    I know in the NFL, teams have specific defensive coordinators as coaches, do the Blazers have any coach on their roster that is acting as the defensive coach for the team? Are there any coaches out there that are known for just their defense that are available?

    After watching how every team played Lillard and when we would set a pick, they would always double him to make him give up the ball, it was frustrating to see the Blazers switch immediately after a half hearted pick leaving Ed Davis or Plumlee on Curry. I know the GSW were the best team in history with wins and all, but all year long portland has been playing some terrible schemed defense. And we were horrible with rotation help defense all year long, I would have expected somebody like Aminu to rack up more weak side blocks but didn't seem to see too much of that this year.
