Hey, your opinion is yours but I don't know how many times i have watched NBA games )other than Ply-offs) when most of the players just stand around the basket and let each other drive in for stuffs. I think the NBA defense can be tough but a lot of the time it is just going through the paces.

tberry,

I find myself usually agreeing with most of what you say on here, but you're way off on this. First, it was a preseason game so of course the defense wasn't great, but in general the defense in the NBA is ridiculous compared to college. Why do think so many guys who lead their team in scoring in college end up being offensive liabilities in the NBA.

The defensive schemes they run in the NBA are so much more complex than anything run in college. Take some time this season and watch the Celtics, Spurs and Pistons play defense.

Actually it goes to show he was playing against FC Barcelona……..If there was no defense in the NBA then wouldnt JJ Reddik be able to what ever he wants……..just goes to show people who do not watch the NBA don't need to be commenting on this just my opinion when it gets down to it EJ will average prolly around 12 points when he starts playing against NBA players instead of people from Barcelona and people trying to make the cut to get on a team they are playing for.

Just goes to show that there is no defense in the pros. He couldn't get it done like that in the Big Ten because there is defense in the college game. The pro game is just glorified play ground.
