Do San Antonio public schools not teach math?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

This is a serious question. Idk how many comments I've read about how Phoenix shot extremely well against the Spurs and now that their hot shooting isn't continuing that's why they got creamed by LA. Lets look at the numbers you guys seem too stupid to figure out on your own.

The Suns made a total of 156 field goals against the Spurs
The Suns attempted a total of 324 field goals against the Spurs

Maybe your fingers are too fat to operate a calculator correctly, so it's lets note 156/324 = .481, which is equivalent to 48.1%.

Against LA on Monday, Phoenix shot 49.4%. I figured the way you guys constantly point out 4 is a greater number than 0 you would know 49.4 is a greater number than 48.1, but just in case, I'll say it: 49.4 is a greater number than 48.1. In other words, Phoenix actually shot better against LA on Monday than they did against SA over the 4 games. There are plenty of reasons why Phoenix beat SA and won't beat LA, this myth about hot shooting Spurfan is using to make excuses for losing isn't one of them.

[PGDynasty24]

Spurs fans just get butthurt and make up excuses like saying the Suns play was an abberation. Suns dominated the spurs and were a better team. nuff said

[21_Dickings]

For the sake of the argument, can you dig up the TS% stat and compare that?

Example: 4-10 from 3 > 5-10 from 2.

[monosylab1k]

it's almost as bad as lakaluva and reading comprehension :lmao

[BadOdor]

Spur fan can't accept that fact that it wasn't that the suns just "got lucky", it's that when you have bonner playing significant minutes on your team, you're gonna get owned.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Spu fan can't accpet that fact that it wasn't that the suns just "got lucky", it's that when you have bonner playing significant minutes on your team, you're gonna get owned.


This is basically what they're saying:

The fact Odom is capable of defending Frye way better than Bonner is irrelevant. Frye making wide open 3's Bonner was too slow to contest was a fluke that would only happen against the Spurs!

[monosylab1k]

Spur Fan is just lucky that Dallas is Dallas. They never should have had the privilege of getting their shit pushed in by PHX. They were a shitty 7th seed that managed to beat a superior team prone to choking. Having an asshole moron of a coach didn't help things.

[21_Dickings]

TS for the respective series so far:

PHX TS%

Game 1: 605
Game 2: 575
Game 3: 636
Game 4: 573

Game 1 of the WCF: 575

Sup Findog.

So with a TS% as low as or lower than game 1, the Suns still managed to beat the Spurs in both games. Yep, the Spurs just got unlucky.

Spurs didn't get unlucky. Only butthurt Spurs fans spin that bullshit.

Their defense was fine in that series. But with Manu, Hill, and Duncan playing below average, they just couldn't manufacture enough offense like they could in the past.

Back then, even when the Spurs were a top defensive team, they would still give up 110-115 to the Suns, but score 120-125 themselves.

[21_Blessings]

Texas education :lmao

[Trainwreck2100]

Son you don't need math to prove your point, it's pretty simple actually. Spurs/Suns game 1. Suns had 102 points, Suns/Lakers game 1 suns had 102 points. The Lakers just didn't miss layups or wide open 3 pointers like the Spurs did against that vaunted Suns defense

Timely 3pt shots by the Suns after missed Spur FT. That was the case the whole series.

Spurs up by 15, miss two free throws and the Suns hit a 3. 12pt game.
Spurs miss two more free throws Pheonix hits a 3. 9pt game.
Spurs miss a shot, Phoenix hits a jumper. 7 pt game.
Spurs hit 1 of 2 FT, Phoenix hits a 3, 5 pt game.
Spurs miss a shot, Phoenix gets 3 offensive rebounds and hits a 3.

Saw that happen on several occasions. Spurs fucked themselves really. Incompetence at the free throw line on the defensive glass, and feeling sorry for themselves because they couldn't hit free throws caused shitty defense.

Phoenix hit their open 3's vs the Spurs. Against the Lakers didn't make nearly as many open 3's.

[Shastafarian]

Phoenix shot 46% from three against San Antonio's 35%. Phoenix shot 22% from 3 against LA's 47%. Is that enough math for you SANDinVAGINA? Talk about being butthurt. Two threads about the Spurs in the NBA Forum?

[mingus]

Spurs sucked in many ways, allowing high fg% included. they lacked the defense and offense in that series.

rarely ever will a team lose when they shoot that high, though, unless you get the shitty defense that Amare played... if he can manage to not let Odom look like an all-star, the game is within reach. Odom is the x-factor.

[Muser]

Who is defending the Spurs? They sucked ass.

[scanry]

Playing the Mavs in the first round took its toll on the Spurs. They came out flat against PHX and really i mean really bent over for PHX.

The Spurs won 4 out of the 5 closely contested games against Dallas, and lost 3 out 3 closely contested games against PHX.

I agree. By the time they met the Suns they were spent. I had the Spurs winning that series but fuel was the culprit here. Not taking anything from the Suns. They played fantastic but 2 dynamics were at work here; You had a Spurs team that wanted revenge on a team that took em out a year prior and laid it all on the line with them and you had a Suns team who has no beef with the Blazers hence not a passionate series but laid it all on the line with the Spurs. The Suns, through scheduling in my opionion, had more energy to spend on the one foe that always gave them a headache....The Spurs.

Most are quoting the three point shooting. Thanks for playing anyway.

3pt% is an important stat and shouldn't be overlooked.

But even if PHO shot 46% against the lakers as they did vs the spurs they would have added 5 extra 3's (15 pts). And still get beat 128-122.

The biggest story of game 1 IMO was how David Stern's new point man Scott Foster and crew cut Grant Hill's heart out and fed it to the alligators.. no way does Kobe shoot over 50% if Hill is allowed to play defense out there, he would have been lucky to hit 35%.

