defender, someone who can do a great job vs. multiple positions, or someone who can do an even better job but vs. fewer positions? Is Iguodala a better perimeter defender than Gary Payton just because Iguodala can guard more positions? If not, then I think even someone like Avery Bradley is in consideration. No one is a bigger pain in the ass to a PG/SG ball handler than Avery Bradley.
In general, I see fans promoting a new "best defender" like every month. Which probably tells that there's no clearcut best. A couple months ago I might've said that Paul George has a slight advantage at that title, but now he's been average defensively for a long while. I've no idea who I'd list as the best one now. I'd probably list like 5-8 names and then my list would also be different depending if it's a regular season game, where some of these guys just take games off, or playoffs.

Well Chicago is for real. That team man. They are definitely playing like the 3rd best team in the East. I would actually be a little shocked if they don't end up with that spot. ESPECIALLY since we've lost Patterson for a little while now.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.
