DEDMON’S IMPACT REDUCED IN SPURS’ RECENT DEFICITS

[NameLess Scrub]

In their last six games, the San Antonio Spurs have trailed by the following number of points below in each game with a 5-1 record.

03/01 vs. Indiana: -9 points. Outcome: (W)in for the Spurs.

03/03 @ New Orleans: -8 points. W

03/04 vs. Minnesota: -16 points. W

03/06 vs. Houston: -16 points. W

03/08 vs. Sacramento: -28 points. W

03/09 @ Oklahoma City: -20 points. L

With March putting the Spurs in an average hole of -13.6 points in each game, San Antonio has had to use different lineups and combinations that are more focused offensively, to allow the comebacks to take place. Whether it’s been because of certain matchups (like against Houston) or because the team needs more firepower in the frontcourt, the effect in the Spurs falling behind early has left Dewayne Dedmon, the Spurs’ starting center, less impactful in games recently.

That's why the eye test is better than bull new century analytics. He had a good game last night on defense and offense as well.

So, is Deadman the chicken or the egg in these hole-digging starts?

I honestly don't know. I tend to hang them on the TEAM's absolutely turrible effort to start games. As much as I believe that Tony is unreliable and over-the-hill, I am not completely convinced that these poor starts are not due to the failure of anybody's stepping up to replace him in that stretch. Or to Pop's crazier-than-usual rotation experiments.

I could break it down, but it's too much effort for something that isn't going to matter a couple of days from now.

You "could break it down," but you're a garbage poster.

I don't think anyone thinks you're a decent poster at all. You cry like a pussy all the time. You don't add to your posts. No content. And you stop posting when the Spurs are playing well. Definition of a got poster.


If the Spurs lose this year, you're probably going to be the happiest got in the world. With "I told you so's" even though you haven't of any sort. To be a good poster, you must battle through the thick of it and not waver. You have to be consistent. I show up for my takes when they are the unpopular opinion. You run and hide and don't post any content.

One thing is obvious: if Deadman is DJordan-lite, then the Spurs have no CP3-lite to get Deadman going. He thrives on the lob, and it seems to energize him at both ends of the floor; yet the Spurs forget about it for games on end - to the detriment of Deadman and the Spurs. Whether that would enable him to play smarter, avoiding the dumb fouls that plague him, I don't know. BUT with LMA out for an extended period, we may get a better idea.

A lot of reasons. At the end of the day, he has been slightly detrimental to the team, but not anything to be concerned about. Slight slump but coinciding with other players playing too. Makes it look worse than it is.

Does this nincompoop have any self-dignity? Told you you're being ignored..I'm not interested in engaging your impulsive, IQ-sapping inanities..

I'll leave it to DPG/Mid to come and clean your clock after every thread-polluting "one liner+emoticon" you throw at them..This quite sad existence of some people is bemusing..

Deadman is trash. He should be cut or sent to Austin.
