Message: [QUOTE="Redux, post: 4859153, member: 11089"] What glass? Three/four key early foul calls by inept officials and our current defense is shot for the game (against the best teams). You look at the way we play defense now at certain TV camera angles and it's like our players are double images of their offensive opponents, gliding across the floor in tandem. Thing of beauty. But with the current team it's THAT, rather than the flawless communication and switching of past great teams. We do that very well, but not great. It's a defensive style more susceptible to getting screwed up by officials who don't really see the precision of what's going on. Without paint dominance (the bigs) we simply don't have the offense to make up for a miscalled game against the best teams. That's my fear for deep in the tournament. But finding the positive (against my nature) I'm going to be just that much more pleased when we win it all. [/QUOTE]
