Yeah, but I don't. I can't get there. I do not agree with this, fundamentally. I don't care what the ORating is, tbh, because it looks broken AF to me, and there's no way I trust it against an actual contending team in a 7-game series. No way. Annonuby wouldn't change that equation for me - maybe on a Carlisle team, but not on a Kidd team.
Further, I strongly believe that the defense is actually pretty decent when it wants to be. It can always be better, but to me if you fix the offense and get everyone feeling like they're part of an actual good, contending team, the defense elevates significantly almost automatically. Pair that concept with the idea that Kidd seems only to care about that end of the floor and I personally believe the offense is where improvement needs to come.
