The Top Eight Team Statistical Categories in the Logo are:
PPG (Points Per Game)
ReboundsField Goal %
Free Throw %
3pt Field Goal %
Assists
Steals
Blocks
Where do the Spurs and Heat rank amongst these Key Categories. Well they are Top 5 in a combined 9 Categories out of a possible 16 Categories.
SPURS #4 in PPG at 104.7
HEAT #5 at 103.8
HEAT #1 in FG % at 49.6
SPURS #2 in FG % at 48.7
SPURS #4 in FT % at 78.9
SPURS #1 in Assists at 25.1
HEAT #2 in Money Ball (3pt FG %) at 39.3
SPURS #5 in Money Ball (3pt FG %) at 38
SPURS #4 at Steals (Thefts) with 8.75
HEAT #5 at Steals (Thefts) with 8.63
The Categories they are not Top 10 in are Blocks as Duncan for the Spurs doesn't block as many shots as he use to as that's just age. The Heat #1 Shot-Blocker is King James...go figure.
The Heat are not Top 10 in Assists due to in part King James at the Small Forward is their main Facilitator. He is the leading Assists Man in the Logo in the Front Court though.
The Heat are not Top 10 from the Charity Stripe but they are 15th....
Neither is Top 5 in Rebounds per outing as the Heat try to address that area with the pick Up of "Birdman" Chris Anderson. The Spurs were looking to shore up that area as well at the Trade Deadline but chose to stay put as Jazz PF All Jefferson was thought to be a Trade Pick Up Possibility. The Spurs are 17th but the Heat are Dead last and that has to be a concern for them moving forward even though they are on a 14-game win streak.
Now are there any Questions, Comments, or Concerns on the Spurs and Heat getting to the "Fight for Larry"...the 2013 NBA Finals?
