Spurs Rank in 3s Postseason - 1 in top 50

and that is 47th. WTF happened to the best 3 point shooting team in the NBA in postseason?

I know what, f-ing defense happened, that's what happened

Look at those stats again – the list includes all players, and the guy in first place made one 3 in 13 games. Pau Gasol made one of two in 10 games, so he gets a high rating as well. The list includes many players who played only limited minutes. Kevin Durant isn’t in the the top 50 either. Defense, yes, partly responsible, but I’d venture to say that Manu’s 32% was influenced as much by the brace on his broken arm than by Memphis defense.

Manu has an excuse but Neal, Bonner, RJ?

Bonner

Neal’s faltering percentages me. Richard, well, he’s Richard.

But Matt Bonner, man, that dude has been MIA in the post season ever since he came to San Antonio. My theory is a massive increase in turkey sandwich intake in the postseason due to stress, an ensuing “high” from the mustard, and increased sluggishness from tripping on the tryptophan. That, or he’s distant cousins with Tony Romo. In any case, it never ceases to amaze me how our Red Rocket’s shooting and whatever tatters of what he calls defensive ability slowly sputter to a fruitlessly futile halt after April.

If Manu were a fish, he'd be a Spanish speaking bat killing shark with heat vision.
