For every extra basketball mayo or rudy wld score on defense, their piss poor defense wld have given up 2. OJ mayo is a good reg season player, but when its crunch time dis dude vanishes. Take a look at his Dall season, when they were expected to lose he was shootin da lights out. When they came a couple gms from 8th seed, dude barely even shot 40%, it got to the point they were playin mike james over him.
Also, i remember that LA clips series last year n in gm 7, i remember chris paul picking his pocket, n i remember chris paul crossin him over. Wit OJ and rudy gay on da court, means less time for allen and pondexter, n dis team clearly was winnin wit defense. Da only reason SA beat em, is cuz they neutralized big ZBO. they lost 2 gms in OT wit ZBO givin em nuthin for majority of da gms. If they still had wayne ellington n speights off da bench instead of ed davis n t prince on da team, it wldve had a bigger impact on da team.
just my 2 cents
The same low percentage shooting mayo has.
Is indicative of the entire league.
Plus, the low bball IQ era entirely.
Yet, it means versus the spurs.
You need superstar minded players to advance against a healthy a spurs team.
As they are the highest pedigree'd and culture-based coached team in the league.
To beat that team,...
You need a core that consists of proven superstar minded players.
In all actuality,...
The griz are fighting the same type of improperly staffed squad issues.
That have plagued most teams that have lost historically against the spurs.
The rudy-less and mayo purgatory grizz took the impact of beating the father time based spurs team.
As false hope and bravado, that was all they would need to beat anyone.
When,...
Realistically and historically,...
Most older spurs teams have all suffered from legitimately letting a off loss make them retool.
It occurred when Robinson, passed the torch to Duncan.
It occurred when thug life Stephen Jackson was inserted.
It occurred when the small ball backcourt was no longer able to compete in post season basketball effectively.
Which made it so parker, was plugged in and put Gary Payton out to pasture, too.
Same as when ginob's was plugged in as well.
So, for the grizz to take their win over the father time version of the spurs.
A spurs team and FO Looking for a loss like that.
to factually legitimize they need to plug in a new character guy youth movement.
The grizz were showing their inexperience as an expansion team with a low bball iq FO, or coaching pedigree.
The grizz really have no excuse.
They are a franchise team,...
That tried to play get a character based guy culture.
Combined with an athletics based brand of moneyball.
In a league, where superstars win titles, period.
Even the spurs, have an actualized big three.
Plus, a young superstar minded auxilliary players in Leonard.
So, for the grizz to think they can replicate a moneyball culture based team with no superstar attitude minded player.
Was completely ignorant and suffers from what the Chicago bears and other market teams typically do.
Which, is purposeful mediocrity,....
You can not win in the NBA with that mindstate.
This is not baseball, or football.
Where similar to football,...
You get a weighted schedule on par to your results.
So, you can achieve then tank,...
Then take the lighter schedule to get false results to conference championship rounds, via luck of the draw.
In basketball,...
You have to put the best team out there.
Charles Barkley says it all the time.
In our sport,...
The champion really is the best team.
The grizz did not staff a roster made to be the best team.
