"It's over. That was the time of the good defensive teams and that is gone. Not that the teams are not good defensively. It's the offense in the league and the parity. You'll see teams dominate for a period and then it switches to the other team. As soon as there is a little drop in the intensity, the other team takes over. Every team does that. It's to do it the least possible. You know it's going to happen."

Now, what Lemaire will do to prevent the team from sitting back will certainly something to look for. By the way, tomorrow is a big day. Per Gulitti, Lemaire will make his first cuts tomorrow.
