    "3-pt shooting teams to 2-16"

    I saw the stat, but this isn't a positive, imo. Spurs shut-down the Sonics main weapon, or Sonics were just cold, and Spurs still couldn't win.

    The 16 attempts is above the appx 10 attempts that the Spurs have been holding playoff teams to.

    Boutons, point is, the Sonics have been unable to play their game this whole series.... even when they win.

    Just another fact to go into the "Spurs beat themselves" file.

    Now, if Sonics come in and score 8-16 three-pointers on Sunday, then we have a problem. But so far, I see no reasons to worry about this series.

    What do you mean by the Spurs "holding" teams to 10 3PA's a game? A team can never prevent the other team from jacking up 3's, but good D can prevent most of those from going in (2-16), as can cold shooting of course.

    Excellent point, but by applying good defense you can discourage the 3-point shot, which I think is the idea Boutons was talking about.

    Still, you're right, you can't force someone NOT to shoot.

    Hopefully, we can continue to encourage the Sonics to miss shots.

    The Spurs' opponents have one the best 3G %ages, but opponents attempt only about 10 3Gs a game, when the league avg is about 15 3G attempted.

    If the Spurs don't "hold" the opponents to 10 3G attempts/game, WTF is stopping them from taking 15 or 25? How about Spurs' defense as the culprit?

    You're ing around with an idiom, not concepts.

    I'll be the first to admit that I'm a fan, NOT a basketball expert.

    , I don't understand the fouls half the time, but reading this forum, I'm not alone.

    So, please explain: How do you REALLY prevent 3-pointers?

    He said " Oh so close, man"
    If that's really what Bruce, said, it is CLASSIC.

    However, I'd want more reliable confirmation than Tolbert's word.

    Don Harris calling Ray Allen out by insinuating Manu flops.

    That was funny despite, though I couldn't laugh.

    The Spurs played bad and still lost by just 1 point... I hope they will come back fired up... It would suck if seattle would win game 4.
    Exactly what I was going to say. If Spurs can play this bad, miss that many goddamn free throws, and STILL almost win the game - I'd say the Sonics are ing doomed.

    Spurs will dominate Game 4 and shoot a high FT percentage, and come back home and win it in 5.

    Oh, I thought you said Bruce said that....nevermind...

    But Bruce told him what I said, that was why Ray got pissed.

    This little rivalry is turning into something.
    i wonder HOW can Lon Babby handle his ward?

    He is the agent of these two players-Bruce & Allen aside from Tim Duncan. He shld act now. Put a RED LIGHT into this nonsense that Ray started! Enough!

    Ray Allen =
