We certainly have games where our defense is terrible, but generally it's mediocre and occasionally above average. Besides, D-Will, AK and Brewer aren't the problem; it's the interior D.

Actually, we're a slightly above average defensive team. We do have lapses where our defense is not great, and we certainly aren't anywhere near the likes of a Boston, Detroit or San Antonio....but we're not anywhere close to terrible. We are capable of being a very solid defensive team with the personnel we have now, which would be enough to give us a shot at winning it all.

I think he's smokin reality. Jazz were 12th in the regular season in points allowed per 100 possessions. Most people who think the Jazz are a terrible defensive team don't watch many non-Jazz games.

AND he played like a scared little schoolgirl in round 1. I think he is overrated personally.

He is a bit overrated but ill be honest, the dude is a beast and i love his game when he is playing it like he knows (ie against utah getting 11 blocks)

still doesnt make my cut on the all defensive team tho

I'm happy for Deron and it's good to see him getting some love. While Chris Paul is doing his thing, I just feel it's fair for Deron to get some credit as well, and I have been a supporter of his before he came into the league.

I'd go gay for Deron... of course Deron wouldn't go gay... so I am stuck in a circular paradox!:o
