ball hits OG Ananobi or Mikhail Bridges or Josh Hart or Jose Alvarado or it doesn't even matter and they're just canning that three as you like desperate try to recover and close out and so all that is to say the Spurs made it here in spite of that because they were one of the greatest defenses we've ever seen in the playoffs like chew on that for a second Victor Wemenyama almost by himself
makes them one of the greatest defenses we've ever seen in the playoffs.
So my stat for you, Cody, got a couple more.
But my stat for you is, do you know the 2004 Pistons relative defensive rating in the playoffs with Ben Wallace way back in the day?
He played almost 1,000 playoff minutes in their run.
The raw defensive rating, as we've talked about so many times, was 89.7.
They gave up 89.7 points per 100.
Do you know what they held their opponents below their regular season offensive ratings by?
Do you know what that number is?
Okay.
They held their opponents with Ben Wallace on the floor, 14 points better in the 2004 playoffs.
And that's, I haven't, I haven't checked.
I haven't done a thorough run through before today's show, but let's just assume that that's the best we have on record.
Cause that, that is just an absolutely ridiculous number, certainly from the post bill Russell years and things like that.
Um, now, um,
The question is, what did the Spurs hold their opponents?
How much did they hold their opponents below their regular season offensive numbers in these playoffs with Victor Weminyama on the court?
Yes, when he was on the court, when Victor Weminyama played 750 minutes in the playoffs this year.
What was the Spurs' relative defensive rating?
How much did they hold their opponents below their regular season offensive efficiencies?
