Interesting stats.

Ironically, the defensive efficiency of Miller, Matthews, Batum and Wallace plus Aldridge is terrible. 108+? Not good. But on offense, it rated just plain silly. 121+? Yikes! That differential is what put them on the list.

And those guys are our best defenders too.

I wouldn't say that.

The defense is weakest at the main cogs. PG and Center; Andre and LMA.

Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.

It's also undersized

especially up front.

Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!

Wierd.

How much of that has to do with Wallace being new you think? Defense requires more coordination…#justguessing

Even more impressive

Most the minutes this unit has played against has been top NBA teams

No one in the world can beat me at RBI baseball 3(nes).

I'm actually surprised we've had a unit that have played 200 minutes together

That is our second most-used lineup after Miller-Matthews-Batum-Aldridge-Camby.

I'm noticing how much higher Dallas is in efficiency than everybody else

Everybody seems to think they’re the most vulnerable team, I guess because they have less star power, but this suggests they are cold-blooded assassins.
