How often do 3p Chucking teams win the le?

[Giuseppe]

When I've lauded the Ellis family for their production & stewardship of this Board I've included the caveat that they are not perfect in said application.

Their treatment of 2b is such an example.

[Kyle Orton]

The 94-95 Rockets won the le with a sweep and averaged 21.4 3-point attempts a game.

While they prove you can win as a 3 point shooting team, they also prove that you need 3 point shooters who haven't just had some playoff experience but 3 point shooters who are completely unaffected by the playoffs.

In the Spurs case, Gary Neal is untested (but I have a hunch he'll be good in the playoffs), George Hill had 1 great shooting playoff series last year and one terrible playoff series, while Bonner and have been ty for the most part in the playoffs with plenty of wide open missed shots. If Bonner and don't fall apart in the playoffs this year, they can certainly win as a "3 point shooting team".

h2b makes you look like a halfway decent poster, so it's understandable that you'd want him to start more threads.

He's a dumb .

_JaG has been bullyin' s and plastering them to the tree of woe ever since I've been back and he's been posting.

No.

[They] were prejudiced against him from the get go. Marked him, and then waited constantly for him to prove what they wanted to see.

I'm trying to get into playoff form.

That's it, and that's all.

[Giuseppe]

He's a dumb .

He wasn't cool & aloof like Luva. He wasn't bombastic & selfless like Kool.

[They] just read him, fingered him, and rubbed him out. He was expendable.

[Fpoonsie]

Yikes!

[DAF86]

I'm not sure but I think the Spurs were the only team to win a playoff game last season without making a three.

He was made to post on ESPN messages boards. And it showed

Olajuwon is what made those 3 point shooters so deadly. He opened it up for them. You need the 3 pointers as well but Olajuwon allowed them to have open looks.

Are you implying the Spurs don't have players to create open looks?

[Booharv]

Tbh the reason that Rockets team won is Olajuwon destroyed every opposing team. So this comparison is kind of re ed. Spurs are built entirely differently at this stage of Duncan's career.

Duncan is saving those dominating types of performances for the playoffs. Teams will have to start doubling him after he brings out the time machine and brings back his prime self.

[cobbler]

3 point attempts per game:

Spurs: 20.6
Lakers: 18.1

So, at exactly what point between 18.1 and 20.6 does a team become a 3p chucking team?

Clearly 18.2 and up is chucking. Any real basketball mind knows 18.1 is the golden number. Geeez

[Beau]

The Spurs are clearly chucking at an alarming rate. Their '07 team ranked 7th in 3PA.

They're gonna have to pick it up if they want to move from 8th to 7th this year...

The simple fact of the matter stands. h2b cannot walk the walk. He is all bluster, no substance. When presented with any legit argument against, he could never defend his position without resorting to insults and his own delusion filled agenda. Despite his claim of interest in personal knowledge and debate of the game of basketball, he could never deliver the goods. He is every bit as bad, or worse, as he claims Spurs fans are . . . he is . . . gnlf . . .

He was targeted upon arrival and ridden out on a rail. The same business was tried with me when I landed. I'd been thru that dog & pony show numerous times on numerous Boards so I knew how to handle it. He lit the Spurs Fan up and they in turn insisted that Kori ban him. She took a look at his goods, realized he wasn't sponsored like I had been and cut him loose. He was a sacrificial lamb led to the slaughter by fear mongering Spurs guys.

You guys, I can excuse for your behavior because you're en led. But, [they] knew better.

How often does #3 seed win the le?






2002 Lakers weren't apart of the last decade?


Idiot.










Hint: the Spurs are the only team to do that in the last two decades.

[Kobe_5_Duncan_4]

24 with the goods, par the course, per the usual.

Lol, Venti Quattro

The resident "Yessir House Negro" playing his role of Spurs sucker in a Lakers sheep clothing.

That idiot doesn't know the game if he thinks that this version of Duncan provides that "inside" balance to the Spurs.

The drive and kick to the 3p line, followed by an additional swing along the 3p line is the bread and butter play of the this Spurs team. If you can't see that, well then, pay more attention to the game.

3p chucking teams DONT win the le. Ever.

Lol, please.

Coming from a guy who claimed the entire league was official on notice to fear Tiago Splitter after the first week of this season, not much needs to be said about your pedigree as a basketball mind.

I come here and speak the truth and it pisses a bunch of fanboys off because people want the right to be delusional.

Meanwhile, I laugh.

That's exactly what he is.

He likes his place in this house and he ain't gonna say anything to get out of line. Pussy ass Laker fan who simply doesn't know the game.
