Hard to believe the NBA season is almost a month old already. Time flies when you are changing diapers and trying to stay awake past 11pm to catch a west coast game.

For those who have been watching the Raptors this season, there is one glaring thing that is wrong with the team. They seem to of removed defense from the game plan. Sure there have been the odd moments of shock when they beat Cleveland opening night, slowed down the Bulls at home and made a huge comeback against the Clippers but all-in-all the D have been a giant load of dino-dung.

Every week there seems to be a 120 or 130 on the board and right now the Raps are near the bottom of the NBA, giving up 108 ppg.

I saw the Raptors season preview on Raps TV. It was all about a new team that was going to be focusing on defense. All I can say is, if they are actually focusing on “D”, how bad would it be if they were not?

So what do they do? Do they have Antoine Wright play all five positions? Do they hope the team clues in to how hard they have to work? Or do they bring in a defensive guru to remodel the whole team?

I vote for the latter and have five suggestions on who should take over as a defensive only coach.

You may recognize them. They are some of the best defense attorneys in movies and TV.

Perry Mason (Raymond Burr)

Vincent “Vinny” Gambini (Joe Pesci)

Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon)

Paul Biegler (James Stewart)

Matlcock (Andy Griffith)

Hey, anyone is better than they got right now.
