The defense has been going downhill the past month and isn’t even top 10 in defensive rating. If we’re going to turn it around, it’s going to be when this team remembers it’s identity and plays defense like it has to. You're applying the correct logic but the issue is our defense flat isn't good enough to offset our straight up abysmal offense. The days of building a team around defense left the NBA probably 8 years ago. It just doesn't work in a league that doesn't allow defense to be played, not even mentioning we don't do it well, especially when you factor in our just horrible pick and roll defense and inability to rebound. Its a complete loss at this point, especially considering how heavily we're relying on the likes of DJ for *****ing 20 ft runners and hook shots just to score a goddamn basket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe our defense has been bad because of how awful our offense has been. Not making shots certainly hinders our ability to get set and run our proper defense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Vogel 191 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 Some of that 57 points is them being constantly in transition because we suck on offense 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrueMagicFan07 661 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 Fultz is lost on defense. Twice the opponent has blown around him and dished for a score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicblue 315 Report post Posted December 21, 2019 Maybe not leaving CJ and Lillard wide open for threes should be part of our scheme? You know, the guys that lead them in scoring and are all star and stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
