Shawn Marion: "If you take those threes out of the game I think we win"

[spurs10]

If my redheaded aunt could shoot the 3 and had a penis she'd be my Uncle Bonner...

True. And if you take away the Spurs' 3s, they're 18 points short on the board -- Mavs win by 6.

I am not following the logic here. If you take away the 3s, that means they never happened (unless you are removing the score from them after the end of the game, which wasn't the point).

You cannot just take the final score and say that would have been the score regardless, because the score at the end of the 3rd is what made Pop put in the subs. Without those 3s, that score is closer and the subs never enter the game.

There's always a consequence unless you just want to apply the magical trump card.

Try that one : Logic of Sarcasm.

Did somebody already say that?

It didn't read like sarcasm, but thanks for your interpretation.

So what, it's just a flesh wound.

My bad, mucca. Let me break it down for ya:

Six multiplied by three, equals eighteen. If the Spurs don't make six three-pointers, for a total of eighteen points, they only wind up eighty-three points; the final score would then be Mavs 89, Spurs 83.

"If you take those threes out of the game, I think we win," is what Maid Marion said. And he's right, only there's no thinking about it.

It's the maths -- hope that helps.

So what will be Marion's quote following their loss to the Grizz? "You take out all the layups and dunks and free throws, I think we win"?

[Sean Cagney]

As a Spurs fan, I've always appreciated players like Marion, Amare, Melo, JR Smith, and Kenyon Martin. There were times when it looked like the Spurs were in trouble and then one of these geniuses would save the day with a stupid foul, boneheaded turnover, technical foul, or ill-advised shot.

This here had me dying whenI READ IT. The thing is this is true.
