Interesting, seems like most of the leagues best defenses allow few assists, but then there’s the leagues best defense by defensive rating in Memphis closer to the opposite extreme.

That passes the eye test too. A lot of games I’m just left there admiring the other teams shotmaking over are defense. We don’t give up a lot of easy looks.

The people at r/dataisbeautiful would rip this apart – the y axis starting there makes the disparity seem MUCH greater. Looks like the Celtics are only like 15% of the worst team

That’s pretty remarkable too considering our defense has struggled

Its on purpose, we can switch everything and generally have high defensive IQ/rotations so a lot of teams will just resort to iso ball. One of the perks of a switching defense that doesn’t have a true weak point.
