Tiger watcher,

still early days, but I do agree with you to some degree.

I remember Lemanis not been a very good defensive coach. His team excelled at the Breakers because:

1) they simply out-shot opponents i.e did it with their offense; and
2) the good defensive work from that Breakers team largely came from the individual defensive brilliance of guys like Jackson, Boucher, Vukona (i.e. those guys sorted themselves out defensively).

This team has some shortcomings defensively - are they too soft? That would be my concern with players like Ingles, Motum, Newley etc. there are no defensive athletes other than Exum. You could question their lateral quickness.

If this team had a Vukona type, their defense would be much improved.

Maybe everyone needs to start looking at it from a defensive angle rather than simply looking at offensive numbers and saying things like "Motum is excellent" etc. There is something wrong defensively
