PrintFred and I took a two game hiatus, but I'm back to bring you some interesting stats on the game....promise.
No music. Anyone else get the new 30 Seconds to Mars album? I'm so disappointed in it. It just flat-out sucks.
Stats/Talking Points
1. Rebounding Domination: We out-rebounded them 54 to 34. After bleeding offensive boards to the Suns, we out-rebounded them on the offensive glass 12 to 6 while shooting a higher percentage (8 less missed shots). Of their 6 offensive boards, only one was made by a big, Randolph. The other 5 were all to 1's and 2's.
2. Points in the Paint minus Fast Break Points: I need a name for this stat. I know it isn't an exact number, but I think it is a great approximation of half court offensive efficiency in terms of getting high percentage close range shots. I guess in reverse it would be a measure of defensive efficiency in the half court. Golden State had 32 points in the paint and 18 fast break points. The Spurs had 48 points in the paint and 8 fast break points. That is a 40 to 14 advantage Spurs.
3. Sharing the Ball: Not only did we have 9 players with assists and 6 different players with at least 3, but our bench had 14 assists vs our starters' 12. They had less turnovers as well (7 to 13). Overall, a good night with 26 total assists on 39 FGM for a very nice 67% assist ratio. If Bonner and Mason weren't so cold then those numbers could have even been more bloated. This was a road game as well where the scorekeepers don't have to be generous with away team assists.
4. The Lucky: We won this game by 12 and got to rest Duncan the last minute or two, but keep these things in mind:
A. No Moore, Biedrins, or Turiaf probably helped out Duncan and Blair's offensive nights and our team rebounding.
B. They shot 1 of 10 for three and not all of those were contested. That is some real luck against GS. We also, by some FSM miracle, made 20 of 23 free throws to their 16 of 22.
C. 20 turnovers....The Spurs need to make this the top priority. I don't think I've ever seen so many lazy passes by the Spurs. Even in spite of our +20 rebounding advantage, the Warriors were still +6 FGA's on at -10 turnover advantage.

It’s like a Japanese animated speed version of 2001: A Space Odyssey combined with Planet of the Apes and Heavy Metal. And a splash of the Ravel section of Allegro non troppo. Time-traveling rock-and-roll monkeys.
I have flying monkeys at my disposal, and I'm not afraid to use them.

Thank goodness you could describe it – I have no words for how awesome that is.

From the very first time you chose to describe something that was not easily captured in words, and did so with such seeming ease, I’ve been in near awe at your powers of wordsmithing.
This is just the latest example, but I thought it deserved a rec, and a mention, nonetheless.
A JTU for you.

another stat or fact: we just won our first SEGABABA of the season and it only too 4 attempts…13 more to go…
6 of our 10 losses have come in SEGABABA’s or FIGABABA’s….
Utah is the only team to beat us on the road in a game that wasn’t part of a BABA.
That’s great, although there’s really no reason to lose FIGABABAs.

…hmm. Well maybe Blase is taking into account that Pop is prone to give his players less minutes if they have to play again the next night. Thereby theoretically decreasing the chances of winning the first game.
...Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is forty five.
Well maybe if we were down by 7 with 2 minutes to go, Pop might say “F*ck this, let’s rest our starters for tomorrow.” But why would we be down by 7 with 2 minutes to go, in the first place?

Cannot beat it. I guess I now have to classify my love for the preview button as platonic.

We actually did average last season in SEGABABA’s and one game above average in FIGABABA
On the season, we won 54 of 82 games for about 66% which is about 2/3rd’s.
On FIGABABA’s, we won 13 of 18 for 72%.
On SEGABABA’s, we won 12 of 18 for 67%.
So in non-baba games, we won 63% of the time (29 of 46 games) vs opposed to winning 69% of our baba games (25 of 36). I’m obviously not looking at strength of schedule (yet) so I’m not entirely sure what we are to glean from all of this.
Our next 4 BABA’s:
@ Mil, @ NY
@ Wash, @ Tor
LAL, @ OKC
@ Cha, @ Mem
We’re going to win 7 of the 8. OKC is going to beat us yet again. They may be the new Bucks or something even though the Bucks swept us last season….
That will put our BABA records to:
FI: 5-3
SE: 4-4
TOT: 9-7
which will still be disproportionate to our non BABA record of something like 19-5. I’m being optimistic here but the SoS is really weak right now. I have us losing Lakers or @ OKC and Dallas or Portland, but only OKC is an away game of the 4 so even those 4 games aren’t as bad as they could be. That would be a 28-12 record looking at an @ NO, and then a 6 game homestand with LatinD’s mojo set to arrive somewhere in that stretch. Then we head off to the RRT and 3 weeks without a home game. Our first RRT games would also be our next BABA (@ Sac, @ Por).
Hopefully some of this proved interesting….
