We arent losing the games because we have bad D at center - especially not against okc with their center play being pretty unimpressive - as a matter of fact we are one of the best teams at making the other team take jump shots by giving them some space (a because our defenders are older and slower and would get beat to the basket a lot and b to protect the paint)
anywho....

We win both of those games with chandler out there. There is a reason that everyone is afraid of playing tight on Westbrook and there is a reason that harden is going to the lane like there is no shot blocker in there.
We played dirk at center for the last 5 minutes or so. We've seen this movie before.
Center play is a LOT more than covering Perkins. Our pnr on westbrook is atrocious whenever we close out on three point shooters they get all of the way to the basket. Our zone sorta sucks right now. Our starting center can't stay on the floor because he can't keep up with ibaka or Perkins.
Our center play is stinky. And a rotten core makes everything else stinky as well.
