    Spurs lead the league in 3pt PERCENTAGE. That's never a bad thing.

    Chew on that.

    These are the Spurs' top 3 point shooters. Do you really expect them to shoot at this level throughout the year? I say they all drop to below 40 % by the end of the season.
    This kind of logic is like saying Spurs are in trouble because their mascot is a coyote

    Wow, that's the weakest argument I've heard in a long time. You don't need much IQ to figure out that it is actually the other way aroung. Those role players are shooting opens 3's because our Big 3's are drawing a lot of attention on the paint from defenders.

    The main reason the Hornets series went 7 is because no one could make a 3 out of the TD double teams.

    With Money Mason, hopefully that won't be reality again this year.

    it's not only Mason..obviously he's there, but Finley is MUCH better than last year, and so is Matt..

    a healthy Manu makes a difference as well..he looks to be getting back into form..he looks better from a physical standpoint right now, compared to last years playoffs..

    You guys just don't get it. The reason the Spurs have been successful this season is directly attributable to their 3 point shooting. The rate at which they are making threes is unlikely to continue.

    I think it's more of a personal wish that our shooter's won't shoot that way the rest of the year.

    Currently 9-10 on the road and 11-12 in the conference. If you can't win on the road then you won't go far in the playoffs (assuming you make the playoffs).

    Exactly. Bonner, Mason, Finley, and Bowen, are role players... they are the ones that are supposed to hit the threes in this offense, that is their role.

    why? they are all regularly good 3 PT shooters (except for Bonner, but we always knew he could jack it up there). Finley is in shape this year, Mason is young...what logical reasoning do you have for this? (with the exception of Bonner's %)

    Regression. Problem is he doesn't take into account that one FG% might go up and the other(s) might go down, which wouldn't have that large of an effect on the whole.

    yeah but the only person who really has the possibility of going stone cold is Bonner due to lack of confidence, aka old Bonner.

    also, Bruce's % is deceptive because he doesn't get as many minutes or shots anymore.

    You should have gone with a stat showing what percentage of the team's scoring is generated on threes.
