That's like an all-star game score. Perhaps I missed a memo. Has Adam outlawed defense? The "Heat" haven't played a lick in over a month. The "Clippers" have Kawhi Leonard, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. Still Philly shot 50.5% (48.8% long). You are not allowed to win when your opponent shoots that well. I'm pretty sure that's a rule. The "Clippers" shot even better, 59.2% and 54.2%.
Seriously, maybe playing stickum D is just too hard over 82 games? LAC is an elite team, Philly and Miami are good. This isn't Cleveland and Golden State. Let's look at another game, Cows at Beans last night. 111-110 in OT. Two evenly matched teams, obviously, Cows now 39-20, Beans now 41-18. Much lower scoring game than LAC-Phila, even in OT. Team shooting percentages have to be lower. And they were. Jesus. Cows, the winners, 41.8% (27.3%), double Jesus; Beans 39% (31%). I guess I didn't miss a memo. Or if I did Cows and Beans missed it too.
