Good point and would agree - without that one key player, the team does often play pretty much just like every other team. No doubt though that the game is changing from a day where big post-up players dominated to one in which most every team emphasizes 3-point shooting. Perhaps the Warriors are ahead of this curve apart from dependence on their mega-star player or just in giving him a setting in which he could best thrive.
- vannevar 11y agoYeah, I would've been convinced if the article had shown that the Warriors were winning with a higher number of threes taken across the board and with players that shot the average or slightly better from three-point range. The thing about a real 'systems' team like the San Antonio Spurs is that they don't need any particular player to put up crazy numbers, and they frequently have a bunch of players in or near the low double figures rather than consistently having a couple of players (often the same two) combining for 50 or more points.
