sure that may work over the span of 82 games in the regular season.
It's the style that will produce the most success when you have 4 below avg defenders in your starting lineup over the course of a season.

And it worked.

But you can't change that style entirely once the playoffs start. And flip side, you can't not do that during the regular season because then you don't even make the playoffs.

It is what it is. We don't have good defenders.

Yep...it's actually rather amazing how well our overall defense has held up this season. The "total" has far exceeded the sum of the "parts". Willie (or whomever else we want to give the credit) has done an excellent job of molding this crew of numerous sub-par defenders into a solid unit.

This lack of individual talent defensively is why I continuously harp on the fact that the Pels desperately need Dyson Daniels to develope into a full-time player at some point next season. He is FAR more important, than most folks realize.
