Yesterday's defense. Perimeter defense is our second biggest problem.
Easy for fans to make Reed and Alpi scapegoats but they're putting more effort than players whose primary role is defense. Ime couldn't even instill a defensive identity in players who are supposed to have one
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played 20+ minutes and had a positive BPM in every game he's played this season.
The top 10 in percentage of games played this season in which a player hit both those marks*:
1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (100%)
2. Nikola Jokić (96.4%)
3. Tyrese Maxey (92%)
4. Alperen Şengün (87.5%)
5. Luka Dončić and Mikal Bridges (85.7%)
7. Kristaps Porziņģis (84.6%)
8. Donovan Mitchell (81.5%)
9. Isaiah Hartenstein (81.0%)
10. Deni Avdija (79.3%)
*minimum 10 games and 200 minutes played
Yesterday, Nikola Jokic against Alperen Sengun's defense: 5/13 (38% FG) and 3 TOV
That's his floor. Even on a day when he's not playing well, he makes a big difference in the area that probably has the most impact on the game
