I have a problem with everybody asking
to concentrate on defense.
Increasing our defense, is not 100% on the coach....And
has obviously been preaching defense, but without defensive players, teaching can only go so far.
For example: I've been a defensive player my entire career. I've played with other defensive players before, and also you see them on TV in college or NBA.
It's called DEFENSIVE INSTINCTS (ex is Dennis Rodman)...This has nothing to do with the coach. Some have it, and some don't.
The plus side to having an offensive coach like
, is that no matter what, the players will buy into his system. Now look at MIA's coach. When things go south on offense, the players will scramble and use their own system, which is part of the reason why we won yesterday, against the HEAT.
Walsh needs to add more players with DEFENSIVE INSTINCTS (ala Jeffries)....The more players we have like this, the better
will look. Also, the difference between an average player, and a superstar, are their instincts on both sides of the court (ala Billups).
Now,
has his flaws, like player rotation, lineup changes, and managing the game, especially in crunch time....But when you have a team with high IQ on both ends of the floor, this will help increase over chemistry and defensive instincts.
is the perfect coach to have, when you have a team full of high IQ players (STATS, MELO, BBBBBILLUPS)
