I do think their D has gotten worse, but that isn't to say that it won't get better. It might just be a case of them focusing on the offence right now, because its a new system.
I don't base it just on last night's game, its been all 9 games. I haven't seen much of the "lights out" D as Sheed calls it. Too much dribble penetration, too many easy buckets, too many offensive rebounds, not enough contested shots, too much zone D!
I'm hardly losing sleep over it, but the D and bench could definately be better.
