re: Real problem from Tuesday nights beat down.

Unless they press..which they aren't particularly great at...there is a ton of standing around. LSU isn't active on defense. They aren't getting in position early. They are just watching the ball hoping to get a steal so they can quickly transition back to offense.

I was talking about that with a friend. He was complaining that we press or trap too much. I told him that I thought it's because we do a really lousy job in half-court defense, and Wade feels like the lesser of two evils is pressing and trapping. At least we up tempo the game and get the occasional steal. But, not being able to lock down on defense is a serious problem.
