IOW, my assumption is when we play well we often win by higher margins, but more than most of the other good teams we also suffer more embarrassing losses. I could be wrong, but the average margins wouldn't convey that if I am correct. They'd smooth it over. |

By many metrics this team has increased its pace and offense over last year,
and is playing top tier defense. Perhaps tops based on what ever cut off one picks. Im not sure what Twitter post to use these days but we can at least say they are damn good defesneive team currently and heading to the playoffs. For those that yearn for the good old days, this is as good as it gets. For all the distain we spend on Mikal, he is a member on this team. As mentioned to have this with KAT and Brunson on teh floor one has to say Brown has really done a great job thus far. They managed minutes with a deeper bench and not only have good back ups, but have very good 3rd string players to step up giving days off to guys. HuK does not have his coaches confidence but with Diawara and then Sochan we have been able to reduce minutes some to OG an Mikal and one has to think that could factorin later. THibs was able to succeed wringing out about every last drop from his team. He did a great job in that aspect. Brown seems to have taken a lot of what was working but expanded on some other areas. outside of Brunson, WE don't have anyone in the top 25 of avg per game minutes. https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-minutes-per-game-leaders-this-season. None of this matters if we bounce out before the finals. Expectations are high. As others have intimated that is not always likable and we don't perhaps get the top seed. Leads to the question: If there is a parity amung that lower rung of playoff teams, is there really the incentive to be the top seed as there was in the past? We don't get upsets very often but things are changing perhaps? Some of those teams are doing really well of late. On a side note, kudos to some of the older dudes in the league still putting up big minutes when they do play! |
