Are they?

They are near the top but Kobe and Artest have to be the best even though they're getting older.

The duo in L.A. is better, but second best is very possible.

If we take it one step further by including the point guard position, I can't see anyone who challenges the Bobcats.

It's our team D that is impressive, not combo's or individuals.

The way we trap and force turn overs, the way we help, the way we hustle back.

That's what makes our D so solid.

they get my vote

i agree its really our team defense that is so dominant. we are so good at double teaming and pressuring the person with the ball

I will go with the Lakers also because for some reason Jack/Wallace haven't brought it consistently enough on the road yet, but it will come. Kobe/Artest aren't that far ahead.

Of course you can say the Cats play team defense, every good defensive team plays good all round team defense. Having guys like Jack and G.Wall who take pride in defense are difference makers. You're not going to be as effective playing that style of defense with a wing duo Stephon Curry and Anthony Morrow.

Jackson and Wallace are two of the better wing defenders in the NBA so of course you are going to be able to do some things as a team that others can't.

Larry Brown is one hellova coach also. He's somewhat of a drama queen, but I've always loved his approach to playing ball, 'the right way'.

do you guys know what's even more impressive? We are playing the best defense in the league with a line up of Ray/Flip/Jax/Crash/Boris.

Who else loved that we were pressing even with a huge lead? I loved challenging the inbound pass and trapping full court at points. I liked the idea of getting the ball out of Nash's hands as soon as possible--it really made them a normal team. The first team defense was just incredible!

Did you get that from 82games or some website? What measurement exactly are you going by.

No but for peremiter team as in 1-2-3 yes.
