there were not many flashy dunks, i only remember one dunk shot, but i saw tough competition and fluid ball movement that puts many nba clubs to shame.

for me, it reminded me of coach mike and the way he wants his teams to ball. but it seems that most teams in euroleague ball this way. this is basketball.

if implemented properly at nba level it would be awesome.

this concern about defense, look, i'll tell you something about defense right now, and remember this:

DEFENSE IS EFFORT. it's up to the player to exert effort, all coaching be damned.

WHAT A COACH DOES IS give you an offensive scheme, it is up to you, a mature adult, to give effort on defense. period.

mda, visionary, good man. i hope this knicks team grasps this before the celtics series.

i agree, defense and rebounding does consist of mostly effort!
