Last season’s Golden State Warriors, arguably the greatest offensive team in NBA history, had an offensive rating of 115.01. Now, what if I told you that a combination of Mike Conley and Mario Chalmers not only had a better offensive rating (points per 100 possessions) than the 73-win Warriors, but led a unit with a net rating (offensive rating minus defensive rating) 6.7 points higher? Would you call me crazy?
In all honesty, I’d expect you to.
However, the numbers from NBAwowy.com don’t lie. Of teams sending two point guards onto the court together at the same time, Conley and Chalmers put up staggering numbers together.
