I'm cautiously optimistic...

… about this group on the defensive end (and it sounds like you may be, too). Even Sid in his post-game talked about the defense… he stressed that it’s the only way you can win in this league. Guess he’s learned something over the past few years – and guess these guys are willing to do a bit of the hard work it takes to improve on that end of the court.

very cautiously

Defensive rebounding still isn’t good enough and I worry what big teams will do to our front court. But the effort’s better for sure and they seem to have a better understanding of what they’re supposed to be doing.
