i wouldnt doubt it cuz i few times this year we couuldnt kick the ball into the ocean if we tried and played ty defense
I think the Nuggets havent won without scoring 100+ this season.
Just looking at 2005, the Spurs were 3-8 when allowing 100+
However, against Phoenix in the WCF, the Spurs gave up 100 three times and won twice. I think that in a series where 100 points is the norm, they will adjust.
To me that stat is more a testament to their defense. Only giving up 100 points eleven times in today's NBA is pretty impressive.
A lot of those were games the Spurs gave up...took the night off...didn't try...so it's no wonder they lost them.
Not a bad stat at all IMHO.
I know its a cliche, but in the playoffs you throw out all the stats, numbers, and records.
i don't agree with this totally.
Check our your record when trailing after 3 quarters. Its not as good as you think it would be for a 55-60 game winner.
we had no defense whatsoever last year against the Mavs, almost all of the games were 100+
so yeah, keeping the score under 100 would be ideal
i doubt we'll be 12-2 when letting our opponents score over 100 this coming playoffs
Well Mr. Glass Half full...you could also look at it that more often than not of those 11 games...Pop probably went with small ball for most of the game which led to the 100+ points.
And do you know what Pop is going to end up doing in the playoffs?......Probably some more small ball.
But that's just Ms. Glass Half Empty's guess.![]()

spurs are 0-21 when the other team scores more points.
I wonder if the decision to go smallball was just Pop's decision.
Did the players have input?
If anything the Spurs are methodical, but that means it takes a long time for them to change an aspect of their game. It's been what, 11 months since smallball made it's infamous debut in the semis last year. Spurs game is so etched in stone that to rewrite the script, redefine the heart and hustle to take on an uptempo Sun's/Mavs style requires time and patience.
Do we have time to make smallball work? And more importantly, did we confine ourselves into following a course that now makes it too late to change at this time of the year?
Glad I'm not the coach.
San Antonio is 29-4 this season when scoring at least 100 points. ...
