very nice.
Dont get me wrong though, we've started playing better on D after those games, I agree
INDY/MIL/MIN/MIN
MIL is the worst shooting team in the league at 41%.
INDY is the fourth worst shooting team in the league at 43%
MIN is the eigth wost shooting team in the league at 44%
Just some perspective on the opponents.
but they're a terrible defensive team...
Keyword is consistency... If we manage to keep that up for 10 or so games, I would feel a lot better. We'll see what we do against Dallas (if Dirk plays).
Great
Yeah, but it's now 8 REALLY good games out of 10. NY was a sandwich, but I don't even fault our D for Boston's 61%. They were just unconscious. Ray Allen shot 81%. If he missed ONE MORE SHOT, we win.
thank you.
this team can be a very good defensive team if they focus for the full 48, but just too many inconsistent stretches and mental lapses to consider them elite.
I'm going to withhold any excitement about this team's defense until they can get it done consistently against quality offensive teams who aren't playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Not saying that they can't do it -- would just like to see it actually happen.
And somehow we were STILL able to get them ALL to shoot worse than their average.
Nothing to get overly excited about, but a step in the right direction.
Spurs are 30-0 when holding opponents under 49%FG.
Pop needs to put this fact on every whiteboard in the locker room.
spurs are not good defensive team until they grab the rebounds on the defensive end of the floor....
the boston game was a bunch a bull where was that ray allen in game 7. ing asshole giving 6-24 another ring.
is a home game, I'm expecting some home cooking hopefully
This is about as far as my excitement goes.
Can't sleep on it. We were a couple of Gary Neal 3's away from dropping our last one against them in Dallas. You just can't relax.
I'm hoping Hill wakes up now that we're playing back at home.
We play good defense against poor to mediocre teams, but ty against better teams. That tells me our defense isn't that spotty, it's just weak. Stronger opponents do well against us, but weaker ones do not. Nothing magic about that.
George Hill is like the dude from Time Traveler's Wife. He shows up then he's gone again.
27-0 when our FG% is higher than opponents. Which means that most of our games we outshoot the enemy and hold them to a sub-par shooting effort. Nice recipe.
They are 33 - 0 when they outscore the opponents. That's the only thing they need to know as far as stats. They cannot go out and intentionally hold a team to certain shooting percentages. If they had that switch, it would be on all the time. This team is motivated by the in-game situation, not by the stat lines.
OH OH OH wait, my turn... Cool story broh!

True but the Spurs have put up great defensive games against teams like the Lakers and the Thunder as well. Holding LA to 82 points and OKC to 74....
