Fall Out of Love w/ the Damn 3 Ball

[longtimelurker]

not to be a hollinger, but what do you think percentage-wise the spurs have to shoot as a team to win if we limit the other team to 90-95 pts?

In the past we could get away with a bad night from behind the arc because of our defense and because Duncan and Manu could get to the line a lot more easily. Because we're not getting to the line anymore, it's essential that we hit our 3's, and even the best shooting team in the NBA is going to have one or two games out of seven where they shoot poorly from outside. Unless the other team is also cold, that's bad news.
