Coach D’Antoni reply to what [she] is saying. She says the offense has taken precedence over, or 3-point-based offense has taken precedence over protection. What do you assume? MIKE D’ANTONI: No, never takes priority over defense. Defense, every coach knows you have to have a good defense to win, but all offenses are designed to attack the weakest part of your defense. So plenty of groups, like we performed the Milwaukee Bucks and so they had a middle that hung across the rim. Or Rudy Gobert, who likes to remain again. And usually, so that you’re not, your offense goes to be designed to take plenty of 3s as a result of they’ve clogged up the center. They gained’t allow you to get to the rim, which is all the time the primary precedence of any good offense, is to make layups. So you need to change up your philosophy or your level of assault. What I disagree with. I don’t assume it’s made the sport unhealthy. It makes it thrilling. There’s plenty of, Steph Curry is Stephen Curry, yeah. Turns into a 3-point shot, that will be against the law to not have him within the league or no lead is protected, which is an efficient factor. Or there’s no repeat champions within the final 5 or 10 years as a result of it opens the sport up and offers all people an opportunity to be that dominant staff. -via WBUR / June 1, 2025
