Starters vs. Bench..

[Malik Hairston]

The Spurs bench is ranked 2nd in the NBA in productivity, following up on last year's solid production..

The Starters are now ranked 22nd in the NBA in productivity, and over the last 6 games, they are 29th in the NBA, only ahead of the Kings..

What is the problem?..

the starters dont move the ball ... parker dribbles around one side of the court or they pass in the post to duncan ... 2nd unit moves the ball

Manu is considered a bench player for this statistic, I assume?

Productivity by what measure? Is it factoring in that the Spurs starters play less than probably every other team in the league?

The bench was better than the starters last year, as well..however, at least last year's starters were better than league average during the 2nd part of the year..

This year's starting unit looks terrible..

Kawhi regressed instead of improving, and Danny Green didn't make any improvements to his 1-dimensional offensive game..
