re: A current all-NBA team would wreck the dream team

Cant even believe im allowing this to be about Deandre Jordan, but the clippers are giving up 100 pts per game, 19th out of 30 teams. Their DRating is 16th best in the league. Wonder when the last time a DPOY team has been so shitty at defense? Good to see his coaches and teammates back him as DPOY, though.

quote:
Demarcus Cousins is averaging 28/11 this year vs Deandre Jordan and the Clippers

AD threw up 26 vs him on 60% shooting

Drummond averages 18/13

Nik Vucevic 19/14


Let's add on to this

Marc Gasol = 18/9 on 58% FG in 3 games
Tim Duncan= 18/11 on 59% in 4 games
Robin Lopez= 15/7 on 69% FG in 2 games
Jonas Valanciunas= 13/9 on 59% FG in 2 games

Jordan is giving up a FG% of nearly 50% at the rim

For comparison's sake

Both Gasols, AD, Cousins, Robin Lopez, Mozgov, Tim Duncan, Taj Gibson, Enes Kanter, Nerlens, Hassan Whiteside, Big Jonas, Dwight Howard, Hibbert, etc all are limiting players at the rim better than Jordan

To take it a step further, true defensive stalwarts like Serge Ibaka gives up 41% at the rim. A guy like Bogut and Rudy Gobert are limiting the opposition at sub 40% at the rim



So Jordan is getting abused by any center worth a frick in the NBA this season, and isnt near the top of defenders at the rim in terms of opponents FG%.
