Almost halfway through the season. So, when Capela is on-court our defensive rating is 108.5. And when he is off-court our defensive rating is 107.9. Comments?
He also leads the team in Blocks, Rebounds, Defensive Win Shares and Defensive Box Plus/Minus, so it would seem that AshleyEm, TheAce and What have an old friend to reunite with.
Spurs last year Kawhi Leonard On Spurs DRtg = 107.4 Kawhi Leonard Off Spurs DRtg = 98.9 Clippers this year DeAndre Jordan On LAC DRtg = 113.9 DeAndre Jordan Off LAC DRtg = 108.1 Comments?
And despite leading all those categories and despite our team defensive rebound rate being better with him bring out there.....our defense still gives up slightly slightly less points per possession when he sits. Even though the defense is having to defend more shots per possession since the opponent is getting more offensive rebounds....they're stl giving yo slightly less points per possession than when Capela starts. Yes, the second unit playing against the opponents second unit is a factor, especially during that phenomenal winning streak where Paul was anchoring the second unit. But all the same we've been ragging on our backup bigs like they're trash. (And my eye test says Nene isn't helping our defense.) Yet we're better defensively when CC sits. Guys, what does this say about Capela defensively?
It says that you cherry pick your stats to try to prove whatever point you feel like you want to try to make
team’s defensive rating for the games Capela has missed (against Milwaukee, LAL, LAC, Boston, and Washington): 116.3
Dude... Capela’s minutes come against players like Curry and Lebron. Teams offensive ratings are most likely worse across the board with bench players vs starters. That is Morey’s entire plan. Always have Harden or Paul on the court with 1-2 other starters at all times.
Defense has not been the same without Luc. I´ll take this with a grain of salt. Check Kawhi´s last year, he had worst numbers when he was on. That was the best answer so far
That he has become this year's Basketcaseholic Dead Horse™ and that you will beat him incessantly in a vain attempt to prove yourself right, predictably falling woefully short before you start searching for your next target.
I don’t know where holic got his numbers from because they don’t even add up Our defensive efficiency as a team is 105 according to ESPN, and 105.1 according to NBA.com according to NBA.com, when Capela is on the court our defensive rating is 105.4, and when he’s off it’s 104.8 there’s no way the rating with or without Capela is as high as he says...
115.5 when he’s on...104.4 when he’s off offense: 94.1 when he’s on, 113.8 when he’s off all hail the Bench Mamba
@durvasa -- here again is an example of why the reporting of ORtg and DRtg is really annoying. Reeko is arguing that bballholic is wrong by posting NBA.com stats, yet bballholic is clearly posting BBRef or nbawowy stats. All three sites have three different ways to calculate possessions, resulting in significantly different ORtg/DRtg numbers, leading fans to waste time arguing about numbers that are actually the same (relative to their formulas). Why the heck can't the NBA agree to calculate possessions using the same formula, and get all the stat sites to agree. It's such an amateurish way to treat your key Team Efficiency Measure... and I'm sure the NFL and MLB do not have such a problem just annoying to me that there's no agreement
only reason I brought it up is because those numbers just looked clearly off to me...yes, the defensive rating is slightly better when Capela is off the floor, but there’s no way in hell our defense could’ve been that bad with him on or off the floor for the season a 108.5 defensive rating is usually bottom 5 territory
