I'm still not happy with our defense. The communication is what we're going to have to work with. These (opposing) offenses are geared to handle the type of defense we're running. We're just a little bit late (and giving up) too many layups and too many points in the paint.

You know your stuff.
Layups, points in the paint, and the inability to defend the pick-and-roll are not three things that come to mind when I hear the words "stifling defense."
Good thing you got Kurt Rambis on the job.
He'll figure it out.
Right?
