worst defenders in the NBA by position via the amalgamation of 4 different defense metrics.

(PG) Reggie Jackson. (SG) Alex Abrines. (SF) Andrew Wiggins (PF) Anthony Tolliver (C) Channing Frye

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2697532-nba-metrics-101-the-worst-5-defenders-at-every-position

all these metrics are good at identifying who is totally, absolutely, completely garbage. and if these 4 defense metrics says a player is a great defender... they are. its the small differences between players that are close to average where all these metrics struggle.

my personal favourite defense stat is the xRAPM : expected Regularlized Adjusted Plus-Minus. it has every Raptor nailed... and i'm damn impressed by it.

Here is a brief look at the most recent predecessor to xRAPM and how it works :

I am really worried about the Suns ability to tank. The Lakers are really gonna have to put it into 5th gear to be able to outwork the more experienced Suns. They are pretty good at this by now.

fwiw, i had blurry vision for 2 weeks and it took me a month to get my vision 100% from my scratched cornea. its like i was wearing a dirty pair of glasses. zero pain though. the cornea is inert like your fingernails or hair.

Amazing how the Pistons gave away Middleton as a throw in for a Jennings trade (Lol!) and he's now far better than any player they have on their roster.

the Cavs are making noise about having several new defensive sets for use only in the playoffs. LBJ claims the constant line up change are also making it tough to have solid team defense. the Cavs defense has looked weak for a while now.

Korver out for a week. Says his ankle has been a problem since March 1. some people like to pick at every comment i make and then look really silly when all the information comes in.

http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2017/03/kyle_korver_could_miss_a_week.html

"Korver missed the Cavs' loss to Detroit Thursday, but he said he's been hurting for a month and really bothered by it since March 1."

i thought Korver looked worse than usual...

Tendonitis sucks. Tendons have very poor circulation so healing from it is slow. so i say : give him some of them cortisone shots and get him out there!

They are middle of the pack in defense right now. It depends if you think they can fix that.

Good time to remind people that no 2 teams have ever faced each other in the finals 3 times in a row.

Delon Wright could steal the stripes off of a zebra

its gonna be interesting to see what he can do against some better guards.

re Korver: any one who has had painful tendonitis for a month can attest that it usually does not go away after 1 week of rest. I strongly doubt Korver will be 100% the rest of this year. He might return in a week like he said but its unlikely he'll be 100%.

Ha! I daresay such an accusation hardly even rises to the level of conspiracy. Perhaps the work of an amateur or neutered conspiracist.

No no. Even a casual observer knows the Association will endeavor to make the Cavs appear competitive when they reach the finals, as they have done for two years already. He will note Tristan Thompson's 55th straight uncalled over the back foul. That Draymond Green will best Lebron in a petty sparring contest only to have that victory rescinded "on review". Perhaps they will even endeavor to have the great Witch Doctor Stephen A. Smith put a hex on Lebron's opponent (as he did to cast an empowering spell on Ray Allen in 2014). The extent of their efforts is truly beyond limit.

But, more seriously, Lebron, for a superstar, and TT for a good roleplayer are two of the players one which their playoff performances can be most affected by refereeing. If refs apply "Shaq rules" properly to Lebron (aka you, Shaq committed the first foul and we didn't call it, so we are letting minor hacks go) he gets fewer FTs, lower FG%, etc. If they go only halfway (let Shaq initiate contact, call petty hacks anyways) you have to 2015 Spurs him to win. And Thompson, jesus, he should foul out in under 10 minutes of gametime every playoff game.
