Hayes has absolutely pressed the mute button on Aldridge though and JT is being JT. Unless we're going to a 3 big front, there's no space for him on the floor right now
Not saying I agree with it, but Smart seems to be going Defense-Defense with the bigs to close it out with JT and Chuck. And it's working, With both guys coming up with big defensive plays.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. If we could somehow convince him that it's the last 2 minutes of the game for all 48 minutes, we may have a stud on our hands.
