Dame was taken out of the game with foul trouble and Mo was out, but we still hang 117 on the Wolves. We hung 113 on the Pacers' league leading defense. We are fucking awesome at scoring. All we need is an average defense and we can win it all.
I personally think based on the moves this management team made this offseason, they made them based off numbers and I think they realize this and I believe they will start to address the defensive issue before the deadline.
I still think when it's time to play and it means something they are better than what average is. If you need proof just look at how they performed in almost every big game this year. It's a focus and interest thing IMO. I do believe in an on and off switch. This team uses theirs all the time.
Some of these back-to-backs have been brutal on the defensive end. Batum being lit up for nearly 80 pts by Durant and Parsons. Lillard being lit up for 62 pts by Rubio and George Hill. We are so not good at defense.
Hire an actual defensive coach and make it a 1a 1b situation. One teaches offense one teaches Defense?
Bring in the bulls head coach as a defensive coach and give him full control on that end of the floor. Let stotts control offense. Let's get this done.
I just hope this team doesn't go the Phoenix Suns route, and just continue to think offense wins and never improve the defense.
That Phoenix Suns under Nash team reached the WCF three times. I wouldn't mind getting to the WCF. If Joe Johnson didn't get hurt during 2005 WCF, SuNs might've reached the Finals.
I would say like George Karl and himself. But George still wants to coach and I think he has a position at the end of the season (if not now) if he wants it.
Let's figure out our scoring. Graphs were invented for us to stare and say, what the hell? http://stats.nba.com/playerProfile.html?PlayerID=200746
