1 on 1 game: Best Offense V Best Defense

Battle of the 3 point shooters:

Larry Bird vs. Larry Bird from the Big Mac adverts of the 90's (with MJ).

Big Mac Larry would win. I doubt normal Larry could hit a shot off the expressway, off the traffic light, off the postman, over the river, off the car, through the window, off the wall... nothing but net.

Yea, I do think the NBA is offensively-focussed. But that's a great thing, because it makes for a more entertaining game. I can see your point though Anon, Boston's defence is outstanding

The Celtics are the best though, and they are in a whole other league(Celtics opponents average 89 PPG). They are that good. Look at all the other teams. I'm not saying NBA defence is bad. I'm more reiterating the idea that the NBA defence is not as good as what it is made out to be.

-New York's opponents are giving up 107.5 PPG on average
-New York are letting their opponents grab on average 49 rebounds per game! Where's the boxing out on defence

Looking at those 2 stats, that i just randomly picked out, it would seem as though the defence is very poor.
How you can give up 49 boards a night as well as 107.5 Points a game is crazy!

Offense will most likely always win as they have an advantage. It is an old cliche', but the offensive player has an advantage. He knows where he wants to go, and what he wants to do. It is up to the defence to react accordinly.

Talking of defence, how bad is it in the NBA?
Is the defence really bad or are the offensive players just too good?

Because you see some ridocolously high scoring matches. And not to mention the fair share of wide-open looks. Lets be honest, getting an open jumper in the NBA isn't as hard as what people think.
