i think he's just wrongly convinced that this team should be able to do better than last yr. this should explain it all.
Josh Smith CHOSE himself not to sign here, he turned down more money in Houston to go play for the Clippers. Probably because he saw Dmo and Tjones as PFs the club wants to develop and would see his playing time dive. DD
JB's defense was better than TT's defense last year. And that's on a team that doesn't over-emphasize defense at the expense of offense like TT's teams always do. That's also with Howard, who people tell me is an elite rim protector, missing a ton of games. The TT infatuation around here is beyond stupid.
