Focus: Defense, defense, defense It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the Nets' focus should be this deadline. On one end, they're on pace to have the highest offensive rating in NBA history. On the other end of the court, they have the 25th-rated defense in the league. If Brooklyn can play competent defense this postseason, they could win the title. If they don't improve, players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid will eat them alive in the playoffs. Look for them to try to land a rim protector on the cheap like Andre Drummond (Cavs) as well as another defense-focused forward like PJ Tucker (Rockets).
