Those are some interesting stats.
Just to add some context, the league average in 2010-11 was 22.2% (3 pointers as percentage of total shots). 24% is a fairly typical number in today's NBA.
I thought I would pull out interesting stats that many people may miss at first glance. Only 5 stats that stand out to me.
Manu 27 min- 6/10- 5/8- 7-7 -3 RB-6 ast- 1 TO- 1 st 24 pts.
While we all know Manu had a great game offensively, did anyone notice that 8 of his 10 shots were 3 point attempts? thats almost half of the teams shots from that range, meaning he only drove for 2 shots this game. You wouldnt think this if you saw the game. Id rather seem him dfrive more and get Free throws. On Other hand, Manu is still El Fuego.
Rebounds The spurs out rebounded the up and coming B. Griffin Clippers 43-30. a `13 rebound differential LEd my Duncan and YES, Leonards 8 rebounds a piece. More impressive is LEonard got his rebounds in just a total of 20 min of action.
28 min Number if minutes none of the Spurs had to play this game. The Clippers had 3 players over 33 min.
33 FT to 15 FT- This stat might not be noticed, but a more then 2-1 advantage in free throws worries me. Means were not attacking the rim and other team is NOT afraid to drive on us. Hopefully just a blip in the stats.
24% of shots as 3 point attempts- While we made 10-19 3 point attempts, we only shot 24% of our total shots as 3 pointers as opposed to game #1, where we jacked up a total of 33 (3) point attempts, which was a whopping 40% of all shots taken! While 24% is still a bit high IMO, its no where close to 40%, which scared the heck out of me.
See any other interesting stats or trends?

your correct. while 24% is in line with NBA averages, my point was trying to say we came back to normal averages after jacking up 33 attempts in game #1, which was a crazy 40% of all shots.
Just saw one more interesting Stat.
T.P vr Paul- Tony Paker had a great game versus one if not the best point gaurd in the league. Tony shot 6/9 had 9 assists, only one turn over and 14 points in 26 min of action, while Paul shot 3/10 9 assists 2 turnovers and 10 points in 36 min of action. Roughly 10 more min for Paul. Is it just me, or is Parker looking like a real point gaurd in these first 2 games?
Blake's -37 stood out on the box score to myself.
I agree that Parker has looked like a real point guard the first two games.
You can see that Parker played all summer, thats why he is not up to his normal speed, but his decision making is sharp. The lack of speed means he cannot attack the rim as easily, so he dishes out more passes ...
wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
RJ(19pt, 8/9, 4rb) v. Butler (12pt, 4/10, 1rb)
Imagine Butler chose SA and Clippers won a bid on RJ.
That's some cool large bolded text there
Thanks!
The rebounding numbers generally favor the better shooting team unless you have Zbo or Love. More missed shots = more defensive rebounds.
That speaks as much to our defense as to our rebounding.
Very good point. I think it means more about the interior D too, because most shot would have a higher % in the paint.
live by the 3, die by the 3...we all seen this...when shots arent going in
God your so right. I just hope we dont count on it as much in the future.
Yes we have, and that's about all the Clips have right now outside of a breakaway or lob. They will improve, bet on that.
We have more weapons than just 3pt shooting though. I wouldn't focus too much on offense, like someone said, we need to keep points off the board.
If we lose because of our offense, I can live with that. I hate to lose because we cannot stop the other team from scoring though.
They shot 10-33 from the three against grizz and won by double digits. I'm going to say with the spurs new defense combined with the already present three point threat from Neal Jefferson Gino Anderson and maybe Leonard and maaaaaaybe in shalla bonner, they have a very well rounded team, that can grind out in the fourth or blowout draining threes. I guess well have to wait and see
Good write up. As most of us know, this team can get itself in trouble, relying on the 3 ball too much, but I trust Manu to do other things on the court, like driving to the hole, setting up other teammates, etc, if his 3-point shot isn't falling.
again ... they could have won the game against the Clippers by shooting 2 of 19 from three
Pop wants everybody to shoot when open ... so you shoot ... some teams will give you 20 ... other teams 30 3Pt opportunities
just have to be more clutch in the playoffs and continue to make these shots (like the Mavs did)
We know that 3 of the 7 foul shots came from a 3 point attempt foul that doesn't show up in the boxscore as an attempt since he was fouled. That means the other 4 attempts were inside the arc and most likely from drives into the paint. So it's not like he's camping like he was Jason Kapono or Dale Ellis. Plus the assist numbers and rebound numbers tell you he was integral to their W.Manu 27 min- 6/10- 5/8- 7-7 -3 RB-6 ast- 1 TO- 1 st 24 pts.

This really stood out to me as well.
I did another write up on the game for Spursofthemoment.com, I would love to get some thoughts on it
The offensive efficiency, especially of RJ, Tony, Manu, and Blair really stood out to me, as did the balance of minutes. Check out my article for more complete and in depth thoughts and let me know if you think its any good.
If he shot 7 free throws and 3 were from a foul from a 3 pt attempt, then the remaining 4 foul shots were from 2 shots inside the arc, not 4. ( 2 free throws for one attempt.)
I only worry about the Spurs shooting a lot of threes if they hit a high percentage and win by one. When you win by 25 going away, I'm not so concerned about it, because it means they also played good defense and would have been in a game where they missed 8 of those threes that went in.
Because of their reliancy on the 3-point shot, the Spurs offense will always be up and down, but if they can play defense, like the 1st two games, they will be a factor this season.
