Anyway.. with the personnel the Spurs choose to put out on the floor... it is very difficult/almost impossible to be anything more than a decent defensive team. They will obviously have a couple of fluke nights where they defend a little better than normal and the opposition just flat out sucks.. such as against the Lakers.
Milwaukee is last, Indiana at #21 and Minnesota at #8 in team PPG. They all shoot a fairly low percentage though.Quote:

Earlier in the season they were complaining that the Spurs defense needed to improve. Not that it is showing definite signs of improving they dismiss it because the other teams were poor competition. :bang
7th Defense in the league
not bad for a #1 offense in the league
:wow :wow
What you better be looking at is that big black fucking thug breathing down your neck coming for first place.
They're going to struggle against certain teams defensively, mainly ones that can stretch the floor (Spurs don't have great length and athleticism). They've struggled against some of the better teams in part because of that problem.Quote:

You're going to have some games where the opposition just gets hot from 18 feet and there's only so much you can do (although the team still almost won that game on the road). The belief - right or wrong - is that the odds of anyone staying hot from that range for 4 times in 7 games is slimmer than it would be from other locales on the floor.
Thanks for mentioning this, as this league is all about matchups. Tough matchups are the Knicks and the Magic. The Celtics not so much, they just execute perfectly on the offensive end, but the Spurs still could have won the game on the second night of a back to back.Quote:
