I'd like to see us press more in certain situations (including during 1st half against Cinci) but for the most part our defense is so good why press and potentially give teams easy baskets (or lots of fouls against us) in transition when a team has to really fight to score. I view it as more of a change of pace way to speed up the game and give a team a different look if they are really taking their time and still picking apart our D and/or shooting lights out ie. Cinci in 1st half. Our press isn't really that good over a long period of time because it's very frantic and has lots of guys trapping in the backcourt and opens us up significantly to fast breaks the other way. I do agree that we need to utilize it more often in games like 1st half vs Cinci when we couldn't get a stop and they were completely dictating the game, but I don't think it's something we should open up with unless a team is picking us apart. We don't want to give a team that is struggling to score any confidence after hitting a couple layups in transition.
