obviously some flaws in the thought process and numbers, but still pretty cool..

For those that don't follow BPM, this is the order, so far(excluding players that have played less than 300 mins):

1. Kawhi- 8.7
2. Duncan- 5.3
3. Manu- 4.9
4. West- 3.9
5. Parker- 2.6
6. Diaw- 2.6
7. Mills- 2.1
8. Anderson- 1.7
9. Green- 1.5
10. Simmons- 1.1
11. Aldridge- 0.2

Go Spurs go

Well, we all know that our bench is the difference maker in our success. It's cool to see it put on paper like that. Didn't think they were that dominant either.

Boban would get steamrolled and would foul out in 5 minutes against the damn Dubs.

West quits on defense too much.

Boris might be the key.

Simmons could match their athleticism.

Anderson is too slow.

Mills chucks too much which is a losing battle against the Dubs.

Manu is another key for us, but he must stay under control

& Butler might become a legit option if the young guys struggle too much.


Did I leave out anyone?

No but you didn't disappoint in being the only one to take the laughable notion that the Spurs bench would beat GSW's starters 5-on-5 seriously for even half a second.

Obviously our bench plays mostly against other benches save D.West and Manu limited minutes... but they are so dominant over those other benches, that it is actually the factor in our point differential being sky high.

I think we could hang in there for awhile, but ultimately they'd pull away without Kawhi/LMA on the court.

Bench is amazing, especially when the narrative in the offseason was that we sacrificed our bench for LMA.

I've watched more games this season, than I have in years. Mostly because of the Bench.

Watching guys like Simmons, Boban, Diaw, Kyle, Patty...and Manu. I mean, c'mon. I'm watching blowouts just to see these guys play!

This has been a blast of a season...lol

PATFO did an amazing job of bringing in a lot of new talent.
