[KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

Posted similar data before the first Miami game. Part of the reason I shrug off most of "the defense is the same" posts here.
HOWEVER, defensive rebounding was horrible in Miami and yeah that final shot stunk but we gave up way too many second chances after we took that 7 point lead, it was like they got 3 shots on every possession.

Hand in the face of a player how many inches taller, or how much quicker though? I'd be interested to see the matchups. The Kings have been running more smaller guard units again this season. Size matters when you are expected to run out to the perimeter and attack spot shooters or if you are defending a bigger shooter 1 on 1 and rather than attacking the dribble you play it straight up and contest. Herro easily got pull up looks over Davion when he was on him.
To be clear the chart is actually not about the contested 3s.
That chart shows our opponents are hitting wide open threes 10% higher than the next team below them. Prior to the first Miami game, teams were hitting open 3s 20% higher than the league average in the 2021-2022 season. By rough guess it looks like it's down to 55% now, while the league average is around 40%. On open looks. We are giving up 5 fewer than the next team over (one of which is only seeing those looks fall at 35%).
This despite the fact the team was giving up the lowest amount of uncontested 3pt attempts in the league which you think would indicate less chances to "get hot".
