D'Alessandro: 'D' Still the Issue, but Don't Give Up Hope

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In defending his stat-laden weekend analysis of the Nets' season, Dave D'Alessandro says it comes down to the Nets not having the "personnel, mentality, or toughness" to defend the way they once did. Specifically, he cites Vince Carter's inability to fight through screens and Marcus Williams poor overall defense. Still, says Dave, a matchup between the #7 seed (Nets) and #2 seed (Cavs) could prove interesting because "nobody defends LeBron better than Jefferson".</div>

Good read. This article really tells the truth about our defense and our future playoff chance. I think we could beat the Cavs in a seven game series. I don't think we could beat the Pistons, which is why I want to get the 7th seed.
