We haven't been this STONKY since the TMac/Kmart/Outlaw days!

...but it's completely impossible to catch any of the top 4 East teams so we're still going to have to face a ridiculous juggernaut in the first round of the playoffs no matter what. Somebody send a couple of these teams to the West plz

You guys are positive rebounding differential and are pretty TO efficient too, interesting case study. I think it’s a combo of positional D and blocks (second fewest in the league), which are both highly correlated with oFG% (where opposing teams are shooting a pretty insane .483 against the Blazers)

Do we know that blocks correlate to oFG%? They obviously equal a missed fg, but if you control for that and remove that missed shot from the oFG% denominator, I wonder how big the effect is. Article idea for someone
