Doc Rivers and the Boston Celtics just proved that defense can be coached and learned quickly. K.Garnett of course was the glue. But going into the season we can't say thet P.Pierce and R.Allen were premier defensive players. Not even very good.
Defense always wins championships. And from day 1 the Celtics played it and played the best in the NBA.
Makes you wonder why such a talented team like Denver doesn't have any interest. Yet they have guys like Camby and Martin who can defend the paint as well as anyone. Coach G.Karl had some very good defenses when he had his Seattle group led by G.Payton and S.Kemp. And they lost to the Bulls in the Finals.
Phoenix seems to be changing and may make a run this season as a good defensive club.
It'll be interesting.
