Positives from the game

"3-pt shooting teams to 2-16"

I saw the stat, but this isn't a positive, imo. Spurs shut-down the Sonics main weapon, or Sonics were just cold, and Spurs still couldn't win.

The 16 attempts is above the appx 10 attempts that the Spurs have been holding playoff teams to.

SOS, Seattle: Spurs Own Sonics! :lol

good point

This way, the Spurs get a decisive victory in game 4, then close out the series at the SBC. The game can end with a modified song version of Send in the Clowns so that it now reads Send Out the Clowns, and the Spurs can rent a garbage truck from the city to carry out Trashbag james.

positives from the game?

hmmm...

well I just saved myself a bunch of money by switching to GEICO...:lol

Boutons, point is, the Sonics have been unable to play their game this whole series.... even when they win.

Just another fact to go into the "Spurs beat themselves" file.

Now, if Sonics come in and score 8-16 three-pointers on Sunday, then we have a problem. But so far, I see no reasons to worry about this series.

What do you mean by the Spurs "holding" teams to 10 3PA's a game? A team can never prevent the other team from jacking up 3's, but good D can prevent most of those from going in (2-16), as can cold shooting of course.

Excellent point, but by applying good defense you can discourage the 3-point shot, which I think is the idea Boutons was talking about.

Still, you're right, you can't force someone NOT to shoot. :lol

Hopefully, we can continue to encourage the Sonics to miss shots.

The Spurs' opponents have one the best 3G %ages, but opponents attempt only about 10 3Gs a game, when the league avg is about 15 3G attempted.

If the Spurs don't "hold" the opponents to 10 3G attempts/game, WTF is stopping them from taking 15 or 25? How about Spurs' defense as the culprit?

You're fucking around with an idiom, not concepts.

the spurs gave their fans an opportunity to showcase how little they understand about the game

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a fan, NOT a basketball expert.

Hell, I don't understand the fouls half the time, but reading this forum, I'm not alone.

So, please explain: How do you REALLY prevent 3-pointers?

Even though we lost the Sonics somehow managed to got owned.

i wasnt referring to you bitch

If that's really what Bruce, said, it is CLASSIC.

However, I'd want more reliable confirmation than Tolbert's word.

Don Harris calling Ray Allen out by insinuating Manu flops.

That was funny despite, though I couldn't laugh.

Exactly what I was going to say. If Spurs can play this bad, miss that many goddamn free throws, and STILL almost win the game - I'd say the Sonics are fucking doomed.

Spurs will dominate Game 4 and shoot a high FT percentage, and come back home and win it in 5.

But Bruce told him what I said, that was why Ray got pissed.

This little rivalry is turning into something.
:lol

i wonder HOW can Lon Babby handle his ward?

He is the agent of these two players-Bruce & Allen aside from Tim Duncan. He shld act now. Put a RED LIGHT into this nonsense that Ray started! Enough!

Ray Allen = :idiot

on another positive note, i totally got to see a replay where i saw Ray mouth those expletives

pretty good stuff

what a little BITCH!!!!!
