ESPN True Hoop podcast: Spurs lost because "It's all in the math"

[J_Paco]

Ya, they scored 32 points off turnovers and 53 points in the paint IIRC..

Yeah, but the "analysts" claimed we can't beat them do to "trading two's for three's" not because of turning over the ball an ungodly amount (24) and giving up an absurd 53 PIT. Spurs need to do a better job of taking care of the ball and stopping those easy backdoor plays.

They either play Steph 94 feet most of the game trying to slow him down (only use during WCF, TBH), but they can always go to Green to bring the ball up, or you let him get his and focus on slowing down or stopping his teammates. Spurs did neither one during the last game and gone embrassed because of that.....

Spurs attempted 23 3 points shots against the Rockets, 9 more than against the Warriors.

Spurs scored 130 points, this is the first time this season the Spurs have scored more than 123 points.

In short, if you don't take those 3's, then you aren't going to win against the Dubs who will take those 3's.

Kawhi didn't guard Curry last Monday except for a brief time. We'll see how he does when we aren't turning the ball over every play and Mills and TP aren't on him. Kawhi had about 7 steals in the last game we played against them last season and was soon voted the Defensive Player of the Year.

Last year last year last year

Last year they lost too. They couldn't even defeat the overhyped CP3 and the monkeyballer. If ifs were fifths we'd all be drunk. You were blessed with the gift to see the future this past Monday. Curry made a mockery of the leagues "best" defense. Then, to show that he is not above his team (which he really is), he sat out the 3rd and delighted in the play of his disciples. A very humble and gracious winner.
