Per possession they are on the floor, Dedmon. Then Aldridge and Kawhi are probably at a tie. Danny is last.
Which player loss would have the biggest impact on Team Defensive Rating?
It seems like some posters are dumbasses.

That's not the question got. Can you ing read?
Dedmon, easy. First, because he's the best defender on the team this year, and second because Kawhi would be replaced by Anderson, who's having the best defensive year of his career. So in a world where you could separate offense from defense (because the O would abysmal with Anderson starting at the three -- as we know), the Spurs would be pretty good defensively. Dedmon doesn't have a suitable replacement.
That's where you ed up already.
I'm talking about real basketball here. Some other people will have to score. Those other players can't conserve their energy on just defense.
Not really. I think the Spurs' DRtg would be just fine with Anderson starting, which is your question. They're offense would suck so bad, though.That's where you ed up already.

Believe me, you don't want to go down the rabbit hole of connecting D to O. That looks worse for Kawhi.
And that's why you don't know about basketball. Someone needs to score. This is the real world. You do need to expend energy on offense. That is a FACT.
No one said anything about not spending energy. If you're trying to push the argument that Kawhi's D has fallen off given his offensively load, I won't argue. But you should go ahead and do that instead of acting like the D hasn't fallen off.And that's why you don't know about basketball. Someone needs to score. This is the real world.

Can a legit argument be made for LMA? He plays a lot more minutes than Dedmon. He's the opposite of Kawhi, his O has fallen off as his D has risen.
I'm talking about the totality of the game.
Where we would be without Kawhi or Dedmon defensively.
I think you can make a pretty good argument that he's been great for the team defensively. But like Kawhi, he's sporting a negative on-off, so I'm not sure. It's possible that Kawhi is dragging LMA's rating down, though. It's can't be overstated how poorly Kawhi's grading out right now. So I'm not sure it tracks with the stats too well.
Does LMA become a more offensive player? Does he play less defense?
Does Porker become a more offensive player? Does he play less defense?
Does having 2 even worse defensive players than they are now impact the team defensive rating?
You see how this goes.
I think the Spurs would be pretty good defensively without Kawhi and pretty shaky without Dedmon. Without both, it would be a struggle.I'm talking about the totality of the game.
Where we would be without Kawhi or Dedmon defensively.
Also, pretty sure you were vehement in your assertion that we were talking about defense only just a little while ago.
That's interesting, thanks. I'm surprised that LMA is a negative. The eye-test says his defense is improved.
He probably does, though his touches don't track with Kawhi's very well. My guess is more Tony, Green and Simmons.
I don't think Parker plays much less defense, and I especially don't think it matters.Does Porker become a more offensive player? Does he play less defense?
It does, but not as much as having no anchor.Does having 2 even worse defensive players than they are now impact the team defensive rating?
I do. You still seem to be trying to figure it out.You see how this goes.
I have always talked about leading his team defensively. Does dedmon get a boost playing vs scrubs during garbage time, or playing a significant time playing vs bench players or that he would have to play with a SF that is defensively challenged player like pau gasol to see how his actual rating would be.
A ton of white noise.
Every starter is a negative, though most are positives without Kawhi. Kawhi's defensive on-offs are the worst on the team by an order of magnitude. I don't think people understand it.
Since you don't say better or worse impact, losing TP might have the biggest effect.
His defense has improved.
this team would be historically good on defense without Porker.
Or resting vs teams.I have always talked about leading his team defensively.

No option for Parker...biased poll.
Thread le specifically says defensive raring and OP later acts like he's talking about "totality"
You still have to play offense dumbass.
Shifting roles has an impact on defensive rating.
But you low IQ cucks don't realize that.
