I won't side with either. Marbs just wants the chains off, he is not a good defender, never has been. There are lots of non-defenders in the NBA. Marbs is not suggesting they don't play defense, he's suggesting that LB allows them to breathe, not make them afraid to make a mistake or wonder if they will even get off the bench this game, the next game or for the rest of the game that they are currently playing. As I've said before, averaging 20 and 8 isn't selfish. If you average 8 assists, that usually means you've attempted to get more but the guys missed layups, jumpshots and dunks.
I don't think its an indictment of Marbs defense, but Marbs statement of taking it personal.
The team until it plays defense is not going to breath, or be released from the shackles of the internment of racial or cultural repression so inflicted by former dutch colonialization of western Africa and the British involvment of that region instead concentrating on trades routes thru India despite the ottoman empire and the roots of Karl Marx's teachings in its infancy at the base of Englands industrial revolution. Had Napoleon succeeded in his expansion eastward I doubt the Mulim movement in the balkens would have been as epressive and perhaps the archduke takes a different route and thus postponing the outbreak of war at the centurys turn.
And thats what broke baby birds balloon............
