The defense seems to be designed to force the team into bad shots. It sucks when it works for 33 seconds and a kid gets an off balance 3 to bank in off the top of the backboard, but that's basketball. It happens regardless of the defense. We've had plenty of those shots over the years against teams playing man.

There are flaws to every defense. Personally, I enjoy watching the active zone that traps creates steals when teams take the ball to the lane. When the team is playing great defense (not when the "zone is working" because that's just silly because no one ever says that "man isn't working") it is incredibly fun to watch. When the team plays crappy defense the other team scores. And sometimes, the team can be playing good defense and the offense will find a way to score.

And it can't be a straw man to say that there are people here who think the team should win every game by 30 because those same people complain when we don't win by 30. I suppose you'd be happier if we lost playing a defense that you enjoyed watching.
