Is that like saying someone is like Robert Brickey with a sweet free throw form?

I seem to remember Quinn giving TT (who protects the ball very well) a fit in the BW game. If Quinn can up his on the ball pressure, we may have the makings of a very special team. Pressure defense leads to turnovers leads to Hood, Rasheed, Cook, Parker, Semi, Murphy, etc... in the open court... WOW! Can't wait.
Duke scored between 88 and 92 ppg four seasons in a row in the late 90s, early 00s:
1998-99: 91.8 ppg
1999-2000: 88.0 ppg
2000-01: 90.7 ppg
2001-02: 88.9 ppg
I expect we may play a pace similar to those teams, and if we do it stands to reason we have a decent chance of scoring in the 90 range.
Either way, we'll know soon enough.
We'll see about that. First, they may "emphasize" things for the first month or so and then revert to something closer to the norm. Wouldn't be the first time, and the inconsistency would muck with team productivity. Second, if teams don't adapt quickly to the new officiating, then we may see games with extra stoppages, which can interrupt the flow of a game and impair offensive production as well.

Andre Dawkins: “People ask me if I can still shoot, and I ask them if they can still breathe. That’s kind of the same thing.”
All I want to know is if we can measure defense with cinder blocks.
How else are we going to determine the best defender?

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Not to brag, but I used to play defense much like a cinder block.
I also remember when Eric Snow treated Chris Collins like a pylon. Chris thought he had a charge and flopped even though Snow was able to completely avoid him, giving the impression that Snow went by Chris so fast that it blew him over.
