Premium Member Peoriabird Posted March 12, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just now, AHF said: Those players aren't good enough to be the #1 defense in the league. That isn't who they are. They have played well in the 4th quarter (lately) but that isn't directly translatable to a full game. Oh God no one is saying that they should be the #1 defense in the league but they certainly shouldn't look like one of the worse the during the 1st 3 quarter and then the one of the best in the final quarter. You keep saying that they can't do it but they have and in fact they did play 4 quarters of defense against the Miami Heat. So to continue to say that they can't do it when they have done makes no sense at all sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our other wings range between solid (Snell) and bad at defense so we are going to pressure the rest of the team more when we are missing the best perimeter defenders on the roster. Plus the team wasn't getting killed by wings...It was some bench player named Boucher who had 50 million offensive rebounds and put backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will smooth out some as he gets more games under his belt. This team is a below average defense until Cam / Hunter return, imo. If we can hang around an overall rating between 8 (I seriously question if that is sustainable) and 15 that is a big win for Nate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg#8 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 We have been able to absolutely clamp down on teams in spurts under Nate. Especially down the stretch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for 4-1, but will settle for 3-2. 2 down, 3 to go vs Cavs, Rockets and Thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sturt Posted March 17, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Copied image from another thread... just thought it was interesting to see how well defined the top 8 and the bottom 8 teams in the league are, as defined by net rating. Also, encouraging to think that of those top 8, Hawks actually have wins over 4 of them--Nugs, Nets, Sixers and Clips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at trends, between ORtg and DRtg you see a stronger correlation between ORtg and Net Rating. The top 10 best ORtg teams are ranked 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 18, 25. The bottom 10 ORtg teams are ranked 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 24, 23, 22, 21, 16. Collectively 16 of 20 in the same top or bottom third and 1 of 20 in the opposite. The top 10 best DRtg teams are ranked 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 15, 23, 24, 27. The bottom 10 DRtg teams are ranked 5, 7, 9, 10, 17, 18, 24, 28, 29, 30. Collectively 9 of 20 in the same top or bottom third and 6 of 20 in the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
