That's funny. Despite the sarcasm though, we probably would look less lost on defense if we had a coach that taught it and practiced it. Still, no excuse for how bad Kobe was on D multiple possessions in a row.

I wonder if any of the following would help on D:

1. Have a scheme
2. Practice D
3. Bench players for not playing D

You know, things a coach might do.

Yes. Listen to every interview with him. Listen to former players. Look at this season's performance.
Can we get some hard evidence that D'Antoni doesn't care about defense and doesn't have the players practice it? Do you guys seriously think that after the horrendous showings on D we've had over the past month that D'Antoni is just sitting there saying to everyone, "I don't care about it" and the players are accepting it? I have a hard time believing this is what you draw up in your heads.

He also has benched Jamison for his abysmal defense as well.
