Of th last 5 or 6 NBA champions who had anything less than elite defending? I'm guessing none. Sure classy offense gets lengthly playoff runs consistently but when you run into an elite defence you get stopped cold. If it were otherwise the Thunder would also have won titles by now.

I just wonder how Pringles is gooing to use Gasol. He loves his stretch 4's so I'd expect to see a lot of Jamison playing the 4. Could Pau be on the trade block?

Simmons suggesting Pau for Josh Smith/Kyle Korver. Scary idea Korver having all the space in the world. Could have a season shooting 60% 3's.

And he wasn't even shooting that well. How the **** does this happen?

Oh it's Grinnell. Carry on.

EDIT: http://www.coachesclipboard.net/GrinnellOffense.html

It's a "run and gun" offense with offensive possessions often lasting only five seconds in duration (12 seconds at the most), usually resulting in a 3-point shot. Grinnell tries to get over 100 shots per game and over 50 - 60% of those as 3-point shots. They crash the offensive boards with four rebounders, going for the long rebound off missed 3-point shots.

Defensively, Grinnell full-court presses the entire game, using several press defenses, forcing the tempo, trying to create turnovers. They usually force about 28 turnovers per game, but their goal is 32. These forced turnovers often result in easy baskets in transition. Half-court defense is not a huge priority... opponents may score in the half-court, but Coach Arseneault believes his team can simply out-score them using their offensive system and their press defenses.

Of his 15 players, Coach Arseneault will typically have 4 - 6 squads of five players (various 5-player combinations) that he uses. He will substitute five new players every two minutes or so, keeping fresh legs in the game at all times, wearing the opponent down by the end of the game. Many players will get playing time and no-one plays the entire game.

Who or what was painful to watch? In other news Jared Sullinger for rookie of the year. You heard it here first!

The bulls blowing a 25+ lead and losing the game.

We're still just a shade under .500, so I hope nobody starts freaking out anytime soon and starts demanding Rose back. This is Chicago after all so I can see this happening. That said, we (still) desperately need more offense, plus we've lost our consistency on defense. This is gonna get pretty ugly until Rose comes back unless we pull off a ridiculous move.
