Defense Focus?

[buballer82]

Since I've heard Les comment numerous times that defense is the focus, at what point do we say scrap the defensive focus, lets just focus on offense and try to outscore people? You give up over 50 to a team in the first half and the guys you know are scorers are getting open shots like its a game of horse. I say try to outscore people and at least it will be uptempo and fun to watch!

Certainly didn't work today. :

No.....you'll probably hear more about how the players are buying into the system though.

Phillips and MK on Weems was criminal today

Agreed not my favorite move but they did not do a whole lot worse than those that guarded him earlier. I know that isn't saying much.

The vast majority of his points were with TB guarding him - think you're giving someone a free pass.

No, I mentioned in a previous post that our pregame preparation for defending Weems was not good overall. I just think it was especially poor with those two.

TB did not better.

You'd be dead wrong then as TB only played 6 min in the first half and sat some of the 2nd when Weems was in

Well we tried that today and it didn't work either. We may need a bit more offense to accomplish this. The sad thing is our offense was decent today aside from those five or six missed layups. But we still won't win many games scoring 80 points while giving up 90.

Lol actually you wouldn't win any...considering that whole thing about math with 90 being more than 80

Isn't Weems an All-American? 'Cause he sure looked like one today.
