the x axis is 3pt rate as a percentage of total shots (how many threes vs twos), not 3pt accuracy. the y axis is showing efficiency per possession when a 3 is attempted by the opponent
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:32 (six months ago) link
actually sorry i’m wrong about the y axis it’s just showing overall halfcourt defensive efficiency. just a basic measure of 3pt volume by opponent vs defensive efficiency
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 1 March 2024 23:34 (six months ago) link
the bulls letting opponents get up a three on 46% of possessions is still insane, but their half court defense ranks in the top 12-15 or so in the league

Lol, gotcha. That upper/upper left has some terrible teams. Is IND because of their terrible D in the first half of the season or did they get better?

feel like the bad teams might be giving up fewer threes cause their opponents just dunk instead
― lag∞n, Friday, 1 March 2024 23:48 (six months ago) link
yeah i feel like there’s some correlation/causation amiss with this
― call all destroyer, Friday, 1 March 2024 23:55 (six months ago) link
theyre also fast teams so transition leads to more dunks fewer threes too
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:04 (six months ago) link
as far as the question is giving up threes good its prob a devils in the details sort of thing thing, like the celtics give up a fair amount of threes but not very many of them are from the corners, and good defenses will be better at understanding which players to let shoot and so forth
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:10 (six months ago) link
you also don't need to take a bunch of threes when you are up by 25 points the whole game xp
― Clay, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:10 (six months ago) link
if you can keep yr opponent out of the paint yr preventing the best threes which are drive and kicks out of a collapsed defense, so maybe playing off shooters a little bit is good you keep them out of the paint and dare them to shoot which leads to quasi contested threes off of swing passes, mediocre threes if you will, the sort of shots when your team takes them youre like feel like they couldve got something better
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 March 2024 00:15 (six months ago) link
memphis is already famously in the east they should let the lEast have them just as a treat
When they expand two more teams, if they're in the west (i.e. Vegas and Seattle) I'd imagine it's an easy decision to move Memphis to the eastern conference and kill a couple birds with a stone there. However, the NBA isn't one for making logical decisions like this so I'm not holding my breath.

would be interesting to dive deeper into that data and see if specific teams with extreme good d/bad o splits skew for particular years. i looked at the replies to the tweet and didn't say anything that spoke to that but did come across this amazing picture:

Free Throw Attempts before and after Jan 31,2024You can see a sharp drop in offense after Jan 31, the main reason is due to less FTs i.e. shooting fouls not being calledAll except 2 teams (CHI, HOU) have lower FTA after Jan 31 than beforeLargest drops: PHI,NYK,NOP,BOS,MIL pic.twitter.com/t3cEf5yk4D— Sravan (@SravanNBA) March 11, 2024

sixers and knicks big drops prob mostly due to injuries, celtics are being persecuted tho, they dont even get to the line that much in the first place its unfair

I actually think league pass is a net negative for the NBA. Too much access to games has made games carry less weight/meaning. I think if you’re going to have league pass it should be very expensive except for maybe one or two days a week.— Nate Jones (@JonesOnTheNBA) March 19, 2024

tim macmahon made a good point on the hoop collective pod today about how the four highly drafted ignite players -- jalen green, kuminga, dyson daniels, and scoot -- were all really raw when they came into the league, as if no development at all had happened between high school and the NBA
