![]() Their rankings offensively are what you expect … 8th, 100.11 real points per game (first place is Detroit at 105.63, last place is New York at 86.27) … defensively Dallas is 20th, which is a problem but not horrible yet at 96.66 real points per game (first place is Minnesota at 90.53, last place is Seattle at 108.59). The Mavericks this year are as of today’s games 8th overall in “Real Scoring Margin” at +3.45 points per game. How are you at scoring/preventing on a per possession basis. So the Real Offense/Real Defense calcs I’ve been tinkering with the last few years basically tries to answer that question. And if you can accomplish all of the above, you screw the whole thing up if you start FOULING. If you allow low FG% but are a lousy rebounding team, then you are negating your defense’s hard toil. So if you allow a bad FG%, it is a problem, but if you are collecting a lot of turnovers, that might be a value proposition worth dealing with. The fundamental goal of defense is to prevent points when the opponent has the ball. If you cut through the malarkey that announcers and ex-ballplayers look at it and focus on team defense/offense by possession (which is the only way to look at it fairly). ![]() I think the last couple of years the Mavs have made some strides. Its not personal, just some business advice. Never has a team won a championship based on that, and since that’s the main thing you value in players (since you don’t know anything about basketball compared to CB) then you will never win. It’s a bunch of guys that can score some points, and play soft defense. Also, I can promise you that you will never win a championship because your teams really aren’t that good. The truth is that you are just someone who has a lot of money that bought a team. You were never a part of the NBA, and probably never played basketball. Maybe somethings have changed, but there is no substitute for actually being a part of the NBA like Kenny and CB were. You state, “working off generalizations of how the game was played when you played doesnt get it done.” First, CB and Jet aren’t that many years removed from the game. I really admire you, but there is no way you are winning this one. Its not personal, its just business advice. Im not sure the TNT guys understand that concept. No matter what your profession, if you arent busting ass to be prepared and to get better, you are falling behind. ![]() They dont just show up and play because “they know how to play”. It all comes down to our guys doingtheir jobs.Theydo whatever it takes to make our team better every day. They dont just coach on reputation, they coach the game and coach to improve the team forJune. Nothing personal guys, but working off generalizations of how the game was played when you played doesnt get it done. My guess, you guys are on the short end of the stick Im willing to compare the basketball knowledge of AJ, Del Harris, Joe Prunty and Larry Riley to the two of you anytime. You will love it.Īnd comparing your basketball IQ to mine isnt quite apples to apples given that Im not the coach. It will make it easier to keep in touch with the family and to do your job. THen they IMed or TXT messaged their buddy list and called you out again. When you said that, TNT and the NBAs audience that advertisers covet the most looked at each other and laughed. More importantly, when you say people out there that spend their days on computers have no life. There is some good info out there that could make you better at what you do. I stand by everything i said in my last blog.ĭid you read the blog at all ? It was nice that TNT left out the reference to us tracking our results on defense and going to and away from what was working or not.ĬB, get a 2 way with internet access.
