There's some defensive rim stuff with them where I think it's not good, but then maybe it's because of the help and all of their athletes because those numbers are actually pretty good that aren't showing up in the overall defensive numbers.

The one thing that I was looking at here was when it comes down to it in a playoff spot, is there something that you're imagining right now as you've watched all these Rockets games? You're like, this is what it's going to look like when they're closing out a tight playoff game that's only a couple points. Because there is a lot of ball stopping with this team.

They're last in average seconds per touch in the NBA. And that actually makes sense, whether it's Jalen probing or Van Vliet trying to find that angle. But a man is going to be taking more and more of those possessions, even though Shingun leads the Rockets in fourth quarter scoring at five, just over five points per game, which is actually only 48th in the NBA.

So is that a team that is actually better than Having somebody be a more defined go-to guy is the depth that we love so much actually hurt them a little bit into whose turn it is at the end of a close game and then ultimately a playoff game. All right, Clippers. This is a great story and another one that I kind of can't believe. Offense 21st, defense 3rd. It probably surprises some people.

Last year, offense 4th, defense 16th. But they're getting torched here in February. Opponents are shooting 41% on threes in this month. The bigger story of the year, at least, is the preseason over-under. They were 35.5 wins. They're 32-26. They're on pace for about 45 wins. They've done a great job. Lawrence Frank and the front office and Ty Lue They do a really good job.

They identified better needs defensively for some of their perimeter matchups, certainly to try to protect Harden there a little bit as well. Zu is one of the most underrated guys in the league. They've done this without Kawhi for 41 games. I think he's looked pretty good in the games where he's played 30-plus minutes.

They're 4-6 in their last 10, but Norm hasn't played since February 13th, so I'm impressed with what they've done. They've exceeded my expectations. They continue to bring in all these players who I cannot stand. And if Ben Simmons had an aggressive and won the other night, congrats to him.
