Odds and Ends

Dave D'Alessandro focuses on defense as an offseason priority in his game recap.
Defense still rules the NBA, and it always will. The top eight scoring defenses in the league are all going to the postseason, and the best of the group -- the Cleveland Cavaliers, who yield a stingy 91.1 points per night -- are the odds-on favorite to take the hardware this year.
He brings up great points that I will be addressing soon. Defense wins championships and the Nets will need to improve it they hope to make the playoffs soon.

Update: D'Alessandro's Notebook details Rod Thorn's desire for winner's.  It will be interesting to see how this effects the Nets' drafting strategy, and whether they will focus on players from winning programs.
It's all about this: Who can you play that can help you win games? To me, that's all that counts -- can they help you win, going forward?
