I'd rather have a team that is better for the playoffs than a team that can score 140 on the lakers.
This team lost depth, chemistry, and it's identity. And did so during the season and had to adjust rotations and build new chemistry with those new rotations and such on the fly and then battled injuries and players playing hurt. This over sensationalizing of Nelson rly blows my mind.

You win man. Yeah we need a defensive anchor since Marion left. I hope Rondo proves to be that guy. He is a bit undersized against Harden though. Parker would seem to be a more natural player to defend.
