Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 5248185, member: 626"] No matter the sport, I just find it very difficult to watch a team that's defensively challenged. Given a choice between a good offense vs a good defense, I identify w/ the defense all the time. Even JB's brick-laying squads still won 20 games, and made Sweet 16's. They weren't always pleasant to watch, but an ugly win is always better than some pretty loss...and we've had plenty of those lately. I prefer not to "outscore" teams 95-94...in 2OTs, or fight back into a game and lose because we can't get a key stop, or make a free throw. That gets old, very quickly- and unfortunately has become the norm starting w/ the turnstile defenses of "Daddy Ball". I'll always support the Orange and wear my colors on game day, I'm just not as obsessed as I used to be. [/QUOTE]
