    I don’t know why you keep posting these flippant remarks like ‘nope’ and ‘false’ then link to something different as if you have proven something.

    I said transition points, not fast break points, they are slightly different. That is why I linked to transition defense tracking from NBA.

    Ok, cool? I just said we were 3rd in transition points given up and you jumped on me saying “false” and linked to fast break points which are different. Nice try being a wise ass

    considering fast break is what's actually important I'd say it was false. you don't become inside a top 10 defense otherwise

    and like OP has mentioned, the rockets are giving up next to dead last fastbreak buckets which goes along with the middle of the pack to bad defense they have played this year

    Oh I’m talking about points in the paint. I think they are more important than fast break points so I still think you are false.

    See what I did there?

    not really. because it doesn't have anything to do with it. especially when OP specifically cites fastbreak points per game

    I said the Rockets were 3rd worst in a specific stat and then you called me wrong because they were actually 16th worst in a different stat.

    Are you ok?

    Why would we talk transition defense... it doesnt seem like like the people actually playing and coaching have had any such discussions...

    It’s all about getting a defensive leader. That’s why Iggy is so important to get for us
