2004 Pistons-Pacers Playoff Series

[Gritsngravy]

what gets overlooked is every possession was a battle in these type of games
plays actually got drawn up and developed in front of your eyes over the course of the shot clock
certain fans are going appreciate that for what it is
everybody ain't trying see 30 pts swings in a quarter behind a bunch of undefended 3s with 20 seconds left on the clock

I was about to say something similar to this, I can appreciate these types of battles
Not to say I can’t watch the shootouts that happen today but them low scoring games had great basketball too
It shouldn’t be an either or thing people making it out to be

If you don't enjoy NBA Defense, you're not a fan of basketball and a casual

I don't care what anyone says

If you and others say you love defense as much as y'all claim, y'all wouldn't go out of your way to shyt on Dray like you do.

In fact, you'd be praising his defense at every opportunity, and yet here we are, in 2023, where he's still treated like a bum, and not someone whose defense has been the backbone of one of the NBA's greatest dynasties.
