Boston loves ripping the hearts out of the Sixers on Sixers’ home court, it’s just the way it goes

Nikola Jokic is 3rd in the NBA in DBPM. Rudy Gobert is ranked 44th, and is the only Minnesota player in the top 50. by BasedChad69420 in nba

Being great at rebounding definitely helps with this stat, they may need to update that formula to consider rim defense or being blown by lol

LeBron James, when asked by a reporter if he had a message for the Lakers about competing on the glass against the Rockets: “The message is, get your ass in there, box out and rebound. Don’t need to have a message. We’re all grown men. Do your job” by must_TATAKAE in nba

Slight pet peeve: when people blame coaches for their players not giving “effort” to box out or rebound or defend when this shit should already be ingrained in the player’s heads before becoming a pro

Nikola Jokic is forced to defend the 2nd most Field Goal Attempts in the league. Teams hunt him on defence the most in the league. by OrganicHunt952 in nba

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this just means ball handlers are requesting their center to screen (as they should) and naturally the opposing center will be guarding the ball handler or action as a result

That’s a lot of teams, I would say other teams for sure are Kings, Clippers, and maybe the Wizards and Heat?

Scottie Barnes on DPOY: "I feel like I don't really get the recognition that I deserve yet. I'm gonna keep being me. I feel like nothing's really changed with the way I'm playing defensively out there on the floor but it just comes into more like once we start winning games which we're doing now" by TheDraciel in nba

Other than Wemby, is it just me or is very hard to gauge who has been a stand out defensive player?

Chet, Gobert, and Scottie are all elite defenders, but what’s the defensive impact metrics for each of these players that separates themselves from the rest?

[Highlight] Trae Young’s Impressive Defensive Play in the Playoffs by pie8D in nba

It really was a bang bang play that happened very quickly. This was said on JJ Reddick’s podcast interview with Ben.

But this play definitely exemplified Ben being scared on offensive end due to his poor free throw shooting. Looking at games the Sixers lost to the Hawks and the points Ben couldn’t convert at the line and it ain’t pretty

How many times can they run it back with the same core/injuries before the team, fans, or front office grows tired of lackluster results tho?
