Yeah, Morey's in panic mode. Not that McHale was a good coach, I thought he was terrible, but firing a coach rarely turns a team around*.
*i pulled that out my ass. but in my limited recollection, i don't remember it doing so.

Old man Duncan keeps on producing Tim Duncan produced six assists and six blocked shots to go along with his 12 points and 11 rebounds in the Spurs win over the Nuggets on Wednesday night. Duncan, at 39 years, 207 days old, became the oldest player in NBA history to register at least five assists and blocked shots in the same game. The previous oldest player to do that was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who registered six assists and five blocks at the age of 38 years, 273 days old on January 14, 1986. (The NBA began recording blocked shots in 1973-74.) espn.go.com/espn/elias

If they would fix the seeding already we could have it in the championship instead of just the conference.

The Spurs are allowing opponents to score just 88.5 points per game. If that holds for the rest of the season, it will rank as the 22nd fewest points allowed per game by a team in the three-point era and it would be the lowest total in the last 10 seasons. The last time a team held their opponent to 88.5 points or less per game was during 2005-06 when the Grizzlies held opponents to 88.5 ppg.
The most remarkable thing about the Spurs holding their opponents under 89 points this season is that the league is playing at a blazing pace of 96.4 possessions per game compared to the crawling 90.5 pace that the league played at in 2005-06 (per Basketball-Reference.com).
One tactic that is contributing to the Spurs limiting opponent's scoring is keeping them off of the free throw line. The Spurs have always put an emphasis on keeping their opponent off the charity stripe, but this season they've taken it to a new extreme, allowing just 17.3 free throw attempts per game, the lowest total in the history of the league by a healthy margin.
The Spurs' defense has been so stingy (92.2 points allowed per 100 possessions) this season that even with an offense just outside of the top ten, the Spurs' net rating is currently +10.5. That's better than the 2013-14 championship Spurs (+8.1) and over a full season would be the league's 4th best rating in the Duncan era (1997-present). It should be noted that the Warriors currently have an absurd net rating of +16.7, led by an unbelievable offensive rating of 113.7. I'm looking forward to January 25th.

I don't care that they're signing Brett Brown to an extension, bringing in MDA is not going to go well for him. I wish he would leave Philly.
