I don't see how anyone left in the east can challenge them over 7 games.
The 76ers should have been that team.
Thanks for looking that up. I was too lazy to check and check box scores to see who played in each game.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 8:27 pm Fwiw (not much more than my post) during the regular season....

The NBA isn't giving DPOY to a player whose Spurs team was 24th in points allowed (T-Wolves were #1) and 23rd in fg% allowed (T-Wolves were also #1).DeletedUser wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 4:33 am Interesting....

and yet they gave rookie of the year to Wemby over Chet.twocoach wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:09 amThe NBA isn't giving DPOY to a player whose Spurs team was 24th in points allowed (T-Wolves were #1) and 23rd in fg% allowed (T-Wolves were also #1).DeletedUser wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 4:33 am Interesting....

In this case, I would very much bet because the Spurs defense is so shitty that Wemby gets more opportunities for those stats - i.e. dudes are always coming at him because no one else can guard their guy. Think of it as a guy who scores, I dunno, 28 points a game on 52% FG vs a guy who scores 32 on 41% FG. And the 28 PPG game guy in on a team in 1st while the 32 PPG game guy is on a team in 23rd.
On top of that, while I haven't watch jack shit for Spurs this season ( 1.5 games? ) I have seen a decent amount of Wolves ( and Rudy in general ) and he influences the game significantly aside from stats - i.e. he's a patient defender and doesn't always go for the swat ( he'll just smother/distract and cause a bad shot ).
