    As a team that constantly practices against a Offense that only takes 3's or

    shots in the paint, over time, could players then develop defensive liabilities

    against teams that use a heavy midrange game? OKC, DALLAS , MIAMI,

    MEMPHIS, CLIPPERS, SPURS. Example : Our guards always seem to sag into

    the paint, often leaving the corner 3 or a midrange jumper open or poor

    rotations to such shots.

    I think it's a legitimate question. It's up to a coaching staff who can find that balance, and run drills that simulate the real deal.

    good thought, but do you really think an NBA team would be so ill-prepared?
