P was really tripping in that first argument. A team with the 26th ranked defense should ABSOLUTELY emphasize defense. That's why Kenny was putting so much emphasis on defense. It felt like common sense
It’s like having a good car, with 4 worn out tires. Sure, you can drive with worn out tires (just like you can make the playoffs with good offense but subpar defense), but we all know the dangers of that. In this sense, P was saying, “I’m so tired of hearing you talk about tires,” when it’s the only thing left that needs to be improved about the car.
Kenny is right about the defense... people just get annoyed cus it's not an exciting facet of the game, apart from explosive blocks or flashy steals, P talking about tanking teams being a point about how they're only good on defense is egregious, most of the time those tanking teams play good teams and the game is over by the mid-3rd quarter. They also make sure they have inconsistent young talent on offence
I said this when it happened, I’ll say it again. Don’t ever compare someone who complains about double teams and mascots distracting them at the ft line to the late Great Kobe Bryant… Just don’t do it.
if i’m a GM and my team missed the playoffs, don’t matter if it was by 1 game or 15, and i see that we have a bottom 10 defense, why wouldn’t i go out to try to improve my defense? Pierre basically praying that your whole team stays healthy which won’t happen for any team so why not improve on something you know you can control?
The doubel team part.. they were basically on different pages of the same book.. P said Tony snell isn't getting better needing help with a double team and d book can't get better while being double team. I think the double team helps D book get better but it only make these parts of his game better while d book doesn't wanna spend time on those part he wants to work on other parts. So yes he's getting better. But just not on the things he would Like to work on like step backs and post fades or some shit
P was tripping in the first argument bc he was close to saying that defense didn't matter and a team ranked 26th definitely should focus on their defense rather than having more offense. Defense is important to win championships/ in the playoffs and is such an overlooked part of the game.
I think it’s advantageous for DBook to get double teamed in the offseason to get better on working out of a double team. Cause as you get better you get more double teams thrown at you. Look at Luka or Curry
Pierre goes in so hard on Kenny with the defense, when literally, just look at the Wizards with Beal and Westbrook. Team put up like 110 a game. But the opponents would put up 130. This is the second time in two videos i've seen him argue something where you bring up this wizards team and the whole argument is nothing.. Defense wins titles. Offense wins games.
aye lowkey we don't talk enough ab d mills and the nurk and gobert argument cos he was lowkey wild for that one. even in the moment he was bugging completely and hindsight know he's looks like someone who doesn't watch basketball 😭
