But not as much as I am - and you have the better defense team on paper. I run a normal pace, you run a fast one.
I disagree. The only # you can be looking at to believe that i'm lesser defensively is opp ppg. And that's erroneous. #1 in blocked shots, #1 in rebounding, #2 in opp fg%. It's still domination. The ppg is just window dressing that's influenced by pace. But the pace runs 2 ways, so it's still domination.
Uhhh....I'm almost certain that games are not decided by blocked shots or rebounding.
IT'S ABOUT POINTS.
Wow, you're a genius.
Actually, more like increadibly slow.
Obviously, the goal of the game is to score more than your opponent. The strategy comes in on how you get there.
By me saying opp ppg is thus window dressing, it's because it is. Yes, faster pace makes your opponents ppg increase. But if your ppg increases by more than your opponents ppg increases, then it's working. So an increase in opponents ppg is not necessarily bad, and not necessarily the best mark of how successful your defense is.
So, by your logic, the fact that I outscore opponents by
11 points per game compared to your
5.9 ppg, that also makes my defense far superior.
Basically, you can pull whatever numbers you want out of your ass, but I'm telling you, your defense is far from dominant. Yes, you lead the League in rebounds per game with 55.9. But you GIVE UP 52.1!! I average 53.1 but only give up 47.8. Therefore, I have the edge on rebounds.
Opponents make 2.5 more field goals per game against you than they do against me.
I'd say your defense is far less dominant than mine. Bringing me back to my original point of the fact that your defense SHOULD be better, but it isn't. And I think it's because you kill it with your fast pace.
