that since 2007 teams have been hitting Globetrotter-esque shots late in the shot clock, or making shots with terrible shot selection? It has really been annoying me. The Spurs would play superb defense when the shot goes up, but it is still 2-3points for the opposition. A couple of examples from last night.
Dragic Buzzer Beater in first half.
Dragic floater off of a deflected pass.
Lowry deep 3 with a much bigger/longer defender right in his grill. (Re ed shot selection too.)
Dalembert goofy looking shot while appearing to be pinned under the backboard.
This is just to name a few. I just think that statistically it is impossible for EVERY team in the NBA to be able to do this consistently against the Spurs, yet I have been witnessing it for a while. One can argue it is just plain 'ol bad luck, but now I am starting to doubt it. I am starting to believe that maybe its because the Spurs defense just isn't feared enough to put enough pressure on the shooters in those situations, and when the shot is taken the player is ultra confident?
Does this make sense to any of you? (Oh, and don't get me started on the refs this season. They have been KILLING me!)
