1 rebound, Tony Parker? Really? Come on. Trade this dude.

[GNSF]He would have got at least 10 if it wasn't for Pop screaming at him to tank and rest.[/GNSF]

Timvp, would you know where to find the stat of when was the last time a team had a higher 3pt FG% than regular FG% in a game? It can't possibly happen that often and I thought it was a remarkable stat about yesterday's game.

Two nights before this game. The Spurs did the same thing against the Jazz. 3P - 47.6% FG - 46.2%

You wouldn't think it happens very often, but the Spurs have done it two games out of the last three.

Apparently happens fairly often.

This is not an exhaustive search and it came up with 59 occurrences this season:

Even taking games with a high number of 3-point attempts (20+) that's still at least 18 game this season (only counting games with 3P% > 0.5). I would never have thought so, obviously!

Thanks Mel13 for the link to bb-reference, I never think of using the Team Finder, I need to explore the options a bit more.

Watching JA play is so frustrating. If he just concentrated on taking the ball to the hoop and playing solid D, he would find himself getting solid minutes.

He's just regressed so bad. It's not his confidence, he's certainly shooting. It just seems like he's forcing things and is out of whack with everyone on the floor. He's playing like an individual out there and not part of the team.

But when you see his athleticism, his ability to get rebounds and kick start a break, its tempting to want to hang on to him until he figures things out.

When Blair demonstrates how well he can play, WTF is going on in so many horrible games?

Happy with the win, but please, let's not take this result too seriously. This was pretty much opposite Portland game. Denver was without their top three players and four of their top five. It'd be embarrassing to lose in such a cir stance.

I tweeted to Danny Green about taking it strong to the rim and that he is one of the few on the team with that ability; his reply was a genuine thanks for the advice, I'm working on that and thanks for the support.

Green has become my favorite player I actually think if he works on his dribble and finishing at the rim he can become a legit starter. The guy is just a basketball player he does a little bit of everything and I like the fact that he has more block shot then Blair and the Red Rocket combined....Just bought his jersey today!.......Go Spurs!
