spurs game

[the addict]

Wow faced paced game so far.

Over bettors should be likin what they are seeing.


My question to hoops gurus:

Is this how the spurs are at their best?

I know clippers are young, but what is best gameplan for spurs...

Trying to learn as much as possible about the pro game....I admit I know little compared to a lot here, although I know more then the average fan.....

Never see spurs play or watch, but can't think they wanna run everygame?

Not fast enough...first half goes under as Griffin can't cash in.:facepalm: SA's half court game is superior to LAC and better defensively..experience rules!!

The Spurs are the seventh fastest paced team in the league, the fourth highest scoring, but most importantly - they are fifth in offensive efficiency, which is a measure of points scored per 100 possessions. Teams that are efficient offensively sometimes also appear to be playing at a faster pace, just because there is way more flow to their game (but often, the two factors are correlated).

Last night, they were particularly efficient, posting a rating of 123.4 (league average is 105.5 and their average is 109.7). They dictated the flow/pace of the game, and it was right in line with their season average (94.1) at 94 possessions/game. Their average offensive pace is 96.3, showing how they speed you up on offense and slow you down on defense (a good team).

So yes, they do play a pretty fast style offensively this year.
