Meet the Best Defensive Team in the league by a LARGE MARGIN

[SuaveHooper88]

Stat Wise

They have the BEST defensive starting 5 in the ENTIRE NBA by a LARGE MARGIN

They also have the BEST defensive 2nd unit in the NBA by a LARGE MARGIN

If their second unit was a starting 5, their second unit would be the BEST defensive starting 5 in the NBA

They are right up there with the Spurs in terms of being best team in West BY FAR.

As long as they stay healthy we will see a Spurs VS Clipper WCF

Let's see what the casuals have to say..

It's fukking 10 games into the season. This Doc Rivers, Chris Paul & Blake Griffin Clippers team is never winning anything.

 

[malbaker86]

wake me up when they make the finals

One phrase, sample size. Let's see how the defense holds up after a 25-40 game span.

Spoiler

@ me responding to this casual seriously

Warriors in 5

 

[NoMorePie]

And they'll still get smacked by the Warriors by 30 points.

Clippers ain't anything until they can make a deep playoff run

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Using this same logic, couldn't you easily make the argument that they are better than the Spurs right now?

They have been better offensively (or at least around the same), and like you said they have been the best defensive team easily. They are also currently #1.

[beenz]

This is why stat nerds get bad names because of stupid arguments like this... They have possibly some of the worst back court defense in the entire league lol

....is this dude in the running for WOAT poster?

If not, why NOT?

Let's see what the casuals have to say..

The casuals are trying to figure out why the Golden state warriors went from being a top 5 defensive team to being the 17th best defensive team in the league.

Keep in mind for the most part golden state has only played some of the worst teams in the NBA. golden states only win against a legit team was when they beat okc.

Golden state went from top 5 to 17th best in defense while playing mostly scrub teams all season

U can't be serious.

Jj reddit is one of the best on ball defenders in the league. In fact jj reddit is more known for his great defense than his shooting in the NBA.

Chris Paul is the best defensive point guard in the league.

Austin Rivers is one the best on ball defenders in the league.

Wesley Johnson is a great on ball defender.

You just exposed yourself as casual.
