Wether they are balanced individualy, or if one is significantly defensively apt and makes up for the others.. our 4 best players are all where they are today because of their "offense". none of them are known to be good or even average defenders...they all suffer from blow by's and are considered below average in defense.
team core needs defense.. team defense needs individual defensive performers.. jay has done what he can..he can't help the fact that jose, hedo, bargnani all suffer from blow by's and show no regard towards blocking someone out or being efficient defensively..

why was hakeem called "the dream"??"
Because it rhymes with 'Olajuwon'.

The big problem is going to be finding a coach who wants to take the job. Sure, there are a lot of coaches out there, but would any of them want to step into this situation?
BC will have to crank the charm to 11 if he decides to let Jay go and find another coach.

I completely agree that our core isn't that defensively gifted, but they're not stupid either.

If Jay is fired, I assume English or Iavaroni takes the interm role until next summer, and then we hire a new one. It'll be easier to hire a new coach next summer, not only because more are available and willing to come in then, but also because Mitchell's contract runs out by then so it'll only be Triano + the new coach on the payroll. Which is the same situation as now
