This is funny! But I don’t think it’s exactly right. I see Tim get in a stance and D up sometimes. And I have even fooled myself into thinking he’s turned a corner. It’s the lapses—mental lapses, it looks like—that do him in, isn’t it? Like he gets too distracted by one priority and forgets about another?
So yeah, I see his defensive blunders. And your point is well-taken. But it sure seems like he ought to be able to do better. He definitely has the size and athleticism to defend and to switch. At least that’s my take.
