 ??? This guy defense is one of the worse i've ever witnessed in the history of the nba. he's awful. Brad Stevens cannot keep this starting five. I rather Tyler Zeller to start at center. Marcus Thornton at shooting guard.

pg: Rondo
sg: Thornton
sf: Green
pf: Sullinger
C: Zeller

Brad Stevens needs a change asap. I can't stand this Kelly Olynk defense any longer. He's just an offense player nothing more.

weigh in.......

Dirk was even worse at defense.. We need a defensive Center period.

If you dislike poor defense (and most of us do) why put Thornton in the starting lineup?  He's one of the laziest, most disinterested, poorest defenders in the NBA.

This... Olynyk is not a starting NBA center. If he was playing next to Chandler he'd look great

You think anybody is playing better defense? Rondo is playing horrible defense. His man is getting by him almost every possession.

This thread is an insult to Andrea Bargnani.

Kelly's pretty bad, but he has some tools to get better.  Length and hops aren't among those tools.

This thread title suffers from all time worse grammar.

Is it too much to ask for a little perspective?

After watching a great effort by the C's, wonderful to see a thread dedicated to hyperbole.  Good night.

OP: Have you ever seen James Harden "play defense"?

you state the obvious. who here was praising olly's defense? even last year most of us recognized that defense was his weak point. folks provided some pretty good analysis as to what his shortcomings are in that area.

with olly, you hope he provides adequate defense to go with great offense. give him more time to learn and develop. he will be a good, not great, pf in the nba.

He's insulted too, along with Steve Nash and Kevin Love and young Dirk.
