Too bad this is getting lost under the avalanche of crappy threads. Instead we are getting 90's vs. 2018 polls and delusion train threads.
I hope the passing and scheming is more decisive as the offense centers around the threat of shooters or offensively skilled ball handler Harden/CP3. There really isn't much to the offense than very unique personnel.
why is the end of the season more important than the present moment? and imagine if there were no injuries it would be by far the best ever
Look at the list of the best offenses of all time, you have: - 2018 Rockets: The best passer of all time, the second best passer and shooter in the NBA, surrounded by shooters and an elite P&R center - 2017 Warriors: The greatest shooter of all time, The greatest offensive big man of all time, an elite point forward, and one of the best spot up shooters to play - 1996 Bulls: The Best player to ever play basketball, surrounded by shooters, even at C (extremely rare for the 90s) - Showtime Lakers: The best passer ever at his height, and the all time leading scorer - 1995 Magic: An elite do-it-all 6'5" PG with a man who had a 40 inch vertical at 7'1" 290 lbs. - 7 Seconds or Less Suns: elite point guard, shooters everywhere, one of the best offensive big men to play the game TLDR: Elite personell is REQUIRED to be Elite, let alone all time great. It doesn't matter how much fancy passing and ball movement your offense has if you can't hit the backboard.
Huh, wonder why it's different than ESPN's website which is supposed to be the same stat. I seem to recall one of them doesn't take into account garbage time or something?
i think its due difference in counting possessions or criteria 'what constitutes a possession' not due to garbage time exclusion perhaps @heypartner can help if i recall well he mentioned this somewhere
Bbrefernce and NBA.com are in slight disagreement with how to count possessions from PbP. However, since they are consistently off for all teams, the yearly rankings are basically the same, and, likewise, historical rankings and NetORtg is close to the same. That said, it is one of my big pet peeves that such a highly referenced stat and widely accepted as the best team measure is not agreed upon how to calculate. MLB does not have a problem like this. Both sides would agree upon the standard I’m thinking bbref is saying that their calculation supports more years of PbP data, and maybe NBA has another reason Or since NBA’s number is larger, Kerr is right, and the league just likes higher scoring. Haha
