So far - the defensive focus seems to be working

After the 3rd T-Pups game:

Offense at 104.4/100 (slight increase), still #15 in the league.
Defense at 96/100 (A little worse, the GSW game probably did it), still #2 in the league.
Pace 91 - 28th in the league.

 

Playing the Bulls, and making sure Roy is Roy is a good way to increase the offensive efficiency.

After last night's game, the offense went up to 106.5/100 - with a big jump to 6th best in the league.
The new line however shows that the defensive efficiency is slipping (Say what you want about Miller in the starting line - his biggest contribution seemed to have come on the defensive end of things). At 96.9/100 the Blazers are still #2 in the league - but the distance to the Celtics (#1) grew and the distance to the Lakers (#3) - shrank.
Pace is 90.8 - still #28 in the league.
