Barkley over here posting on how no one plays defense anymore.
This season so far is the highest ORTG (lowest DRTG) of all time

Luka has been very good as a post/body defender, ok staying in front of his man (but loads better this season), and kind of lovely helping his teammates. I think you can have a good defense around him but I also think that would require a lot of very good defenders.

low drtg is good, highest ortg means also highest drtg. for the league as a whole they're always the same number

I swapped lowest with worst but yes. This season (so far) is the best offense has always been and therefore the worst defense has ever been.

I don't think it's because defensive effort but I think offensively players are getting better faster than they are getting better defensively.

"..The high ground"
I think so much of the basis of modern offense would be completely unaffected even if you let players punch each other in the face- they could call screen violations more strictly but nobody likes watching whistles blow.

nah. the year they introduced the freedom of movement rule saw offensive rating shoot up hugely in just one season. the players are good but the rules have changed to make scoring easier

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Phil Jackson at least backs up Melo's version, I can't remember where but he said the Knicks went out to get Melo without talking to him.

Yeah, I wouldn't be completely shocked if the Nuggets knew they were losing him for nothing if they didn't try and trade him and thus put him on the market. And they managed to create enough of a market to get a pretty good return for him.


It wouldn't be the first time a Front office successfully managed to demonize a player in the media. Helps when the player is well Carmelo Anthony lol.
