Perimeter defense vs Inside defense

[vinceWin]

Which do you feel is more important and why?

In my opinion, interior defense.
Simply because the painted area would mean high percentage shots for the offense.

Well-- interior, obviously. Last thing you want is your opponent hitting easy shots.

It is actually proven that inside defense is far more important than perimeter defense, so there should be only one opinion about that for every knowledgable basketball fan.

Seeing the impact that Tyson Chandler single handedly had on the Knicks defense the past season, I'm inclined to go with interior defense.

Interior for sure.. denying easier shots should be a priority.
