Fully healthy, the Nuggets offense> Celtics offense. Celtics also turned the ball over at a stupid rate. Nah ain't nobody trying to emulate the Celtics lol.
But defense matters to a degree cuz every team can't outscore the best offensive players in the game. Gotta slow them down. Don't say playing good defense is impossible. Celtics locked the everybody up until they got to Golden State. Golden State just has the greatest shooters in the game and it doesn't help that the NBA did basically make playing great defense on jump shooting teams non-existent
Especially in today's game. But I'll be damned if a team builds their roster to score 120 a game but give up 125. That's not how winning works lol. Golden State is not an example that makes defense "irrelevant". They have Draymond Green and had GPII as well. They play good defense it's just who cares about defense when Steph steals the show every night.
This. They definitely didn't do themselves any favors.
