We are good enough in every phase of the game except one unknown

No.

 

Skrrt Skrrt

 

OP has a point. We're improved defensively mainly because we're one of the League's best at forcing turnovers, taking care of the ball, not fouling & rebounding the ball but we don't really shut players down.

We're 10th worst in the League in FG% allowed.

 

Says the guy with Cousins as his profile pic. It ain't happening dude, move on!

 

The Warriors and Cavs have been well known to use their elite rim protecting centers to anchor their defense in recent years.

Clearly teams can't win without one.

 

Tucker and Harden also do a lot to be effective down low but more in the thicc sense. Hopefully Wright and Nene are both healthy and ready to make an impact as needed in the playoffs.

I predict that Clint has a nice showing in the playoffs overall.

 

Anderson is an underrated post defender, when he is fit and motivated. We should be okay there. Capela struggles with the bigger and stronger players more on offense, than on defense.

 

This Troll still makes threads ? “ it was discussed” “ but morey is holding for a better deal”

This is just a repeat thread with different headline. Nice try _holic. I aiin't falling for it

If we sold out on every shot, we wouldn't be as good of a defensive rebounding team as we are currently.

one lightly contested shot > one heavily contested shot followed by an open shot.

If you have an offense built around PPP, you want the number of possessions to be at least similar, it doesn't matter if your opponent shoots nothing but highly contested fadeaway on-the-line 2 pointers if they get the offensive rebound putback every time

 

Didn’t see this coming at all after seeing the thread title and OP.

Color me shocked..!

Shocked I tell ya!!!

 

I think we're set defensively in the paint.

Insert Zhou and we're good to swat anything anyone, especially Durant, throws at us.

 

Durant? Aldridge? Lyles? Gibson? Mirotic?

I highly doubt it. They are all way too athletic for him. He has no advantage on them and can't match them in anything.

Exactly. Draymond/KD/Bogut.

LeBron/Mozgov(when he was good)/Thompson(When he was good).

Rockets have Nene, who is solid. And then they have Capela. They lack the rim protection from the wings that other elite defenses can conjure up.

 

"Unless something better comes along". I get it. Trying to pretend like we know what's going on when we don't makes it important to hedge our bets. That way if we don't get Lebron or Cousins we can say "Don't blame me, I said we would get them...unless something better comes along". By the way, what better could come along than Lebron?

For what it's worth, I doubt we get Lebron or Cousins. And I doubt Melo doesn't pick up his player option.
But what do I know? I don't pretend to be an insider.

 

Must trade for Wicky Wubio to shore up our paint defense. Get it dun Moreknee

 

Bad post, keep it moving (in my David Jacoby voice)
