My explanation would be that they destroyed teams so early on that they stopped playing towards the end of games and let up more points than they normally would. Without RW they have more close games.

Why does it sound dumb? If you are blowing out a team early and take your foot off the pedal the opposing team is going to be more efficient aren't they?

With Russ, they dont play a lot of close games and backups play more often. And give up more points, duh.
Without him, they have to work and play closer games.
Simple.

This is why it's stupid....
RW minutes by game:
33-33-30-30-35-34-38-32-32-41-31-31-30-34-32-35-28-31-33-36-28-35-35-30
Only once under 30 minutes and aside from the OT games he played between 32-35 minutes every game. Unless it's a complete blowout NBA teams play their players into the 4th, so your theory is never going to be true. Maybe a team rests it's stars the whole 4th .....4? 5? times a year. Teams stick to their rotations because everyone makes a run, unless you're the Bucks.

It is when you're arguing the point you're trying to make....everything always averages out, which is why Heywards point makes no sense.
As for the draft...there's no wrong #1 this year...I would have no issues with Parker, Wiggins, Embid or Exum going #1. Anyone with a top 6-7 pick will be happy...it's a big drop after that (depending on who enters the draft) but a ton of rotation guys in this draft.
Love Kyle Anderson....someone with a late lotto pick/post lotto is going to get a stud when they draft him.

Mcgary? He's injured....should've came out last year...just like MacAdoo, he was a top 10 pick after his freshman year and now he's an afterthought.

Not a big time athlete, not sure if he can play PG in the NBA, not a good enough shooter to play to the 2/3, weak division. There are plenty of legit question marks about him but IF he can play PG in the NBA, watch out....his stock will rise as the year goes on, won't crack the top 10 though. The top part of the draft is just to loaded, especially if guys like Gordon, Vonleh, Stein, Grant, Harris, etc come out. A normal year and he's a top 10-13 pick.

Looked clean to me!!!
This is exactly what is wrong with the NBA. There is an official looking right at the shove and nothing gets called. It's because it's Durant and not some regular player. The league caters to the superstar players.

It isn't just this blatant missed call. This type of missed call happens with regularity in the league.
And DMC was getting ready to move back and that is why KD pushed him back a few feet.
It was definitely a push off but not the worst one ever not called. The nba is a great product and the massively increased revenues are evident of that. The game hasn't been this popular in a long time and now we might see the reincarnation of Bird vs. Magic in the next few years.
