A g league squad is scoring 100 points a game in this "defensive" era

[Bronbron23]

With D'Angelo Russell out the Golden State warriors are basically a g league squad. They put up 100 points against both the Celtics and the pels. How can this happen if this era's defence is as good as people claim?

It’s because of pace.

Skill overcomes defense

This era has SKILLED scorers and skilled ATHLETES

Warriors gimmick offense. They aren't winning games cause of lack of superstars.

They're 2-12 and barely reached 100. Pelicans also give up 120 a game.

Defense straight up does not exist in this era other than championship level teams like the Raps.

Who the hell is claiming this is a defensive era :lol

Wrong LA team.

I am sure 90% of ISH only watch box scores.

The pace in the league right now its higher than I have ever seen since I started watching in 2004.

This weekend I tuned in to the first half of Clipps v Hawks my god the back and forth is insane.

So instead of comparing how many points are scored a game to call this a "no defense"era , maybe compare the ammount of shots taken compared to the 90s and then the fg% to get a more accurate image.

Harden literally goes 16-40 and shit but still scores 40 points. Is the defense bad or is it shameless chucking?
