I actually figured out where this comes from. Full disclosure: if you hooked me up to a lie detector I’d say I am one of the mopes that has said/thought this.

Little background: I grew up a cuse fan with season tickets at the dome for my entire youth. Never had any exposure to the NBA. Then when I moved to Houston I went to an NBA game for the first time. The atmosphere was a shock to my system having only experienced the Carrier Dome for my whole life. Many times I didn’t even realize the game had resumed because music was playing, lights are sweeping the court, fake flash bulbs are going off all over the place, and the crowd was only marginally paying attention.

So from that one experience I got a bad taste about the NBA... just turned me off completely.

So... my only current NBA exposure is highlights. And in a lot of highlights, the defense has conceded the point because the offensive player has superior position, they don’t want to be in a poster, etc. and so that is a long way of saying I think the no defense thing comes from people who only see highlights.
