I never denied defense was important.
You on the other hand have never admitted offense plays a part. Now i see you are saying defense 1st, offense second. I can buy that in most big games. Still gotta have the O tho.
Offense greatly affects how a teams defense is set up on transition.
Popazits record of 4-6 when he has the best roster did not and does not make his way "the right way to go". His overdone overused 4 Dumb offense, untimely smallball and stoopid player personell moves have cost the Spurs at least two titles.
Take it up with JoeV. He agrees Pop sucks. I don't want to have another circular discussion.
