I seriously cannot understand where this Korver is a bad defender meme is coming from. I don't have fancy stats but I have watched every minute Korver has played since being here and he often looks like one of our better defenders on the court. Certainly not someone who needs hidden at all
You want to know why our second unit is a disaster? We have Frye playing the 5 and he's been cold lately. He absolutely bleeds points out on defense so when he's not hitting shots opponents can run up the score in a hurry picking on him
Channing is not a 5. Him playing 5 has to be close to defensive treason
Totally agree on this based on the three recent Cavs games I saw on national tv (Blazers, Warriors, and Spurs). In all three of those games, Korver competed hard and contested shots (though he made some unnecessary fouls). But the Cavs defense in those stretches was sunk because of a total lack of rim protection. I also don't know why the Cavs have suddenly started hedging hard like they are the 2011-2014 Miami Heat.
