    This is the defense I’ve dreamt about. Chauncey coaching it up.

    Easy to coach when you know the players have a ton of respect for you.

    Is the defense so much better because Dame and Ant are out?
    And please don't let Nurk dribble.

    Chauncey has to win coach of the month for October...not sure when that gets announced but he's competing with 3rd stringers against one of the best teams in the league

    No its Chauncey ball but also credit to Cronin for assembling a switchable squad that’s mentally locked in.

    I don't think so, the defense has clicked with those guys in but I do think that the length of the guys on the floor, without giving up any speed definitely lends itself to a more smothering style. The fact is, what this group is doing on both ends is keeping this score really low.
