Does anyone know where I can find stats such as

Team's offensive rating vs. Top 10 defensive rating?

I saw a post in a Celtics forum saying
Celtics offensive rating vs. top 10 defense (2nd)
Raptors offensive rating vs. top 10 defense (22nd)

Didn't provide source and it looks like BS but maybe someone knows where to find these?

I think you're thinking of this the wrong way. One of the major holdups with players feeling comfortable with the "bubble" idea was the need for attention on racial justice. While the point of the NBA restart originally was to be a focus on emphasize for a need for change.

Nobody thinks BOS/TOR boycotting game 1 is going to create 'change,' but it will certainly bring some attention to it. Additionally, those with greater resources to create change (owners, Adam Silver, the NBA as a whole) would be motivated to assist/put specific things in place if their own business interests are threatened without it.

What do you mean by that?

If you're talking about the corporations, if the players boycott games, then companies that make billions off of games, will experience losses financially. These company executives aren't personally close with federal legislators, but most of them do boast their own lobbying arms. The minute they feel the pain of massively losing income to their revenue streams, there will be immediate pressure applied to those legislators.

Could it work? May or may not. I do admire the fact some players are willing to undertake financial losses in order to leverage the only thing that they have at their disposal.

There is clear value in raising awareness and national media attention.

Ok, so they dont play tomorrow, businesses make forced moves to accommodate their athletes, release some speech to please cancel culture, etc....

Now everyone gets to see “wow, so many woke people”

Will cancel culture go boycott work for change now? :lol:
