This vid isnt gonna age well IMO Brooklyns defense wasnt the main issue this season. Their defense has problems most def but they have bigger problems
Wonder if Elgee will talk about the Warriors offense lately? But that would mean making a negative vid about the team/Steph so prolly not
So, I've now noticed a couple people responding to this video who seem to be saying "Pfft, DRtg doesn't look bad!", and I think it's important to understand that what he's talking about here starts with that as the baseline, and from there talks about the concerns he has.
So then, what he's essentially saying is that if the Nets don't show improvement in how they are playing defense, we should expect both that the DRtg will get worse over the course of the season and that the defense will be severely exploited by quality offenses particularly in the playoffs.
If that isn't what happens, then the video will age poorly - though even then, it won't necessarily mean he was wrong in what he was seeing. It may just mean that the Nets play better defense later in the year.
Re: implied bias for Steph. Just remember that he's not getting paid to be a fan. He's trying to be give correct insight and to the extent a bias hurts his ability to do this, that hurts his bottom line. He can be wrong, he can have uncorrected biases, but he doesn't have a secret agenda to make Steph look good, because it would be bad business for him to work that way.
