Episode notes
Top Teams
- Six teams are currently top-10 in both offensive and defensive rating.
- This is unusual and likely due to a top-heavy league and slow starts for some strong teams.
Jokic's Offense
- Nikola Jokic's offensive rating is historically high, currently at 127.
- This is likely to regress but could still set a new record.
LeBron's On-Off
- LeBron James' on-off splits are stark, with opponents shooting much better from three when he's on the court.
- His offensive struggles are a bigger concern than his defense.
