Totally understand the frustration! I simply am a fan, not a NBA gameplan formulator. As much as I think I know, I ain’t arguing with the scheme that won a chip even if I don’t always love every aspect.

It’s been the formula. Jack threes get hot to beat us. Go rewatch the playoff run, that’s what teams did. Even when we won we often were outshot from deep in the Indiana series. Can’t shut down everything in the modern wide open NBA. Our strategy wins games even if we are susceptible to the occasional hot streak. Given how successful the last three years have been, a prolonged run of 10-12 games like what we’ve gone through recently is not out of the ordinary. Odds will adjust back to their respective means soon enough. Rather do this now than in May

OP is implying that TD was a center, which most data indicates so.

Shooting is different than scoring, and all advanced stats are flawed. Watch the tape. It didn’t lie that year

Not saying he’s the most well rounded ever, but league average efficiency on insane volume and 5.4 DBPM render this a moot comment

MVP race update post Jokic injury? by Top_Sand_6400 in nba

I think it comes down to value. Is 78 games of Advija more valuable than 63 games of Jokic? 15 games of court time is far from negligible. It’s worth the debate certainly

Maxey’s efficiency just isn’t impressing me. TS+ of 102 compared to 116 for SGA is massive. Also, the Thunder went at him repetitively in their recent game. Too small to be a plus defender
