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
