No- it's just a fact. Guess some Spurs fans just can't handle the truth.

My comment to you has nothing to do with statistical fact. If you were simply making a point to that effect, you would've said:

And Phoenix is ahead of the Spurs in point differential this season. (Period)

But instead, you chose to add:
a stat Spurs fans have long flaunted.

Then you followed it up with:
If the Spurs ever go back to defending like they used to, then Spurs fans can gloat about defense again, but they lost that right.

You can spout numbers all day long and you'll find areas where the Spurs have slipped. If you're argument is based on statistics, then it stands on it's own. Choosing to use words like flaunt and gloat is a sign of bitterness.

Ploto, we all know how you feel about the Spurs organization, even if you like some of the players. You've pretty much lost all credibility when it comes to your comments about the Spurs, so you should probably stick to commenting about the Raptors. Beyond that, you've become nothing short of a troll.

No- it's just a fact. Guess some Spurs fans just can't handle the truth. People make claims that have no statistical backing. Mine do. Before people start ragging on the Suns defense, they might want to learn something about them and watch some of their games. The Suns ARE holding opponents to a lower 3 pt FG% than the Spurs and their point differential IS better than the Spurs this season. Anyone who is simply writing off Phoenix and saying they have no defense hasn't been watching them play lately. Amare actually plays defense now- blocks shots and fights for rebounds. They picked up players like Raja Bell and Boris Diaw. They aren't the Suns of 2 seasons ago that the Spurs beat in the play-offs. Last year people made the same mistake with Dallas- not understanding that they weren't the same team of a couple of years before. Well, the Suns aren't either. That's not hatred of the Spurs- it's appreciation of a team that is playing well, and I like good basketball. Sorry, if right now there are teams simply playing better basketball than the Spurs. Anyone with any basketball knowledge will admit that. If the Spurs ever go back to defending like they used to, then Spurs fans can gloat about defense again, but they lost that right.

All your stats don't mean squat until the national media & public see an improved defense from the Suns in the playoffs. You really need to let this go or it's going to bother you all year. The Suns WILL NOT get any respect for their improved defense until it's seen in the playoffs. I've said this before on here cuz as a Mav fan I know exactly where you're coming from. It's frustrating I know, but you spouting off stats and arguing with other posters ain't gonna accomplish anything.
