Gotta agree with iwen on this one. I'd value a 1-17 defensive effort way more over a 0-8 defensive effort. Both are good but the 1-17 has essentially stopped twice the amount of scoring attempts as the 0-8 defense and especially when you average it out, is much harder to do.

You forgot to mention that Baxter injured my starting SF, Zuras 2 minutes in to the game! Ended up being a game changer that one :/

......i don't even know if i'm meant to be replying to these threads, there are so many spammers around that seem to leave these threads alone so if i'm wrong, just let me know and i'll delete it.


Yes we always try to keep the MVP and ladder threads spam free so that people can actually find the information they are looking for so please do remove the post.

You may not know it but I'll just remind everyone that we have an official appeals process and I would encourage anyone who disagrees with the MVP decisions to put your money where your mouth is and appeal the decision. C-Cat loves toying with you like a cat with a mouse.

Still got a great opportunity for someone to be the co-commisioner of the East.

Isn't defence essentially about stopping the other team from scoring, so in essence, isn't the player that lets less points through the more valued player? Sure the other guy stopped 16 shots but he let 1 shot through, where as the guy that stopped 8 shots was able to stop 100% of the shots and didn't let any points through.

If you want to get really technical, you could look at the players averages. Most players should at least 30% from the field at their low point so keeping an opponent to about 5% shooting is more impressive considering the larger comparison scale.

what you guys are thinking is the rate by accounting the number of attempts. what u got wrong is u assume that who ever can't score with 8 attempts will get 1 in if he attempts 17. thats not correct. if the defense is good, even if the opponent tried 17 attempts, he wouldnt score a single point. so the rate of 0/8 <> 1/17. if u do the maths, the rate of 0/8 is not even possible hahaha.

I don't think this can be taken out of context. It needs to be applied in context in order to be "better or worse".

If a player shoots 1-17, yet his team mates are shooting well, then it's more beneficial than 0-8 and vice versa.

If there were unlimited shots taken, then it wouldn't matter how many shots he missed, keeping a guy -08 will be better than 1-17 (purely because he scores 0 points compared to 2). But given there are only a limited number of shots available in a game, keeping someone to 1-17 shooting is more beneficial than 0-8, purely because if he shoots it 17 times, that's 9 shots he has missed that someone else could've taken. Or, as iwen pointed out, that's 9 more 'empty' possessions.
