    Are the Rocks going to be able to create a vicious enough defense that will consistently come to play every game???

    I think Rudy is right on with his preaching of DEFENSE being the only way this team is ever going to get back to being a power. Scoring - although I questions many of our offensive sets - is usually not going to be a problem. We have scorers. Better yet, we have athletes. Athletes who we have seen can play some nasty stretches of defense when they really focus. This has to be THE #1 goal game in and game out to stop the other teams

    And Los said it very accurately about tonight's game against the Kings - defensively we need to take away their wheels and make them beat us in the half court. Go Rocks!

    Actually, we'd like to force them to beat us full-court, too, all the while forcing them to guard against half-court sets... But that is probably too much to ask.

    But the main point is correct: Defense wins games - what a mindfu*k! And yes, Rudy knows how to fu*k a player's mind...

    For the better.

    It'll be good to see Los getting some PT, though. He deserves it.
