    Through 4 games we have the greatest team offensive rating in history, surpassing last year's Warriors and every legendary team you can think of, including the Rockets 3 top 20-alltiime offenses from 17-19.

    Through 4 games we have the worst team defensive rating in history, surpassing the 1982 Denver Nuggets

    Weirdly, most of the all-time worst defensive efficiency teams still finished above .500 and made the playoffs.

    Yeah let's.

    It would be funny if nothing changes after the next 78 games.

    Now imagine our offense if we took more midrange!

    Not being pessimistic, but I don't see how our defense will get better. Is Turner a defensive minded assistant..? I don't remember he is. Offense is great but defense is egregious.

    It would drop in offensive rating but will be just as bad defensively.

    Capela has been awful he doesnt show and also selfolosha still does not know how to switch. It will get better, we usually get better defensively after all star break. Fom what I can see its mostly effort and we need a PF and to stop playing pj so damn much.
