OT Regarding the criticism of the Blazers' defense

[Lanny]

Okay, our offense met the Indiana defense which is one of the best in the NBA. If my memory serves me, and of course it does, we won that match up.

Looks like maybe Stotts knows a thing or two about basketball.

The best defense is a good offense?

 

[Mediocre Man]

So exactly what does our offense against Indiana have to do with our porous defense?

Also, CJ will likely be back for the playoffs, and that changes the offense from great ball movement to easily defendable ISO

Who on this forum needs to be told that Stotts knows a thing or two about basketball? I dont think anyone would dispute that.

If it was so easily defendable then why did we win so many games with McCollum in the lineup?

Maybe a thing, but two things??

Im not following the title and how it correlates to the op.

Critisism of the blazers d should be nullified because our offence beat indies defense?

Please correct me if i missunderstood because thst is how it reads to me and makes no sense.

Thats like saying 2+2= 37 rotten apples.

The world is not black and white.

I was talking about the playoffs, where we have won less than so many games. Teams can easily defend Portland in a series because they don't run a generic defense like they do in the regular season

That doesn't answer the question either

"Regarding the criticism of the Blazers defense"

Our offense looked good against Indiana

WTF?

Accurate. Very accurate. A thing or maybe two. But certainly not three or more.
