This guy’s defense is what we desperately needed from a guard



I would’ve never thought he’d be this defensively good after being out for as long as he was. Vanderbilt energy

    I’m just happy Cam didn’t play. Didn’t know Gabe was this good defensively though, great to see. Think he needs to play with bigger line-ups so he can hound the pg and there’s length around him to cover. Vanderbilt coming back will be huge if he’s himself and they get in the playoffs.

    Just seeing a laker guard getting around and under screens easily and staying attached to their man is a refreshing sight.

    I’ll take what we can get at this point

    He’s played 8 minutes this game…calm down

  5. raiden_kazuha

    But that wasnt the reason they sign him tho

    Hes beating the kendrick nunn allegations
    Edit: uhhhh
    Edit again: nvm to the edit

    Even if he isnt shooting well, his defense has always been reliable

  8. ValuableAssociate8

    And he creates offense.. that little lob to AD was the easiest bucket for him all night

  9. discussionandrespect

    His defense was actually horrible today

    Him actually boxing out in help situations is sorely lacking. We haven’t seen that all year

  11. I’m glad he is back and got some run. But what I saw, he was getting cooked… He’ll be better for it tho.

    EDIT: I only started watching in the 3rd quarter and Cam Thomas got everything against Gabe.

  12. def loves his def energy
    Cam (Nets) usually kill us worst Gabe did good job

    Someone give me the run down.

    Was he good on ball? Or more team defense/energy? Both?

    We needed what he brings so badly. It is so shitty he was out for as long as he was.

    But everyone here was writing him off after a handful of games 😂

    As a Heat fan, happy to see Gabe back playing, and being appreciated. He was a lot of fun to root for, especially during the nutso playoffs run last year. The guy always gives it his all and has balls of steel.

    We need both he and vando chasing Klay and Steph soon

    What I really liked about his defensive impact was COMMUNICATION. He was going over and under screens, switching when needed and communicated everything with the others, which led to much smoother team defense.

    I instantly noticed that once he came into the game. But he won’t be playable in any plaoff scenerio if he doesn’t find some of his offense in the next few weeks.

    But glad to see him back and healthy.
