AG's Contributions Per Minute Stat for SAS@HOU

by Joe deLarios on Dec 30, 2011 11:41 AM CST

Here are the numbers, read'em and weep

Rockets	0.47		Spurs	0.30
Martin	0.94	23.4	Blair	0.79	28.56
Lowry	0.91	27.18	Splitter	0.58	24.43
Scola	0.69	29.25	Green	0.50	12.28
Dalembert	0.40	20.17	Ginobili	0.37	19.57
Lee	0.35	21.53	Leonard	0.33	24.39
Parsons	0.32	16.34	Parker	0.25	27.05
Hill	0.30	20.32	Joseph	0.18	13.47
Williams	0.21	22.07	Anderson	0.16	21.38
Dragic	0.19	20.42	Jefferson	0.04	27.41
Budinger	0.10	18.01	Duncan	0.04	15.37
			Bonner	0.01	16.21

Inside number is the positive contributions per minute, the outside number is minutes played

We can see that our backcourt was not as dominate as it had been in the first two games. Our frontcourt, outside Tim and Bonner, had a pretty good game.

Front Court Defense Rating SA	-0.223
Back Court Defense Rating SA	-0.447

Front Court Defense Rating HOU	-0.168
Back Court Defense Rating HOU	-0.117

Well, our Front Court defense was not too shabby but we got killed by Houston's backcourt combo of Lowry and Martin. Tony and Manu were put in check and the Spurs paid for it. Considering SA is a backcourt led team now, it is no surprise that they were blown out when their two guards did not produce.

Here is a breakdown of the past three games

	SAS@HOU		LAC@SAS		MEM@SAS
Spurs	0.30	SAS	0.49	SA	0.37
Blair	0.79	Ginobili	1.00	Ginobili	0.79
Splitter	0.58	Jefferson	0.73	Duncan	0.47
Ginobili	0.37	Parker	0.72	Parker	0.46
Leonard	0.33	Blair	0.71	Jefferson	0.41
Parker	0.25	Anderson	0.44	Leonard	0.41
Joseph	0.18	Duncan	0.35	Blair	0.37
Anderson	0.16	Ford	0.27	Anderson	0.37
Jefferson	0.04	Leonard	0.25	Splitter	0.18
Duncan	0.04	Bonner	0.24	Bonner	0.03
Bonner	0.01	Splitter	0.17	Ford	-0.02

FCD SAS	-0.223			FCD SAS	-0.243
BCD SAS	-0.447			BCD SAS	-0.004

FCD HOU	-0.168			FCD MEM	-0.107
BCD HOU	-0.117			BCD MEM	-0.379

and here are the averages of the past three games

Ginobili	0.72
Blair	0.62
Parker	0.42
Jefferson	0.39
Leonard	0.33
Anderson	0.32
Splitter	0.31
Duncan	0.29
Bonner	0.09

Fred will pleased to note that Bonner, you are continually at the bottom for contributions to your team. Surely there is someone out there who could be a more productive big man than Bonner? Also, for the Blair haters out there, he has been our second most dependable player on the floor.

This Duncan guy sucks. We should waive him.

Totally – trade him for Novack

It seemed like Blair and Splitter were the only two who showed up to play last night. They did pretty well against the Dalembert/Scola/Hill front line. That’s the good news. The bad news is that when only the two of them play well, we’re hosed.

Will argue against trading #45 until I am blue in the face and your eyes and ears are bleeding.

We needed Bowen to cover Martin lastnight.

Do or do not! There is no try!

No backcourt production = no W

You think having Neal would’ve helped?

maybe, it seems that the way to beat this Houston team is to slow it down and play in the post as much as possible -

at present we have no post, just a stuby.

No one would have fully helped. It would be minimal changes in context with the game. That game was not winnable unless Houston didn’t show up.

I’m not pleased, athough I do feel more and more justified in my Bonner hate. But it’s kind of ruined it for me. Back in the day, I would write something and half the comments were full of Bonner love, Fred hate. These days, everyone is on the same page. I secretly wish he would stop sucking for a few games so I can stir up some controversy.
