I think holding Lebron to zero points in the first half for the first time in his career with our new acquisitions speaks tons about what we changed in the summer. Especially considering what Wade did to us two years ago. I know you emphasize the "fast teams" problem, but we have struggled in the past with one-man teams too.

Tremendous and significant changes, or retaining a lot of what they are?

I think DLord was emphasizing "ton of positive" more so than "ton of changes", even if he phrased it that way at one point. We've seen positive defensive efforts from Jones and Hassell, and Bass has contributed as well. I think those are the kinds of changes he's talking about.
