if lebron had gone to memphis instead of cleveland they may have had to rearrange the conferences by like 2008

i think they should take some other stuff from them too, make the regular season champ the nba champ, then have a separate "cup" for the playoffs, also let all the teams in the playoffs so theyre longer to make up for the regular season games lost by shortening the season

the celtics have done very well in the playoffs except last year and even last year they got to game seven of the ecf which is not considered that bad, im tired of this story that theyve underperformed they have certainly way over performed all predictions over the jays era, last year was the first year people were even picking them to make the finals

i feel like there is some confirmation bias happening here insofar as it seems more likely to me that already bad teams are making stopping the 3 their main strategy as opposed to being bad bcuz they’ve made stopping the 3 their main strategy. but having watched the heat not care about opponent 3 point rate for years now this is still somewhat interesting to me
The NBA teams who are trying to limit opponent 3PTAs defensively are by and large getting torched on D. Really interesting plot. pic.twitter.com/8cwsNH9Nsi— Haralabos Voulgaris (@haralabob) March 1, 2024

Opponents are shooting 46% from 3 against CHI? Yeesh.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:29 (six months ago) link
the x axis is 3pt rate as a percentage of total shots (how many threes vs twos), not 3pt accuracy. the y axis is showing efficiency per possession when a 3 is attempted by the opponent
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:32 (six months ago) link
actually sorry i’m wrong about the y axis it’s just showing overall halfcourt defensive efficiency. just a basic measure of 3pt volume by opponent vs defensive efficiency
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:34 (six months ago) link
the bulls letting opponents get up a three on 46% of possessions is still insane, but their half court defense ranks in the top 12-15 or so in the league
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:36 (six months ago) link
Lol, gotcha. That upper/upper left has some terrible teams. Is IND because of their terrible D in the first half of the season or did they get better?
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:38 (six months ago) link
feel like the bad teams might be giving up fewer threes cause their opponents just dunk instead
― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2024 23:48 (six months ago) link
yeah i feel like there’s some correlation/causation amiss with this
― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2024 23:55 (six months ago) link
theyre also fast teams so transition leads to more dunks fewer threes too
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:04 (six months ago) link
as far as the question is giving up threes good its prob a devils in the details sort of thing thing, like the celtics give up a fair amount of threes but not very many of them are from the corners, and good defenses will be better at understanding which players to let shoot and so forth
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:10 (six months ago) link
you also don't need to take a bunch of threes when you are up by 25 points the whole game xp
― Clay, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:10 (six months ago) link
if you can keep yr opponent out of the paint yr preventing the best threes which are drive and kicks out of a collapsed defense, so maybe playing off shooters a little bit is good you keep them out of the paint and dare them to shoot which leads to quasi contested threes off of swing passes, mediocre threes if you will, the sort of shots when your team takes them youre like feel like they couldve got something better
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:15 (six months ago) link
When they expand two more teams, if they're in the west (i.e. Vegas and Seattle) I'd imagine it's an easy decision to move Memphis to the eastern conference and kill a couple birds with a stone there. However, the NBA isn't one for making logical decisions like this so I'm not holding my breath.

would be interesting to dive deeper into that data and see if specific teams with extreme good d/bad o splits skew for particular years. i looked at the replies to the tweet and didn't say anything that spoke to that but did come across this amazing picture:

Free Throw Attempts before and after Jan 31,2024You can see a sharp drop in offense after Jan 31, the main reason is due to less FTs i.e. shooting fouls not being calledAll except 2 teams (CHI, HOU) have lower FTA after Jan 31 than beforeLargest drops: PHI,NYK,NOP,BOS,MIL pic.twitter.com/t3cEf5yk4D— Sravan (@SravanNBA) March 11, 2024

sixers and knicks big drops prob mostly due to injuries, celtics are being persecuted tho, they dont even get to the line that much in the first place its unfair
