    Alpi manages to actually be really good at jump balls despite not being that tall or athletic for a center because he cheats and gets away with it every time lol. Off arm gets it done

    Sometimes he gets hot, its worth a try, but yeah if he's missing his shots I'd rather go with anyone else.

    Is it just League Pass or are the crowd and effects microphones sounding muffled?

    The problem so far is absolutely the defense.
