21st.....

Last season they were Top 5

Just in case you think I'm lying here is the source so you can see for yourself

2016-17 Regular Season NBA Team Stats and League Leaders - Defense Per Game - National Basketball Association - ESPN

The crazy thing is so far it looks like Curry has REGRESSED on defense and his defensive was already bad.

Couple the teams terrible terrible terrible defense, with their asinine amount of turnovers they commit on offense, and their short bench, and you have a team that isn't a title contender.

Ppg is an archaic way of measuring offense and defense.

excuses
The chart im looking takings into account all the stats their opponents put up when playing them.

Ppg is an archaic way of measuring offense and defense.

How so? This list is 100% accurate, which means it is a great way to measure offense and defense.

Golden state is ranked 21st. And golden state is REALLY REALLY bad on defense so far, and they are not even playing good teams.

Because it doesn't account for anything other than points scored. Pace and other important factors are completely ignored.

Pace?

Golden State played the same pace last year, and were TOP 5 in this very same rating.

So you're argument is null and void.

you're just making excuses.

You should be looking at the chart im looking at. It is the most accurate when it comes to Team defensive stats

It's a meaningless rating. They also score more than last year and are still winning games at basically the same rate as the last 2 years.

No they weren't, they were 19th.

Golden State is 8th in Defensive Efficiency so far this season, which is a far better stat for judging defenses because it adjusts for pace. Speaking of pace, they are playing faster this season. 103 vs 101.6.

For comparison, they were 4th last season. It's still very early though.

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

They play one of the highest paces in the league

They rank 4th in opp FG% (43.3%, tied with Detroit) & 9th in Def RTG. They also rank 2nd in opponent 3FG% behind the Bukcs...

Golden state is not the 8th best defensive team in the league that list is highly inaccurate.

Also golden state was actually playing faster last season. They slow it down more often now so durant can do his iso post thing.
