Where is the pressure defense?

Where is the full court or half court press? I thought we were going to pressure teams into turnovers that lead to easy baskets. These teams that we are playing now are certainly teams we can at least spring a half court trap for half the game or so. Our offense seems stuck in the mud, so why not try to get more points off the defense?

I agree. Our strength is our speed and transition offense. We can only really capitalize on that strength if we press and force turnovers. The half-hearted press I saw against Toledo even when we were making a run -- just Dez with the ball handler -- is not a press at all.

From what I saw, Tubbs doesn't have enough backcourt players committed to playing full court defense.........................
