[QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 5561772, member: 210"]
my 2c... the defensive numbers are a bit of a mirage. They are mostly due to attributes that won't translate against the entree portion of the schedule - effort and being better athletes ensured that most of the time the primary defender could stay in front of and lock up his man and when they were defending PnR the help guy could hedge and still recover to stop the roll guy.

Effort and athleticism is great, but it won't help stop a team with good schemes and equal athleticism because the primary defender won't be able to stop his guy more often than not. I still don't believe in the help D strategy that we have seen and I think that will get exposed. I also think that rebounding will be a bit of an issue as our guys get stretched by a good offensive scheme.

On the other hand... the offense should get better because George won't play this poorly (right!?) and them should shoot to their historical averages and I suspect that we will feature the Donnie + George PnR whenever we need bucket. Also we will see a lot less of Fenell and more JJ.
