RE: Dampier - 73 million, Devin Harris...
i have a hard time counting blocks allowed and block differential as defensive stats.
anyway, we could go back and forth all night. all it will prove is that you can find a stat to back up anything.
like:
SA only gets 1.3 more blocks/game than Dallas.
Dallas is #4 in TO differential
#9 in opp TO's
#5 in TO's
ahead of San Antonio in all 3 categories
SA ranks 29th in the league in opp 3%
I'm just pointing out that this team hasn't just improved defensively, it's one of the better defensive teams in the league, and doesn't have the anemic offense we've come to associate with good defensive teams.
