As a supplement to the blog, Durvasa and I will begin recording a weekly podcast to discuss some of the broader themes pertaining to the team. This week, we focus on the Aaron Brooks/Kevin Martin backcourt, the Houston Rockets’ fading defensive identity, and offseason possibilities.
Podcast – 3/1
I understand the argument there, but it does seem that being a good defensive team becomes more important in the playoffs when games tend to become more half-court oriented. I think it is debatable, either way.
Great discussion. Another point (not sure if stats back this up): Most teams defensive intensity goes up during the playoffs. Proabably due to longer timeouts, no back to backs, etc. Maybe Morey thinks elite offensive talent is even more important in the playoffs?

Nice talk y'all, you were like two little devils on my shoulder talking in each ear. Keep it up, I enjoyed it.
Good stuff, guys. One main thing for next time: don't pan so hard, if at all. Something more in the center would sound better.
