I agree.

Bosh must get a lot better as well. At this point I'd say Bargnani is a better man defender, although Bosh is a much better help/team defender.

the point is that it's not about having stars at every position, it's about playing great team defense and hitting shots.
Agree 100%.. Spurs are actually a great example of that.

hey, we're not there yet. i know that. we're a lot better off than plenty of teams out there though, even ones that have a star player on the wing.
No doubt.

We have a lot of building to do still.

Sure, some of it will come internally.

But it's really hard to find an ELITE team, and I don't use that term lightly.. whose two best players are as bad defensively as ours are (Bosh and Calderon)
