It’s time to talk about the most inscrutable topic in the NBA:  Defense! We pick our All-Defensive teams and Defensive Player of the Year.  Are we swayed by Draymond’s self-promotional tour? Is another familiar name being slept on? Where do the big perimeter defensive stars rank relative to the bigs?

We also pick our positional all-defensive teams, discuss whether the 65-game rule changed our picks, and then pick a few categories like best isolation and post defenders, best rim protector, and which players do the most with the least and the least with the most.  Finally, we select our Worst-Team All Defense.

First though, we discuss the shocking news that Michael Malone and Calvin Booth have both been relieved of their duties. Does it make sense for the Nuggets to make these moves now? Plus, how would we assess Booth’s tenure as GM?
