Season so far plot
Plot explanation
Offensive and defensive ratings are the estimated number of points teams score and allow per 100 possessions. Horizontal and vertical lines are league averages. Diagonal bands reflect net ratings, which are offensive ratings minus defensive ratings. The green dot-dash line is a net rating of +10, green dotted +5, red dotted -5, and red dot-dash -10).
On the pods I listen to a lot of people like the Clippers. Why’d they have such a mid February? Is that all Zubac’s absence due to injury?
Hornets’ defence had a good month. Meanwhile the weakest 4 teams is not what one might expect based on reputation: Raptors (used to be a solid D franchise - no longer), Knicks and Sixers (injuries), and Jazz (why are they tied with Raptors for last?)
