On a morning episode of The Pindown, Blake and Wes dive into the past two weeks over some caffeinated morning beverages. They discuss what has been so impressive about the pairing of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and why the strides both have made defensively say more about JB Bickerstaff than either player. They also break down Jalen Duren’s defense, contrasted with what we’ve seen from Isaiah Stewart on that end. At the end of it all, the guys take a positive outlook on the season: why these games have been valuable tape, what we’re learning and why that horrible Knicks game was just a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day rather than a trend.
