Barkley is an idiot. What the hell did the Spurs do last year? What did the heat do in 2013?

Heres another one... A long INT is the same as a punt. No its not. Teams score more after Turnovers no matter where they happen on the field than punts.

couldn't I argue that Spurs and Miami's good jump shooting was a product of Wade/LeBron/Tim/Tony/Manu/ ability to do work down low (whether it be driving or post up) while being great passers?
You could argue that and you would be wrong.

Mavs are probably the most blatant example of ringing with jumpers in recent history.

Except Dirk was a monster in the post. A big reason MIA lost and Bron looked so :wrist: was his lack of a post game.

He's not saying you can't win shooting any jumpers or even a lot of jumpers. He's saying that if you don't have a means of getting easy baskets come playoff time your chances of winning are severely diminished. Post play in NBA=running game in NFL. No matter how tired you may be of it and how much you may want it to change it's still the key to winning championships.

Tony Romo isn't clutch.

Most 4th quarter comebacks and GW drives since 06. Highest QB rating in 4thQ+OT in league history.

Clayton Kershaw can't pitch in the playoffs.

Speed up rotation, and still pitches 6+ with 3 or less earned. Loses most postseason games due to run support.

Defense wins (NFL) championships.

Rams, Colts, Saints, Packers all won because of offense. Without David Tyree and Welker dropping a ring, the Pats could have very easily also won 2 more with offense >>>> defense. You don't need defense, you need timely stops.

Chic-Fil-A isn't that good.

08 Celtics and 11 Mavs won off jumpers. If they hadn't fukked around and gotten banned, 04 Pacers could have been a jumpshooting team to win it.

Running the ball is not the key to winning championships.

The biggest reason the heat lost is because they didn't have the spacing. This was before they moved bosh to the 5.

It would've been a much different series if they had figured that out sooner. More spacing, more SHOOTING. Of course you can't win only shooting 3s but these days it is just as important as being able to score inside.
