Good catches by timvp and RVB on the Spurs giving up significantly fewer 3 point attempts per game than the average in the NBA. Still, from the perspective that you can always improve, that % is somewhat too high. Perhaps with a couple more seasons of the current personnel playing together will they be able to reduce that average %.
1. Tony Parker needs to improve his FT shooting. Will make people pay for fouling him and will boost his ppg by 4-5 per game. Plus, a byproduct will be improved jumpshooting.
2. Nazr needs to improve his "D" and finishing.
3. Tim needs to bulk up a little bit.
4. "Slomo" Beno needs to hit the track and work on his speed.
5. Brent needs to improve his decision making.
6. Horry needs to improve his defensive rebouding if possible.
7. Manu needs to improve his Asst to Turnover ratio
There is one stat that has mystified me over the years (past 5 at least) is the Opponent FT % The Spurs are almost always one of the worst teams in this category.
In 2004-05 they were a little better and were ranked 6th worst at 76.8% while the Lakers were the worst at 78%.
It's almost as though the Spurs defense is so tough, that the FT is a more appreciated method of scoring by their opposition.
Yeah, I've noticed that. Perhaps Pop needs to improve their smack talk when an opposing player is at the line?Quote:
