LOL orlly? What exactly do u call the shitty percentages jordan had vs the knicks, heat and even hawks? Jordans best competition was always on shitty teams or in the playoffs not the finals. Am I really talking to the idiot that talks about the rule changes and how easy it is to score now days? You're the ****ing idiot saying that even though the drtg's are still better from 05-12 than they ever from from 85-98! :lol

There was an article made back in 2006:

And it's about perimeter defense, not overall defense.
So no, DRTG doesn't work here because it's a team stat. Another reason why DRTG is lower is because there are more 3's shot and there are less post up big men comparted to the 80's and 90's.

Then how are we suppsed to use any factual information to determine how good a certain player or team is? Guys on youtube like blackadam always say stuff like 40/50 of Jordans 40 point games are on teams with a top 10drtg? So you're saying we can't use drtg for something like this? This whole theory is moronic because there's a contradiction for every corner of it. The 80's teams had tons of perimiter players that were excellent...The early 90's had less and by the late 90's they were scare. In the late 90's they were scarce despite the fact that the exact rule said you couldn't handcheck excent below the foul line, which you can do now! :facepalm

Dude, simple question:
Is it easier to score today as a perimeter player? Yes or no ?

hell no, the average perimeter defender today would be an all 2nd team defender in jordan's era. Every night, you're guarded by a lebron, kobe, wade, allen, sefolosha, deng, durant, iggy, ginobli, wallace, brewer and the list goes on... who did jordan face, payton once every other month and then a bunch of 6'3 scrubs

Compared to the early 2000's yes but not compared the 80's and 90's. The leagues drtg was at an all time low in the very early 2000's when zones was implemented with somewhat hand checking allowed. The defense was great on the perimiter and inside in the early 2000's. Then in 05 you could still do zone but the rule changes came into effect and the drtg went fairly close back to what it was when you could hand check but not legally play zone. 94-95 specifically had that same hand checking policy as today. Where were the perimiter scorers back then? Also, non perimiter players (mostly powerforwards) started scoring tons more ton. Why? I think a lot of this increase is guys entering their primes...

Then why did the league re-interpret the hand-checking rule two more times in the 2000's? For shit's and giggles?
There also seems to be clear correlation to an increase in scoring for perimeter players, FG% and even with FTA following 05. We also saw guards leading the league with points in the paint around this change as well.
I'ms sure the direction of casualty isn't from players "entering their prime."

I don't get the agenda. His numbers look good. So the big deal is about his FG% in a sample of 5-7 games?

By that logic, the 01 76ers were as a good a defensive team as the 08 Celtics.......:no:
