Elite Spurs Succeed Without All the Fanfare

[phyzik]

I think Tom Brady did that but I agree with you

No doubt Tom Brady is the man.... but the patriots will always be second or third behind The Spurs and the supposed "America's team" Cowboys who ing choke just like their NBA counter-parts

[bringBAKElie]

is there any credibility to his "point's allowed per 100 opponet possessions" guage, I dont know what he means by this, does this extend to following games or what

[bringBAKElie]

dont talk about the Cowboy's that way

I stopped reading here.

Why? On a point per possession basis, this Spurs team only trails the 1994-95 team as the best offensive Spurs team ever. Those run-and-gun teams of the late 70's and early 80's averaged more points per game, but they also played in a league with a much faster pace.

What's more impressive ... averaging 100 points per game in the current NBA or averaging 120 points per game while playing in an NBA in a time where you get 1,500 more field goal attempts and 800 more free throw attempts per year?

Put this Spurs team in an era where the NBA didn't play defense and only cared about offense and this current squad would average 130.

And instead of losing 90-85 to Dallas, they would lose 125-115.

Yeah, at what point does our underratedness become overrated?

Today looks like a good point.

Believe that if you want.

I suppose you believe per 48 minute stats can be used to project which bench players are better than starters, too.

So you want to argue that those run-and-gun Spurs teams could beat the championship Spurs teams? The run-and-gun Spurs were like the Suns, except they played worse defense and couldn't shoot as well.

And if you'd kindly tell me how much you think this Spurs team would average in an NBA where they got 20 more possessions per game on average, that'd be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think you should change your sig because the purrs aren't taking anything back.

That means a lot coming from a Knicks fan. :heavy sarcasm
