Makes sense. Super low volume and they're wide open corner threes. The good shooters on the team shoot a higher volume and higher difficulty.
C'mon, son. A ball handling, probing PG is just naturally a better fit alongside a jumpshooting big than a Microwave type player. Patty is better suited alongside players like Diaw and Lee.Quite a ways off from his percentage being in the "toilet" without Rique and him hitting everything including "horse" shots when he's in bc he's hislucky charm

Umm. Not sure how to break this to you, but 44% vs 49% is a massive gulf. 44% is not a very good percentage to shoot and what's even crazier is that with TP not only is % a lot higher but its on much larger sample size as well.Quite a ways off from his percentage being in the "toilet" without Rique and him hitting everything including "horse" shots when he's in bc he's his
Except they don't. In the clutch Tp leads the team in %. The fact it's a small sample (will be for everyone in that situation) doesn't mean he should be making them
Bobo is a player this team is dearly missing this year. While last year Bobo wasn't great, during his time here he gave the Spurs an added dimension with a big that could penetrate/dribble-drive and kick the ball out. Kinda wish he continued to suck with Utah so maybe they'd buy him out and he could return to SA.
Has nothing to do with MVPaddy. Not sure why he's always on your mind. Re-read the guys post. Dude literally calls him LMA' s lucky charm.
Those early season games seem like a long time ago. It seems like Tony/LMA played their best combined game tonight. Gotta hope they can both stay healthy and build on tonight for the rest of the season.
Of course they shoot more. If you really think guys like Green or Kawhi don't have significantly more than 12 attempts in those situations, I don't know what to tell you.Except they don't.

Nah, those two games against TOR/DEN were clearly their best; they combined to either score or assist on half the Spurs' points in those games.
Wasn't the prettiest game, but the Spurs continue to find ways to win close games. They execute well and turn on the defense when they need too. That's something that will help us in the playoffs as almost every game 2nd round going forward is going to be a close/grind it out game.
Diaw has been done since 2014 son, tbh. No thanks
His post was hyperbole. The percentages show an improvement. They don't show the hyperbole he was spewing.
He's looked good with Utah after a poor start iirc. Wouldn't want him for $8mil, but he'd be a lot better than Joel Anthony.
Has everything to do with
You guys want him starting for some stupid ass reason, so you look for anything to prove he'd be a better fit with the starters. The lucky charm description was a bit overboard, but his perception was correct. LMA is more compatible with Tony than House. Tony is also more compatible with Green.
I have to wonder Pop closing games with Patty with any combo of Tony or Manu, etc.
It would make me think Patty would be a priority for Pop in the offseason.
As much as I used to like Boris he fell off last season and has continued that free fall pretty bad in Utah. I haven't watched. Ugh if him but he's one of Utahs worst guys this season.
The Spurs wouldn't have won the '14 Championship without Boris. He got his new contract that offseason, and went into semi-retirement. He and West were a disaster last year, but I think his numbers were even worse in '15. I like Boris and what he brought to the Spurs, but it really looked like he got his ring and his walking around money and started his retirement countdown.
I will pass on boris at this point as well. He is close to being put out to the pasture.
Yupz, the FG shooting percentage says it all, LMA is a role player level without TP, and all star level player alongside him.
Don't forget that we got rights to Olivier Hanlan when we sent Boris to Utah. So we got that going for us.
Grit. Grind. Spurs.
Next!
Good to finally get a W against this team.
Never in doubt tbh
maybe this will be good for the Spurs championship aspirations. obviously riding a 20 game win streak into the playoffs didn't work, and obviously having an insane point differential didn't work (last year) so maybe all of this battle testing, close games is the better route to go???
Yeah I have no doubt that he still enjoys playing basketball, but I think after ringing he doesn't care enough to stay in shape and be a legit contributor to anyone anymore.
