We know they can score, that goes without saying. But the team defense let them down on several occasions in the playoffs.A dominating team defense comes only through a mindset and through repetition. You have to know hwere your help is and where you need to be just as much as you do on offense.
Half-assing the defense during the regular season is going to lead to problems in the post-season. It's early to get too wound up about it, but I want to see some defensive intensity by the quarter pole.
P.S. Major props to Shannon Brown. He's going to be a better version of what Ariza was for us 2 seasons ago. He's become a very dangerous 3 pt shooter and brings insane athleticism to the table.
I wonder if there's any chance of getting him PG minutes in the future. He's not a bad passer and Phil loves his big 1 guards. If you can figure out a way to make him a Deron Williams-type point, you can justify keeping him even after this insanely cheap 2 year deal we have him on expires.

Uh, like the last two years right? It really bit us in the ass....
Relax...You can't play game 7 against Boston defense every night, you would have no legs left by playoff time.....
