Our defense in the first half

[mark79]

reminded me of our great defense a couple of years ago. I really like to see our guards extremely aggressive up front pushing and trapping the other teams guards out of their comfort zone. When you cut off the head (I.e the other teams guards) typically the whole thing goes down...

Like a couple of years ago, we are starting to play our zone with the "swarm factor". We are so long out there it has got to be very disconcerting.

All four guards are playing really aggressive defense. It's fun to watch, and it continues to amaze me that 2011 Dion is the same person we watched last season. As he gets more game experience, he's going to improve further (which is great, since he's already our best on-ball defender).
