Technically, my finals are done, but I'm still recovering, so here's one more question to ponder. There was a lot of talk about our improved defense this year.  Every time I ever tuned into Comcast (which admittedly wasn't much since I'm out of market), Phil Chenier (bless his soul) was talking about it, citing our opponents points per game average and our defensive field goal ...

Washington Wizards Defense: is there any good news?

... possessions) helps to tell the true story. In 06-07, the Wizards played at the 5th fastest pace in the NBA. In 07-08, Washington was the 4th slowest. As Kevin Broom puts it: What happens if this season's Wizards played at the same pace as last season's? Their points allowed per game would rise from 99.2 to 104.3. In other words, this "improved" defense that Jones and mainstream media are celebrating is in reality an "improvement" of just 0.6 points per game.The Pradamaster also previously covered this concept on Bullets ...

Washington Wizards Defense: is there any good news?

truthaboutit posted 5/21/2008 from www.truthaboutit.net

Avidly watching (and blogging) the Wizards this past season, I came to the conclusion that while meaningfully improved, team defense still had a long way to go, especially in terms of guarding the perimeter.
