What does this even mean? "Analytics" would only be wrong if basketball stopped being a #s game.
When has Pop ever shown to ever adjust his style to his roster? Not that there's anything inherently wrong with it, but the Spurs have always been a methodical, stringent, and structured team, who've had the same system in place for decades, and the players either get on board or are either phased out of the rotation, traded, or let go.
"Their best players just aren't comfortable outside the 3-pt line", and you think every other team's main players are? Of course not. That's why players work on their games and expand their skillsets to get more comfortable. LMA was working on his 3-pt shot all summer long, but strangely only attempted 0.5 per game this season. Blake attempted 7 threes a game at 36% this season, do you think he was ever a player who was comfortable outside the 3-pt line, or did he and the coaching staff (from LA to Detroit) adjust his game to benefit the structure/flow of the offense he was the main option scorer on? Why doesn't Pop/Spurs do this with LMA? Why are the Spurs the only team in the league who shoot more long 2s than 3s? Does every other team have these great, natural shooters to lead them, and the Spurs the only team who doesn't?
The thing is they do. Not in the starting lineup but Belli, Mills, Bertans can stretch the floor but they were just awful. And yea no one on that team can defend

They're the same points I were making from the start, yet they were still being "discredited", so you can't use that excuse I'm afraid. Nobody reading those "wall of texts" is half the reason why we no longer have genuine discourse on the game anymore. Folks want it to be one way, but it's the other.It’s bad looks and discredits whatever point he wants to make. Nobody is reading those walls of texts

Both teams shot like ass from the 3 game 7. In fact I think the nuggets shot worse from 3 than the spurs did that game so I don’t get why you made this random ass reappearance for

It's certainly a better recipe than shooting long 2s. That much is for certain. And it's not just about shooting more 3s, it's about structuring the offense around generating 3-pt looks, because it opens up MORE space for other types of shots. You can get a better look from the midrange if you prioritize the 3-pt shot, because of the extra space and less defensive attention, rather than prioritizing midrange shots because defenses are playing you for that type of shot.Wait so you want derozan, gay and aldridge to shoot more 3s
That's a recipe for disaster
This actually makes a lot sense, given that this board is generally clueless about the game, because "dumbass shyt" is actually closer to reality than muh'fukkas like you will ever know.Add more dumbass shyt to your posting history bruhs.....
I really don't see how folks can argue against the Spurs have spacing problems, I mean, if a team is opting to take considerably fewer threes than the rest of the league, how do they think teams are defending them v. other teams? Do people not use common sense and see that defenses are stretched more trying to cover more distance defending 3-pt shots?

They took the 2nd seed to game seven. nikkas acting like the Spurs were a lottery team this year. Foh

This tells me you didn't bother watching the Spurs play this season, or you're completely taking my argument out of context for some unbeknown reason. I'm not sure why you think a team winning 40-odd regular season games warrants a disappearing act, because if that were the case, I would never post anything 'negative' about any team, ever.Still a trash thread, and pulling a disappearing act and coming back after they lose a close game 7?
This isn't about wins/losses as results, but the structure of their offense and how it compares to the rest of the league, I'm not sure why you think referencing their seedings disproves my argument, or for that matter, even addresses my argument. The Spurs had more than enough talent, experience, and coaching to defeat a team who've never been to the playoffs before, but I digress.Credit for what

Actually, most people, in fact, almost everyone was arguing against it.
