Dunno how you feel about it, but especially in this game our guys seemed to sacrifice defense for offense. Because nearly everything worked out in that first quarter we were constantly pushing the ball and therefore playing into Houstons hands. Right now where Dirk is clearly not at 100%, Butler missing and Roddy still a week or so away it is important to understand that 30+ quarters are godsend. 47 in the second half seems just about what we are capable of doing right now.
At one point in a season people seemed to agree that the players bought into the defensive importance. That is why I don't understand why we out of the sudden stop competing on the defensive end, cause it might be more important than ever.
