Here are the defensive ratings of teams through the 04/07/17 when you last played a game with all players.

Defensive Ratings through 04/07/17

10th Place--OKC-105.2
13th Place--HOU-105.9
Difference-0.7

We can even exclude that game (which was not a coasting game), and look at after they finished the previous game.

Defensive Ratings through 04/05/17

10th Place--DET-105.2
13th Place--HOU-105.8
Difference-0.6

Or how about after the game before, to see if that is where the 0.3 difference is?

Defensive Rating through 04/02/17

10th Place--DET-105.2
16th Place--HOU-106.0
Difference-0.8

. But he's gonna judge them based on games at season end when they were just getting rested up for the playoffs. don't be a such an idiot and you won't get called out.
Well I may be an idiot, but I'm smart enough to know that none of those numbers are 0.3.

With 3 games left in the season they were .3 points from being top 10.
Just so you don't have to bother clicking links, here are the defensive ratings with 3 games remaining for Clutch City. I even highlighted the figures and placements to help you with the complicated math.



And just in case the math is too complicated 105.9 - 105.2 = 0.7

My link says .3. And whether it's .3 or .7 doesn't matter. It's surely not 2.5.

and him using a number that includes games when they were sitting multiple players to get playoff ready over a number that doesn't include sitting 3+ rotation players is the prime example of why he's a horrible horrible poster. All he has to go by is a number bc he doesn't watch the games or have the want or ability to dig deeper and see why the numbers are what they are.

This is where someone points out you didn't even watch game 6 of the spurs series. Hmmm.

Well your links make no sense.

Your site has their year end efficiency 1.1 points behind 10th place with 104.1 pace.

Basketball reference has them 1.5 points behind 10th place with a 100.0 pace.

NBA.com has them 1.3 points behind 10th place with a 102.5 pace.

And pulling all of the possessions for the entire season, dividing by 5, then dividing by 82, they actually had 100.3 possessions per game. All Possessions

So basketball reference seems to be the closest, and your site seems to be way off. So of course you would choose that one.

.3 v .7 isn't really important.

What's important is that you give more weight to a sample that Includes the games after they shut it down for the reg season than the one that doesn't.

I was referring to the entire season, but it was actually 1.5 (I edited my post), but it's 2 when you adjust for SOS.

2016-2017 NBA Team Ratings

Either way, your defense got worse as the season progressed, and it would take some clear improvements to get to the top 10. And that was with your best player, logging the 3rd most minutes in the NBA, and Ariza logging the 11th most.

Other teams actually coasted, and didn't put those minutes on their top players, so their playoff team should naturally be better than their regular season team.

You are the guy who says the best offense in the NFL is the one who is first place at seasons ends when we got a team who sits its MVP qb the last two weeks and gets jumped by 1 yard after the last game.

Whether or not the defense got worse or better is irrelevant when we are talking about where they were for the whole season when the last meaningful game was played.

But your team didn't shut it down. Harden played the final 3 games, Ariza played in 2 of those games, and Gordon played in 2 of those games.

Why would you put a 100 extra minutes on your best player's workload, right before the playoffs, if they were trying to coast? And it would have been more if they weren't getting beat by 23 minutes halfway through the 3rd quarter in the game he played the fewest minutes.

But that's the the thing: your MVP candidate didn't sit the last 3 games. He played almost 100 minutes, and got pulled during a blowout or it would have been more. That's the complete opposite of what you're describing.

But the defense did get worse, even excluding your asinine designation of meaningless games.
