Interesting insight on the new defensive approach that Portland will employ this year: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/63392/setting-expectations-for-the-trail-blazers
Well I hope the changes work cause I won't be able to stomach the terrible defense of last season. I mean even winning; it was hard to watch!
So true. And it looks like the new defensive strategy is already paying off, based on the results of last night's game.
I am seeing a difference on this end of the floor. I don't know if it is technique or if it's personal. Having the right personal make a difference. There are a couple of guys they picked up cover up a lot of space in a very short time on that end of the floor.
