The Warriors interior defense is laughable without Bogut

Top 5 in blocks this season tho.

while allowing opponents to shoot 60% at the rim. Good for 23rd in the league.

Damian Jones to the rescue

Ontop of....

22nd in the league in rebounding differential, they were 8th last year.
20th in the league in defensive efficiency, they were 5th last year.


They can get slightly better at these things, but they aren't a lockdown defensive team anymore, which is what they were the last two seasons. They're going to need to find someone to do that job, they lost one elite rim protector, one good one, and one slightly above average one, replaced by a terrible one.

I don't know why he would up this thread

Now that's how you're supposed to respond on a sports forum. Repped. I have no comeback to that stat.

No they're just inconsistent, right @Gil Scott-Heroin?

It's actually both. They're inconsistent and they lack a big, defensive 5 like Bogut that can give them a good 20 mins a game.

You can't even if you wanted to. Dubs lose their only rim protectors from last yr - Ezeli (43.6% DFG at rim, 3.5 FGX) and Bogut (45.2% DFG at rim, 3.5 FGX) - and replaced em with a C rotation of Zaza (59.7% DFG at rim, 2.1 FGX) and West (46.9% DFG at rim, 1.3 FGX). They go from 7 FGX to 3.4 FGX at the rim from your major minute loggers at the 5. That's horrendous.

FGX - Forced missed FGs

It's a roster issue. They will struggle defending the rim unless they make a move.

EDIT: They got about 37 minutes of really good rim protection last season. Very hard to to replace that.

Willingly become a worse overall team after making the finals 2 years in a row and producing the greatest ever regular season brehs.

There's losses yet there's gains
