"Ric Bucher: Keep in mind with all prognostications: we're watching the game change before our very eyes. The precepts for winning championships are not the same. You can have a mediocre defense and win a title, but you have to have a great offense. It used to be the other way around. Now where the scales fall between O and D, that's what we're going to learn this season."

nba ball has developed players playing with basketball rules that don't make sense
