C'mon man, it's basic logic.
If you're good on defense, a by-product of that may be less fouls, lower score, opposing team FG%, etc...
If you're good on offense, a by-product of that is more points, more FGs, more FT attempts, etc...
If we were talking about any other team that isn't considered to be "dirty" or to be "floppers", there's no controversy. I'm not taking any sides, I can't stand watching the Spurs because they're boring (unless Finley got his J goin).
It's simple common sense, UNLESS you believe that somehow the refs and the league hold the Spurs to a different standard. If that's the case, then SAY THAT; otherwise, you're not really making a point.
Players who are 6-10 or taller made up the top 5 in the overall FG% category.
Taller players play closer to the basket, get easier shots, etc...
Simple logic.
If you're shooting the majority of your shots from 2-5 feet from the basket, you're going to shoot a better percentage than if you were to be shooting 15-23 feet from the basket.
If you actually play good D, you may not be committing as many fouls as everybody else.
Who's arguing?? You mad or somethin? lol
If you're going to compare anything, compare Kobe hittin Manu & Marko Jaric. The Korver thing was something completely different.

nawh...nowhere near mad homie...lol
i hate tha spurs with a passion cuz they are so bland is all and everyone jocks them cuz they supposedly play so perfectly when they dont! I've been watchin atleast 20 games a year from them tha last 5 years or so and i see alot of bullshit they get away with is all.
the logic part aint flyin' homie...if your supposedly so great on defense you're gonna draw some contact here n there which they do but dont get called for. only thing i see from them is they play some pretty good "team" defense but tha 1 on 1 situations there is alot of shit not gettin called for some reason. like i said i watch alot of them boring ass dudes games...even my homie tha huge spurs fan acknowledges they get away with alot of shit...and hes' tha most stubborn dude i fuckin know...lol
on tha kobe situation....yeah you right tha korver deal was totally different...still dont change tha fact that hes a dirty fuckin player just like bowen though....lol

Of course it is.
30 teams -
Someone has to have the MOST defensive fouls called on them
Someone has to have the LEAST defensive fouls called on them
Say it was Houston that:
a) Was considered to be the top defensive team in the league
b) From a statistical standpoint committed the least amount of defensive fouls in the league
Would logic fly then?

It's hard to pay attention to a game when one falls asleep watching it five minutes into it. Every player will get beat off the dribble at one time or another or make a bad defensive mistake. However, a really good defender knows the line between agrressive defense and a foul. And maybe the Spurs get away with a little more because they have proven themselves to be a good defensive team, or maybe they just know the line real well. Maybe they don't get away with more stuff and you are just biased against them. But like I said earlier, fouls are committed when you lose your man and you need to A. catch up to him B. stop an easy basket. So if a team plays good defense there is no reason for the other team to be getting easy basket. That means there is no reason to foul, and therefore the Spurs are the best defensive and commit the fewest fouls.
i think they just know what they can get away with and go from there, they are a smart team like that...still doesnt mean they dont fuckin foul though...understand where i am comin from here?
if you are gonna play that good of defense you are gonna come in contact with tha player you are trying to defend and reach in and what not slap em on tha arms or whatever, there is no way you are gonna completely stop em time in and time out and not touch em at all is all im sayin...the lame ass spurs are not perfect..no team is...i just dont understand why they dont get as many calls called on em and have tha socalled best defense is all.
and yes....watching tha spurs is god awful...lol

Of course they aren't perfect. That's why they still commit fouls. It's not like they average 0 fouls per game. They still commit them, just fewer than other teams. And a good defender might be able to get the ball more often then the hand of the offensive player. I see your point, and I hope you see mine, but this argument can go on for days.
You guys act like there's no such thing as TEAM defense and defensive rotation, lol
Defense isn't just one on one, getting beat off the dribble, then reaching in and getting a steal or a foul.
It's a TEAM effort. You gotta know where the ball is at all times, know when to come over and help, recognize when (and how) to double, recognize when to switch (then when to switch back), "do I go behind (under) the screen or do I fight over the top?", etc...
That's why you have 5 guys on the team

Agreed. Moves like that will get your head stomped the fuck out outside of a regulated game. Bruce Bowen is dirty as fuck, he's known to do it and he KEEPS doing it. History speaks for itself, he's probably injured more players than any other by using his feet to get in position of an opponent's landing space. You don't kick someone's achilles when he goes for the dunk and clearly beat, that shit is ILL-INTENT so he can land awkwardly. There was absolutely no need for him to kick his feet in like that, he's a bitch. I'm surprised more players haven't gone after his ass like Vince and Francis have.
