    Maybe Tony-Allen should work on his "Don't-guard-me-offensive-skills"

    Well, since Tony Allen is going to be 35 years old next season; my guess is never.

    One of the effects of removing the illegal defense rule is that teams can't hide the offensive deficiency of those "defensive specialists."

    In the past, those bad offensive players could just stand outside of the play to pull a defender out for nothing. Teams with bad offensive players were allowed to play 4 on 4 on offense. Now you have to be at least able to hit open shots or else the defense just ignore you and play 5 on 4. That's why the "3" in "3&D" is so important.
