More than halfway through the season this where we rank in certain categories across the league. Anything surprising? Anything worrisome?

  2. The 3-point shooting ought to get less streaky and more steady, but we’ve been saying that for years.

  3. It’s surprising we are shooting 35% from 3 lol 😂 feels like it is way closer to 30

  4. Rebounds and apparently us letting teams shoot the ball at a stupid high clip from 3. It’s gotta be the corner 3 protection

  5. That -2% differential from 3 feels like -15%, but I guess the defensive system is working as intended since we are still +5.5 overall.

  7. This has been the identity of our team for 3 years. Honestly nothing surprising here at all. With the short off season and championship hangover some numbers can be even better. Front court injuries means our rebounding is lower than it has been. All that matters is being healthy in April because the only team equal to us when healthy is Denver

  9. Not bad, sometimes we’re like the worst 3 point shooting game, sometimes we’re not, so 15 seems appropriate

  11. That O3FG% definitely worked its way into my Pavlovian cringe response anytime an opposing player shoots a 3.

  14. Being first in opponent field goal % and 26 in opponent 3pt % is crazy, but sums up our defence well.

    I sometimes wish we could pressure the 3 a little more but I realise the game plan is to swamp the point of attack

  15. The difference between OFG% and O3FG% is wild. How are we giving up that high of a 3 point percentage and still leading the league in overall opponent field goal percentage 😭

  16. 3pp% looks bad on paper but… best in the league are the Nuggets shooting 40.3% (bonkers I know), then is:

    – Bucks 39.3%
    – Knicks 37.8%

    It means that scoring two 3 pointers more every 2.75 games would get us to 3rd place in the league. 6 points more that is.

    What is concerning is that with our style of defense we’re in for a proper ass reaming if we meet the Nuggets in the playoffs.

  18. They need to upgrade the 3pt defense, even if it means slightly hurting 2pt defense.
