Top offensive team always win more than top defensive teams. Offense wins championships.
In basketball, offense is far more important than defense
-
The big difference in the era of switching defenses is that offense is about your best player, since that’s who will get the ball.
Defense is about your worst player, since that’s who the other team will attack.
That’s why players who can’t play defense ride the pine in the playoffs, however good they are offensively. The Pistons team that won the championship shows that with a great defense you don’t need stars.
