I mean, we're still 23rd in d efficiency (6th last season) and 25th in opp fg%, so total points is a smidge misleading. Strangely though, 8th in opp 3 pt%.

But come on, it's pretty impossible to see anyone trying hard on that end right now.

I mean, it doesn't feel like defense is much of a thing anymore in today's game anyway though. Too many good scorers with the rules making good defense hard to play.

Crappy refs don't help the cause.

Defense is very much alive and well now days. Tell this to Memphis, Milwaukee and Cleveland... As well as a few other great defensive teams. Oddly enough it's just the contenders who are committed to defense. It's not hired 3 and D bullshit guys either. It's guys who are coached and who have a solid understandable scheme.