Game 2 tonight we'll see a new crew chief and things may be just a tad different out there this time.

Does it matter what they shot? The Suns fucking swept them.

Look at the little Suns fan, all grown up. Seriously, you finally win one series after so many years and tries, and they get a bit too cocky.
A Suns fan can never complain about being a sore loser, which is a complete hypocresy.

And Suns won cause their role players clicked at the right time,
and the Spurs role players never did.

[Ignorant Spurs fan]

The Suns gave it all out to beat big Brother. They just wanted to beat the Spurs and that's it.

I mean, how can you not get up to play the 4 time NBA champions San Antonio Spurs?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

A Suns fan can never complain about being a sore loser, which is a complete hypocresy.


I guess San Antonio public schools don't teach you how to spell hypocrisy either.

[Spur_Fanatic]

I understand that after so many years, now the Suns fans can actually be proud of something. I really do hope the Suns win it all, cause...

- I don't want Artest to win a ring,
- KG is an ass,
- My gf is a Orlando fan and likes to brag.

But if the Suns don't win it all again, expect some serious backlash on the forum, lol.
Let's face it, though. It's like like the Suns have a great chance to win it all. They are simply not constructed to win. Their players, aside of Nash, don't have that hunger. And Amare still doesn't want to train his defense skills. I applaud Gentry's effort and herculean task to put some defense mindset on the team, though.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

And Suns won cause their role players clicked at the right time,

Yeah, in other words, the Suns were a better team. In 2007 when the Spurs role players did what they were supposed to and Phoenix's role players (outside of Kurt Thomas) curled up in a ball and did nothing, the Spurs were a better team and they won. Idk what's so hard about the "the better team won" concept.

[Spur_Fanatic]

I guess San Antonio public schools don't teach you how to spell hypocrisy either.

Sorry, english is my 3rd/4th language. And if we are being touchy, it's "San Antonio's", right? What's your excuse?

Oh, and I don't live in SA, btw. But you would do well to cool down a little, as you are in a Spurs forum. This forum rocks, cause had I been on a Suns forum, and said: "Arizona is a known nazi bunker" I'd expect to be banned almost inmediately.

You are new to the "winning" notion, so you are excused: I never said Suns were an undeserving team. The team that wins is the best team.
Of course, what matters is to win it all, but Suns still have a chance to go that far, and I hope they do.

Now, because the Suns won, you can finally admit it, of course.

Yeah, LA is a better team than Phoenix, so naturally Phoenix isn't getting the easy looks against LA they got against SA. I wasn't expecting Phoenix to beat LA, the only point of this thread was to point out how retarded it is to think Phoenix had some fluke shooting performance against SA.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

You are new to the "winning" notion


I have as many rings as you do, so no newer to it than you are.

[Spur_Fanatic]

I have as many rings as you do, so no newer to it than you are.

I only have one ring, my marriage ring. So you are a Suns player that has won an NBA championship (too lazy to check if any, but just in case: "I hate you!"),
or you are a stereotypical rap singer (of you could be a woman, they do use a lot more rings that us).

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Oh, and I don't live in SA, btw.


lol bandwagoner

[Spur_Fanatic]

Oh, then that means you live in Phoenix, the new Berlin.
If not, you are also not a "true" fan.

If that's how it is, fair enough. I was banned from a PHX forum cause I said the Suns are simply not hungry enough (back a few years ago, mind you).

This forum is generous on letting someone diss their team's home city. Kudos to you. ;)

[poop]

all i know is, Frye and Dudley were absolutely on fire from 3-land in their first 2 series, especially against the spurs these 2 guys hit virtually ALL their 3-pointers.

they got basically the same looks against LA and went 1-9 or something like that.

[Shastafarian]

You as a non-retard should know there's not such thing as luck in basketball. Unless you're talking about lucky bounces. And those are too rare to consider. Players get hot and cold. Guys like Frye are streaky and he happened to be hot in the Spurs series. Hence, the Suns were the better team. Would it have been a different series if Frye was missing threes against San Antonio? Who knows and who cares. It's in the past. Focus on the current series.

[poop]

whottt?

they did, the 3's they swished against SA were MOSTLY defended decently, they just swished them anyways. go look at the highlights.

I wouldn't call it streaky, I'd call Frye a player who can be productive against mediocre or bad defenses and completely useless against good defenses. Just my opinion. Having guys like Frye playing key rotation minutes is why Phoenix is gonna lost to LA.

[poop]

heres some math for you

Frye vs SA:

gm 1: 50%
gm 2: 83%
gm 3: 60%
gm 4: 29%

so thru the first 3 games Frye was hitting 67% (10-15) beyond the arc.
series total 55%.

Dudley hit 40% against SA.

now lets look at gm 1 vs LA; these same two men shot:

Frye: 14% (1-7)
Dudley: 20% (1-5)

so while they were hitting an average of 50% 3-pointers over the course of 4 games, with Frye hitting 67% 3-pointers thru the first 3 games, they shot 17% against LA.

50% vs. 17%

thats what people are talking about

[DesignatedT]

Suns are getting a lot of the same looks vs LA. Suns had confidence against the Spurs for once. There whole team was shooting with high confidence and a good rhythm. They took years of frustration out on the Spurs while the Spurs did the same exact thing against Dallas the series before... Exactly why LA will beat Phoenix.

Yup, this has nothing to do with Bonner guarding Frye instead of Odom, just shitty luck. Only San Antonio would be unlucky enough to not get away with leaving Frye open.

yes of course, all his 3's were completely wide open and only matt bonner guarded him the whole time :rolleyes
