Can you guess which duo is the worst defensive duo at this point in the season? Yep, Mills and Forbes. They're giving up 140.0 (!) points per 100 possessions. One hundred and forty
This is one area where Pop definitely is to blame. The eye test told us last year Mills and Forbes can't play together defensively. Advanced stats showed that duo got destroyed on defense last year. Not playing Mills and Forbes together should have one of the few items written in ink in the gameplan coming into this season.
But, here we are, three games in and Mills and Forbes has been the backcourt pairing more than 20 percent of the time -- and almost exclusively down the stretch in the two close games.
Smh.
