Live and die from 3point land

Once again, Im proving correct. Had we made half of our 3s against Denver, we would now be on a major winning streak. We make half our 3s we win, we dont make half our 3s we lose. Even with Manu and TP on the court.

You mean proven huh? Nice, Mr. Obvious. How about you leave starting threads to people like duncan228, timvp, and sequ?

Wow, you mean if you make shots you win basketball games?

Stunning revelation from one of our posters here at *ST. I bet if we hit 80% of our FGs, we'd win a lot of games too!

The Spurs do not force a lot of threes. The system in which they run their offense (through Duncan) means they get a lot of 3 point attempts. I agree it depends on whether or not those shots fall, but it has always been that way. For the most part, the Spurs always get decent looks throughout a game.

Sometimes the shots fall, sometimes they do not. In the years when the Spurs win chips, the shots fall. When they do not win, it is because most of the time shots that should be made do not go in. Sometimes the offense sputters, but that is mainly because guys like Fin, Udoka, ... do not make their open looks.

The Spurs have an inside game with Duncan, slashers with Manu and TP and outside shooters with the rest. That is good offense. It is the ball movement and the presence of Tim that gives the Spurs looks. They need to be taking those open shots and hitting them, which they do for the most part in championship years.

Combine that with solid defense, then you get rings.

the only thing that this thread proves is that Pop's offense works.
