Isiah Thomas on the lack of defence at Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t found a good strategy to pile up their defence. Former NBA player Isiah Thomas said, “I come from that school where defences wins championships, because although you can be great offensively, but if they don’t get their act together defensively, they’re not going to have the type of success that we all know they can have.” He also added, “What we’re talking about today, in terms of Durant, Harden, and now Kyrie Irving to go out on the perimeter, I don’t know if there’s ever been three dynamic perimeter players on the same team at this level ever in the history of the game with the exception of OKC.”

Assembling a super team isn’t enough for the Brooklyn Nets. In order clinch the title, every aspect has to be flawless. However, their defence doesn’t suggest so. Isiah spoke how important it is to get a right defence. Brooklyn nets looks unstoppable offensively. That indeed is a great pull. But if they fall for their defence continuously, they possibly cannot get their hands on the title this year.
