Summary

Our bi-weekly look at the West! LAL and DEN: The Nuggets continued their dominance over the Lakers, and LA has a transition defense problem. DAL: The Mavs don’t have great defensive personnel up and down, but the numbers show how they contain the ball to get a top-10 defense. 21:01 HOU: Alperen Sengun is an indicator of how well Houston’s defensive system is working. 28:23 GSW: Where the Warriors will miss De’Anthony Melton the most, plus Draymond at C or PF? 36:22 SAS: The Spurs are over .500! 43:34 LAC: The Clippers are elite at defending the paint, even with James Harden’s defensive difficulties. 48:41 OKC: The Thunder defense has held up even without any centers. 54:53 MEM: Jaren Jackson, Jr’s individual defensive numbers have fallen, but the Grizz are still right where they want to be. 1:03:25 PHX: Mike Budenholzer is playing very conservative defense with his centers. 1:10:23 UTA: Cody Williams’ extremely low usage so far. 1:14:04 MIN: Anthony Edwards is having a historically good shooting season. Why hasn’t it translated into great team offense? 1:21:29 SAC: There’s only one ball in Sacramento, so how have the Kings’ stars adjusted? 1:29:16 NOP: Yves Missi is the one player worth looking at for New Orleans so far. 1:37:08 POR: Shaedon Sharpe and Robert Williams have made the Blazers respectable–as has the absence of Deandre Ayton. 1:46:07

0:18.8	We got a lot to get through, Danny.
0:20.8	Let's begin with the Lakers and Denver game.
0:25.0	You know, I have this kind of nagging feeling in the back of my mind that maybe the Lakers don't match up too well at the Nuggets.
0:31.3	It was wild how in certain ways this paralleled their last playoff series.
0:35.8	For those who didn't watch the Nuggets played a little,
0:39.6	they were a little bit flat. I also thought the Lakers played well in the first half. This is just
0:42.6	the bird's eye view. We'll talk to more detail. And then the Nuggets came back, had this just
0:47.8	ridiculous third quarter, and were able to, were able to really put the pedal to the medal,
0:53.5	it was 3715 Nug nuggets in the third, and then
0:56.5	they had a comfortable win.
0:57.8	And yeah, they don't match up particularly well.
1:00.2	But let's start this with the Lakers stats.

1:08.8	It is the L.A. Clippers.
1:10.5	10 and 6, 5 and 2, since we last checked on them. A couple of disappointing losses. First, they got beat by Franz Wagner on that crazy 3. And then, of course, getting blown out here by the Nuggets. So despite being 10 and 6, they actually have a negative 0.3 net writing, losing by 25 to the Nuggets.
