The defense sucking, or, at best, being inconsistent really irks me because this should be a great defensive team.

and as was already mentioned...if this team played better defense it’d undoubtedly help on the other end of floor
This.
If this team is in a game that comes down to scoring in the half court, it could be trouble. The best player at creating his own shot is the worst shooter. I'd actually be ok if Och, Wilson, and Braun started taking 3s with 18-20 second left on the shot clock off 1 or 2 passes simply because it might be the best look they get that possession. Just because it's early doesn't make it a bad shot. Give me a one pass open 3, without a ball reversal, over a Dave/Mitch 15 footer with 3 seconds left any possession.
If you can't score in the half court, you need to be able to use your defense to create easy points. Something Self teams have been so good at in the past, but now seem to control the ball first and advance it second. Giving the opponent time to set up even on turnovers and rebounds.
