The 2-4 record is when he played 28 or more minutes (which is pretty much "full-time" for a 7-footer), I threw out the games where he played less

Deng has always needed a good system to play well. He was never a guy who you threw the ball to and made things happen.

When your stars are pulling in .1 WS/48 and it only gets worse from there your team is bad. It's not that they're hurt. They just aren't that good. Being hurt makes their not goodness look worse.

Kyle Korver is shooting 85% on spot-up 3-pointers from the right corner this season. Is there a way to find out what the record or where that would rank is? cc: Zogo

Lockback posted:So if Whiteside has been the best player in 2015, why aren't the Heat winning very much? Clearly, Whiteside is a good player who deserves minutes and all that, but the Heat games I watch he seems to sell out for Rebounds a LOT and crashes the offensive glass A LOT that requires other players to cover transition D. He does finish around the basket really well and he is a super-high motor guy, for sure. But this sorta looks like someone who is getting overrated by advanced stats by a healthy margin. I wonder if he'll be a "pump and dump for assets" guy? Its because Wade, Whiteside, Bosh and Deng have played a total of 28 mins together this whole season. Thats not even counting McRoberts. Miami has been banged up like hell this season and I don't expect anyone to really care but no one has been bit as hard by the injury bug this year except maybe the Thunder (They are at least healthy now.) Also we literally have the worst point guards in the league so whenever wade is out its like a gaping wound. Its just really frustrating to be a heat fan right now because we have no idea how good this team really is because we have barely ever seen the whole team together. I mean that might just be how its going to be with wade but the rest of the guys shouldn't be that injury prone. As for Deng he has been pretty good this year when healthy. He has been injured though a large part of the year and just playing through it. I also don't believe Whiteside is being overrated by the stats believe it or not. If you look at when the heat are able to make runs and score and close the gap in the lead its always when he is on the floor. The second they take him out the other team starts a run.

Lasagna Pilot posted:Why isn't their defense better? There are just a lot of breakdowns everywhere and it leads to opponents shooting a very high percentage. Some combination of poor effort, lack of communication, lack of continuity, and just bad play overall. Bashez posted:I don't agree with this at all. Whiteside is an obvious example. Even with terrible guard play he can still produce. I mean in terms of producing wins. Hassan will get his rebounds/blocks regardless of what the guards do, he'll get a few post ups and face-up jumpers, and he'll get some putbacks on offensive boards. Most of that he can do regardless of who's playing at guard but it doesn't mean the team will win more games just because he's putting up 20/20.

You can. If they are bit players. But injuries have made them significant parts of an offense that moves the ball and goes nowhere.

I really thought Ranadivé would make an insane HC decision after the pivot, disrupt etc. business. Instead, the Kings made the most conservative possible choice.

It's a little different when you still have the other 3-4 top players on your team playing and you have an established system with no new players from last year. The Spur aren't top heavy they are incredibly deep. Leonard, Splitter, Parker, Bellinelli, Mills have all missed significant time. Daye and Anderson have started 12 games combined for the team. They got real thin there for a bit. I agree that it affects the Spurs a lot less than other teams but Parker and Splitter have been pretty awful in their returns. Kawhi was playing with blurry vision until he tore a ligament in his hand; which may or may not explain his terrible shooting numbers over that stretch. The Spurs have been lucky with Duncan.

Pelicans will be without Davis, Jrue, and Anderson tonight. That leaves only Evans and Gordon as players that are actually a threat to score. But they are going up against Gobert so... welp. I think I won't bother to make the hour drive to the game tonight.
