The league average offensive rating thru the halfway point of the season is really up there over the last 30 years or so after increasing about 3 points from last season to this one. ( A better post, this time authored by presidual, than the Sunday one.)

Probably should be there instead of Klay, but team records/defense also count (both of which look bad for Lillard). I also think Conley deserved a spot ahead of Lillard.

that's what they get for gambling on rondo

My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn't pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn't take days off. My vets didn't care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn't blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn't have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn't change the plan because it didn't work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can't win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don't deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it's the leadership.

the problem with using those 3 basic offensive boxscore #s for some kind of historical comparison is that offense is the highest its been in 30 years.

It is essentially just comparing points-per-100-possessions by the teams. It isn't something that's truly dumbfounding as it has been obvious offense-efficiency is the highest it's ever been with 3-point shooting as accepted as it is now. It's just meant as a way to look at it from a historical perspective.
