Spurs record in close games

[TampaDude]

What some people call clutch I call fluke shots.

I agree that stats don't always tell the story but over the long haul most things even out. The question is "How long is long"? A season or multiple ones. At this point I really don't care what time frame Hollinger would use to stistically break this down. All I care about is are they Ws or Ls. So far the majority are Ws and that suits me just fine.

Anyway even though statistically over time things do tend to even out there can be streaks within the time frame that are very one-sided. Hopefully the Spurs continue this one-sided performance.

Records in close games are not dice that you throw, nor a coin that you flip. Games are won and lost in crunch time by the team that plays the best. Certain teams shoot for a higher percentage in the 4th quarter, not because it's luck or it's their time in a balanced schedule of results, but because they execute better. These winning teams have a system & players who can get open to score or do a better job at keeping their opponent from scoring. That is why Pop tells his team they must "be perfect".

If "statistically over time things do tend to even out", then in what century is it going even out with 4 Super Bowl victories for the Buffalo Bills or Minnesota Vikings?

According to Hollinger,

stopped reading there

so according to Hollinger, Robert Horry never existed.

Good point but if you look at most sports franchises you will see an ebb and flow over time. That's really all I was implying.
