Despite the horrendous start, at 1 point the Clippers were on a 18-2 run, the Spurs battled back behind Vassell and Johnson and got the team into the lead in the middle of the 4th. For a while, things looked good for the Spurs, and then... they simply stopped scoring, and well, they stopped rebounding too. Since I had the Clippers feed, they kept showing the scoring run the Clippers were on. At 1 point, I think I saw 24-7 and thought, well, the Spurs need 3 Holy Mary Touchdowns to win the game. Wrong sport.

Our Starting Post Play was weak today. No excuses! They let Ivica Zubac eat their Puffy Tacos for dinner. and probably got him some Tableside Guacamole as well. 


Spurs Team .406 97.500 It's a wonder they kept it close into the 4th quarter.

Week 2 Points Created Totals will be published this weekend

Rating Scale for PC Effectiveness or Productivity Per Minute                                                    

Above .650 - Superstar category. Typically the Top 30 players reach this level of performance 

for the entire season.              

.550-.649 -All-Stars are in this range, or either just below or above it.                   

.450-.549 - Good players who are sometimes outstanding fall into this category.                

.350-.449 -Regulars. Solid players who are either starters or among a team's first seven or 

eight regulars.                        

.250-.349 -Poor. Players here are mostly rookies or vets whose skills are declining. Could be 

solid at position defense. That EFFORT does not show up on a box score.                

Below .249 - Awful. Players in this category are living life on the edge. Most are soon traded 

or released or sent to the G-League.  

 

Rating Scale for PC per Game Average

All-Star players typically provide a PC Game score above 21+.         

Superstar players typically provide a PC Game score above 25+.
