They would be right to say that. I like the press. It's the one thing we do reasonably well defensively. But you have to go deep into the bench for this to be effective for 40 minutes.

I've given up on Jones being able to teach half court defense. He's proven that's not in his dna. Maybe it's time to go the Loyola Marymount route under Paul Westhead. At least it would be entertaining.

I'm not even suggesting we press all game. Just don't wait until we are down late.

this must be the case because there is absolutely NO sign that these players are being coached any part of it. Occasionally you might see something random that happens that might appear to resemble team defense but I think that is just by accidental coincidence when the players just happen to find themselves in position while they are all just moving around trying to make plays.

It's been that way forever here and continues under JJ. I'm so very disappointed that I don't even like to watch them anymore. It's just too painful to think of what could be and then to witness the reality.

I'm pretty much done watching. It's not enjoyable at all.
