I used examples because in the last decade most teams were either slow or fast - middle of the pack teams did not, actually, win a ring in the recent...
Really? We are going Mr. Language Person here, Nik? You know what I was inferring with the word look here... Oden was a monster at the start of...
The 2007-2008 Celtics were 19th in pace. The 2006-2007 Spurs were 27th in pace. The 2004-2005 Spurs were 23rd in pace. It is interesting to...
The numbers are available on basketball-reference.com via the game log. I looked at it yesterday - and it is just not true. Sure, there were some...
Honestly, I do not know. That's a good point. I just do not have the details about it - maybe he was just because they had a new coach )Mike Brown's...
Most stats are not precise - that's why you have concepts like confidence level and error-margin in statistics. But what they can do, is give you an...
Yeah, Green is not a good defensive player (but his on/off difference is not as bad as Durant's with -5 vs. -8 per 100 possessions). It is...
54% to be precise, and I do not think they were 8 or 9 points under in most of those, they were usually 2-3 points behind... I agree with this,...
That makes sense - since Durant plays so much - they spend a lot of time on the court with him. Where the evidence is damning - is that when he is...
With all dues respect for Quick and to Miller's ability to finish (which is very nice and was never disputed) - the fact is that at least so far -...
I do not know what this means, honestly. In his rookie year, with LeBron on the court, the Cavs gave up 3 points MORE per 100 possessions when he...
The problem I have with defensive PER is that it assumes that you are on the opponent in whatever position you are playing at all time - so if you...
Looked better in a vacuum or looked better in the starting unit? There is no doubt that he looked better individually and with fast break players...
Are you sure about that. Durant's body looks to me just like KG's early years - and KG is a fantastic defender. Durant is just not a good one -...
What is not really about it? In LeBron's rookie year - his defesive rating was 104 points per 100 possessions, he is now down to 99. Durant's rookie...
I think it is very clear that a consolidation trade is coming - it is just that like everything else - they have to try and figure out when to...
Miller will be just fine once these guys have more time together... and that includes Roy and Aldridge. But, the more I look at the data - and the...
We have seen exactly one game with Miller in the 1st unit - and they started the game like shit. It is not a real surprise that Miller plays better...
I have gone over the game log of last season on basketball-reference.com and we were trailing last year after the first quarter in about 45 games,...
Durant's numbers are not close to LeBrons's. In his 2nd year LeBron had an epic 25.7 PER vs. Durant's very good but not close to it 20.8 Add the...
