Good on ya , Nice Motorsport intl kick plate . <| sep |> Well whenever it was , it was a very smart change . <| sep |> Yes , if you ignore context like Mr . Ropp , it paints a bad picture . But go look at the rosters of those Milwaukee and Atlanta teams and then tell me how they should have been top defenses . This also shows his progressive improvement when he actually got a capable defensive roster those first three years in Portland . Edit Here are two of those rosters . They are terrible . reference . comteamsMIL 2006 . htmlreference . comteamsATL 2004 . htmlAnd look at our current roster . Ed struggles against PFs , which means 4 of 5 starters are poor defenders . And Plumlee is awful at protecting the rim . Stotts isn ' t a miracle worker that makes poor a defender become DPOY . That shouldn ' t be a criticism of him .
