Lebron's defense

[KingJay]

LeBron's DRPM ranks 66th among SFs

He's taking off on defense to give more on offense

Is that good graph good or bad?

It depends who you're stanning at the moment.

oh look.. its lebron's overrated defense.. and curry's underrrated....switching places for 20 games.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Horizontal axis is offense, vertical axis is defense.

What was the point in posting this? TPA is not a good measurement for offense, let alone defense.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

TPA isn't a very good defense metric.

To say the very least. It's all based on box score numbers. I wish dudes would look to see what kind of #s/metrics they're using before they start throwing them against the wall in hopes that they'll stick.

 

[Sleepy Walker]

I see your point.Wasnt LeBron guarding KD during finals and was one getting torched?

It's fukkin KD only he slows himself down.

Don't pay attention to the graph.

True

Don't pay attention to the graph.

Yeah all this analytical stuff I just wanna know how many points per game he gives up

breh barely play defense until the last 5 minutes of a game, if its close. he still get some stops here and there, but he's pretty much status

Basically he don't really give effort most of the time especially off ball. At end of games he tries

He’s been great on defense tonight.

Horizontal axis is offense, vertical axis is defense.

That's a cool graphic but I'm not sure I agree with the data. How can Westbrook be so above average in defensive metrics? He's been a minus defender his career, but suddenly he's more effective than Draymond on that end?

He wasn't great, he had some decent possessions (particularly on Miami's ball-handlers), and then there were other possessions where he wouldn't even guard anyone, at all - opting to position himself near the paint just to grab a rebound. The same shyt folks criticize (rightfully) Westbrook for.
