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

Great story father and son, Arvydas and Domantas Sabonis NBA stars past and present.

Yeah, pretty much certifies Browns love for DHO and probably why it took so long for him to switch up to more pick and roll. The Kings obviously still run it a lot as the stats point out but man, those possessions had to be pried out of his cold hands haha. The pick and roll is and always will be the way to go between the two as a first option play since it is all based around the keeping a live dribble. However it is interesting the way DDR uses the DHO as an iso starter.

BTW, this article shows you how important Doug Christie is. Dude's a big part of the good in Sac.

OK, riddle me this: We're 9th overall in FG% allowed (.459), and we're also 9th overall in 2PT% allowed (.528), but we're **29th** overall in 3PT% allowed (.377)! Teams just take so few 2PTers against us (27th in the league) and so many threes (4th) that the fact that 3PT percentages are lower in general evens things out on FG%.

To show how meaningless FG% allowed is, we are 19th in eFG% allowed (.545). (BBRef does not have opponent TS% but presumably it is similar.) It would appear that it's the fact that we're pretty good at forcing turnovers (11th) and defensive rebounding% (5th) that brings our DRTG up to 13th.
