The Warriors play zone 10.3% of the time, followed by the Bobcats (9.3%) and Raptors (7.5%), according to Synergy Sports, which tracks every NBA play and provides in-depth statistical analysis.

The Hawks face zone defenses the most, on 9.2% of their possessions, followed by the Heat (8.8%), Bobcats (8.3%) and Thunder (7.5%).

It's no coincidence the Heat and Thunder face zones.

"Those might be the two most athletic teams," TNT analyst Steve Kerr said.

I'm not sure what this means for us for the game or if its important but I thought I would post it.

I'd sure as hell play zone against this Blazers team.

Ditto.

No true zone busters on this team.

I bet that 7% goes up to 90% tonight with the way the Blazers are building brick houses.

Not only is there not a zone buster, but there also probably isn't a Camby to go high/low with.

We need to play Crawford and Batum big minutes, they can hit open threes. I wish we had Patty on this team, his best skill was the long ball.
