The NBA won't guard these guys

Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos now, by going to http://ethos.com/BBALL When we talk about gravity in the NBA, we usually mean someone like Stephen Curry warping the floor the second he crosses half court. But what happens when we flip it? Using optical tracking data, I reversed the perimeter gravity rankings, filtered out non-shooting bigs, and raised the minutes threshold to 20 a night. That leaves four players defenses are most comfortable abandoning on the perimeter. The full sag treatment. I’m calling them the Perimeter Pariahs. To see if that lack of gravity actually hurts offense, I narrowed the film study to one consistent lens, the Boston Celtics. Disciplined. Deliberate. Brutal about who they help off. They’ve faced all four of these players recently, including the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, and Houston Rockets. We break down how Boston sagged off Draymond Green and dared him to shoot. How they cross-matched against Josh Hart to clog driving lanes. How Ausar Thompson and Amen Thompson are defended like non-shooters, and why that doesn’t automatically doom the possession. Because here’s the twist. Sometimes an 11-foot cushion kills spacing. Sometimes it creates an advantage. We’ll look at the film, the Offensive Rating on/off numbers, and the rim finishing data to see which teams are solving the problem and which ones are bleeding efficiency. The results might surprise you. #NBA #NBABreakdown #BasketballAnalysis #BostonCeltics #GoldenStateWarriors #NewYorkKnicks #DetroitPistons #HoustonRockets #DraymondGreen #JoshHart #AmenThompson #AusarThompson #PerimeterGravity #NBAFilmStudy #AdvancedStats #OffensiveRating #Spacing #ThreePointShooting For more info on the cool 3D Graphics, visit CoachPaint: https://tracab.chyronhego.com/coach-paint-coach-nick SUBSCRIBE HERE FOR MORE: http://bit.ly/BBallSub MUSIC: Fighting For Freedom by Anno Domini Join our YT Membership for TONS of extra content: https://bit.ly/3rmJwUB ABOUT BBALLBREAKDOWN BBallBreakdown is devoted to deep-dive analysis of NBA basketball gameplay.
