Defense Is More Important Than Offense

Concentrate, Con-test or else you give Confidence; Change, play Consistent, play Correctly, or Cry.

There were lots of “C’s” to go with this game. But it wasn’t a “C” that lost the game.

It was a “D”; a “D” as in lack of consistent effective DEFENSE. And there was weak DEFENSE by the Nuggets tonight on the ball and on the threes from the get go.

Weak, as in no hard effort. Weak as in no determination or focus on their match-ups.

The other player beat them to death.
