You would think they are the exact same thing? Don’t know how that works out.

Net ratings are per 100 possession and point differentials are per game. Every team has a different pace so it can differ but not that much.

Btw I was incredibly high on this Cavs team as you can see here http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?499306-Cleveland-Cavaliers-are-the-best-team-in-the-NBA-this-year but Ricky Rubio torn his ACL and he was very important for them so that sucks. I really thought they could make the finals or even win the title.

They're basically the Knicks last year, very good defensively but mediocore on offense and will get exposed in the playoffs without a superstar.

Mobley will be a superstar soon. Probably won't work out this year though.

Knicks were great defensively but terrible offensively. Cavs this year has been a top 3 defense but also decent offensively. 12th in the league and they had the hardest schedule so far. They also blow out easy opponents. So no, that is not a good comparison.

Yup. Rubio was a huge, huge loss. One of the leaders and spirit of the team.

Now Kevin Freaking Pangos is backup PG.
