Is blocked shot emphasized I would guess not since our leader has 40 for the year. Is rebounding a concern well Lee out rebounds Gallinari and Chandler combined so my guess is no. We switch every screen and roll so we have kobe on Lee or Gallinari guarding Shaq. Some teams actually practice fighting over the screens and keeping a man in front of him. MDA is a offensive coach and that is what your going to get. For the last thirty games you have Harrington, Lee and Chandler as your frontcourt do you really think we wont get outrebounded every game the rest of the year.

If you are looking for this guy to bring you to a championship level you can forget it. This is the eastern conference, we play a different brand of Basketball the requires defense 1st. Danphoney is his name entertainment (rec -ball) is his game.

Historically he always had decent defensive teams and that was with guys known not to be good defenders. I fully expect this team to be much better defensively in the future. Also give DW a chance to get a C who can defend and play at the pace MDA wants. Just one question I'd ask is how do you stay at the top of the league in point differential without play some D? It's impossible you know! Well that's what MDA's teams did! Before the Isiah Pistons and Riley Knicks teams that won actually played just like MDA's teams and won Titles!!! It can be done if you have great talent.
