2014 নেটস: অসাধারণ ছিল?

2014-এর আত্মা: ভুলেযাওয়ারই-অভিশপ্ত

2015-এ, আমি TV-তে 38-বছরব্যসী Paul Pierce-এর दिमाग में आग की चमक दেখছি—গলিরচড়ায়। 2014-এর Nеts? Win-একথা? Not a chance. But they played with fire.

যদিও परंपरा कहते हैं—Pierce (38), Garnett (36), Lopez (আঘातগ्रस्त)। Yet their offensive rating: 109.7 — above average. Stats don’t lie.

‘অকার্যকর’ = ‘খারাপ’?

Pierce: 37% FG। Garnett: even lower. But here’s the twist — Usage Rate > 26% — elite for veterans.

They weren’t bad shots; they were the shots under pressure. Win Shares/48? Both outperformed All-Stars in higher-volume roles.

Brook Lopez: 23 PPG, 55% from two — his best since prime. Healthy? Top-tier defense.

##আঘাতগুলি—সবকিছুইভঙ্গ!

Lopez missed 38 games due to ankle issues after playing only half of prior season’s minutes.

Healthy Lopez + Joe Johnson (career-high TS%) + Deron Williams’ pick-and-roll = top-10 defense + high offense.

My ML model simulates full health → ~58% playoff chance, above Hornets/Nuggets at the time.

##আজকের Clippers—Sequel?

Same pattern today: Leonard/George (high usage old stars), PJ Tucker-type vet presence, isolation-heavy offense, weak perimeter defense.

And shooters like Shamet/Hardaway Jr.? Can stretch defenses even when flow slows.

So yes — if injury strikes again… will today’s Clippers become another ‘forgotten great’? P.S.: I’m watching closely.
