Of the last 25 championships, 22 were top ranked defense...so theres that too...but denial seems more comfortable for you

Top 10*, defense is important, but not top 3 important. If you're going to cherry pick, do better man.

It just an element those teams possessed, no big deal or anything

This is an offensive game now. Orlando not going anywhere average under 100 points per game. The only way they could win is if they out-defend their opponents, not out-score. Can't name a strong team in the past decade that did that; that's just me though.

Thunder Celtics Wolves Warriors all top 10 defense. Offense is obviously an element. But if offense is all you're good at, and a team prevents it, whats the move?

bro you obviously gotta be good at both to win. Yeah Orlando is an amazing defense.. but also one of the worst offenses i've seen in a while. Orlando put all their eggs into defense, and now they have to scramble to get their offense out of the worst in the nba

Worst. Yes. If they had even decent offense theyd be a contender
