Where you surprised when some scores reached 170 last year in the finals? I wasn't cause thats the kind of thing this league is accostumed to. Offensive is the king of CssL, scores rarely ever are below 100. Last week when puma barely got over 80, where you surprised? Of course, puma is one of the premier teams in this league. It looked as though someone could finally play defense. however at a second glance, 2 players fouled out early for puma, and another key starter got limited playing time due to foul trouble. On any given day, 6 or maybe 7 players will end up in double figures. All five startes not scoring above 20 points each night is an embarrassment in this league.
It is unfair to say that all players in cssl are defense impaired. Would nike have won a champioship without show stoppas bone crushing defense? It is sad to see, tractor walk way from the game. He was a player who gets 7 or 8 blocks every 3 games. Iggy slam has earned himself a reputation as a defensive stopper in this league. Sniper has shown that he is a threat on defense. But sniper doesn't get enought playing time to prove his shutdown abilities. Jazz can really add a lot of spice to a defense with his post prescense. All point guards go to bed each night, fearing sypda, with his cssl record of steals.
Even with all of these superior players, Offense is still the main attraction. The chocker easily made cssl first team despite his lackther of post defense. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have been on cssl first team it was just surprising that a player like chocker can be so dominant in a one dementional way. When someone says: "defense" what do u think of? most people would pause, and after a few minutes of thinking, talk about an errant pass that led to a steal that led to a fastbreak. The nba has ben wallace or ron artest as thierr trademark defense player. And the nfl with ray lewis, ed reed, and champ bailey as thier defense players. Cssl is still searching for thier shutdown player. We are also searching for a shutdown team. as players very slowly get better defense, It doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon.
