re: NBA Playoffs Day 9

The big 3 still have to play at a high level for them to win a title and they aren't.

Pickling up where he left off.

Defense or not, Harden can score points with the best of em.

Bench production doesn't mean as much in the playoffs when rotations shrink.

Having players fresh, especially when old, means a hell of a lot.

Well if GSW makes WCF and you meet them and you lose in 4 or 5 I'll be here posting the same stuff I've been posting all year.

I don't know how long it's going to take Houston to realize that Michael Beasley was their second best player the day he joined the team. I don't get why they never want to play him.

the big 3 this year:
Duncan: 25.2 MPG, 48.8/00.0/70.2, 8.6 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 2.7 APG, 107 ORTG, 96 DRTG
Parker: 27.5 MPG, 49.3/41.5/76.0, 11.9 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 5.3 APG, 1.8 TOV, 109 ORTG, 103 DRTG
Ginobili: 19.6 MPG, 45.3/39.1/81.3, 9.6 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.7 TOV, 107 ORTG, 98 DRTG

Their per36:
Duncan: 12.2 PPG, 10.5 RPG, 3.8 APG
Parker: 15.6 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 6.9 APG
Ginobili: 17.6 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 5.6 APG

Career per36#s/ortg/drtg:
Duncan: 50.6/17.9/69.6; 20.1 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 3.2 APG, 110 ORTG, 96 DRTG
Parker: 49.4/32.7/75.3; 18.6 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 6.6 APG, 109 ORTG, 104 DRTG
Ginobili: 45.0/36.9/82.7; 19.2 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 5.0 APG, 113 ORTG, 100 DRTG

So really, their biggest drop off is PPG which Kawhi and LMA have made up for.

But their efficiency and ORTG/DRTG are pretty much on par with their careers...

Boom wrong again...just accept the fact that the "big 3" aren't the focal point to that team. The two who make or break that team against GS will be LMA and Leonard.

He's a defensive liability most of the time. They leave him out there long as he isn't getting toasted on D.
