    Even if the league had kept track of that of that during the regular season, it's one stat Meyers Leonard's agent will never refer to during contract negotiations.

    Should be a revealing litmus test of Hardens "defense"; and a humorous read at that.

    Defence inthe NBA is a joke anyways. More guys will dive for loose balls which means more body contact. There trying to make the NBA a more physical game.

    You are right. Because there is no defence in the nba. There is defense, however. Now if the league was in England, it would be another story.

    So we have the fewest contested shots, 3rd fewest contested 3s, and the fewest deflections.

    Summary: Terry Stotts' defensive scheme is fucking awful. Playing conservative and not going for steals is one thing. But to not even contest shots?! That just screams of laziness.

    And on offense, our screening is trash.

    the screen assist has to be false. the warriors should have at least 75.

    Ever heard of small sample size? All of these facts about our defense and screening are true, but they are from one game. One really shitty game, in fact. I would expect them to look bad. I personally will not make judgments until we see more info and hopefully, adjustments.
