This team has gotten where it has gotten by playing tough defense. Lots of slapping the ball away, disrupting passing lanes and angles, up tight on shooters, altered and blocked inside shots, with many fast break turnover points the result.
 
Everybody knows that with a few exceptions our half court game has been the weakest part of our offense. Waiters gets hot..Triche gets hot...KJ gets hot...even Scoop has his moments, but half court inconsistency didn't just happen last night.
 
We can hope that Waiters can do his magic most nights against some of the better teams in the country, and Triche, KJ, and Scoop will become consistent scorers, but without the girl that brung us here, tough zone D, we probably aren't going to be dancing very long.
 
We need Fab to allow the rest of the team to play the aggressive defense that made us the team that most of us thought could go far.
 
We're still a good team and last night shouldn't be a measure of how good we are, but without that intimidation in the middle our defense potentially takes a big step down...and it also has a negative effect on turnovers and our fast break points...which has been an important part of our offense. Last night we got some turnovers but failed to convert at our usual rate.
 
But ya the offense stunk.
