Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 4604462, member: 563"] Both from the eye test. They have serious issues staying focused on defense when defending off ball movement. They ball watch looking to jump passing lanes for steals. On ball, they don't fight hard enough to go through screens and Omier plays not to foul quite often (he may go for a block here and there as a weakside defender, but he plays defense like Timme when challenged). Again just from the 6 games I have watched of theirs. They are supremely confident the other team can't stop them and they will be able to keep it close long enough to win in the end. You can expect two things though. 1) They should be more focused now and 2) they will play the passing lanes for steals. They haven't really pressed the ball hard like they did last year, but who knows if they change anything up. [/QUOTE]
