Statistically Determining Defense

[ItsGoTime]

Ya, I don't know.  Let me play with the "contested shots" a bit.  So far my model really points to defensive production, but there has to be something pointing to engagement.  I watched all 82 games of the Mavs.  I never once thought "get Wood out of there; he's killing our D".  Perhaps I don't know shit, or perhaps Wood was banging Kidd's wife.  Stranger things have happened, like with Nash's ex-wife and Lebron's mom.  Has Kidd ever shown this disdain for another player when he was in BRK or MIL?  Something personal had to have happened.
