Again, rebounding and defense can be artificially inflated in the reg season on account of effort and focus. This is why Mark Jackson deserves serious coach of the year consideration.

this is known as the “Chicago Bulls blowing their defensive load in the regular season” theory.

They’re actually the #3 rebounding team in the league right now. The defense is improved also, they’re playing better team D which helps mask bad individual D.

Rebounding is a very circumstantial stat, and I think GSW will come back to earth with playoff scouting, execution, and intensity. Teams should be able to pound them inside, as well as get into the paint off the dribble with relative ease, leading to less rebounding opportunities

Agreed Dr. Tom, I don’t see their d translating to the playoffs. They are getting by on energy and focus IMO. They don’t have any excellent defensive players, and they do have a couple really bad ones. Rebounds should be an issue come more competitive times too

As for the Warriors…I really don’t get it. Haven’t watched much of their team, but are they winning due to perimeter shooting. Jarret Jack is playing over his head.

Yeah they are no where near as athletic as they have been when they won their championships.

They’re not, and if you don’t believe that all you have to do is think back to the OKC series last year, especially once OKC figured out how to defend against Parker on the pick and roll. San Antonio was athletically overmatched from that point forward in the series.

Duncan, Manu, and Parker can defy the effects of time….Old Steve Jackson, Bonner, and No ACL Blair are devastating athletes too

I love that the headline is “Kate Upton and Pitcher Vacation” did not know that Verlander is SEO unfriendly.

A mobile site is a significant part of SEO these days………

Love the Warriors but feel like they’re a player away. Would hate to see them mess with this team though. Maybe if Barnes makes a leap in the 2nd half.

Bogut!

The Raps are playing well, but it’s worth noting their schedule has been incredibly soft of late

Agreed. It should also be noted that their schedule was incredibly difficult during the 4-19 start to the season. They played 15 of first 23 on the road.

Not buying them defensively either. Also, one of the leagues least athletic teams

Spurs are back to the top spot in the league with the best point differential. They have another tough back to back road game tonight. Once their schedule eases up, look out.

D-(segment of picket fence)!!

It’s crazy that they’re 2nd in FG% defense when they have nobody to protect the rim and their crunch-time lineup is Jack-Curry-Klay-Lee-Landry.

Raptors helped by Bargnani injured?

Gmurr summed it up nicely. The defence and rebounding have improved significantly with the current rotation. I believe opponents are right around 90 points per game in the last 10.
