I think the point is that shot blocking is a part of defense and defensive teams win in the playoffs but it is only part. Last year the final four teams were 4th, 5th, 13th, & 14th.
There have been an average of 15.7 blocked shots per game in these playoffs. Last year it was 16.6. The year before it was 16. This is actually the lowest shot-blocking total we’ve had in three years.
Shot blocking isn't a new thing it's just that one of the league's marquee teams is very good at it/makes it part of their game which results in announcers harping on it combined with defensive oriented teams (or very good goalies) left in the playoffs results in this narrative
