    These are the shooting percentages including preseason.

    Grizzlies 41.8
    Spurs 40.4
    Suns 36.0
    Portland could get it
    Orlando 41.7
    Spurs 36.4
    Philly 33.3
    Pacers 42.4
    Denver 35.7
    Raptors 35.4

    As you can all see, it is not just 3 games, its 10 games.

    If you note the pacers where the highest and it was the game that we looked the worst. This is also the game where the pacers didn't seem to miss a jumpshot.

    These stats are not definitive but they support what I've seen on the court. The rocks are playing great defense and this will determine how successful they are this year.

    Gary Payton.


    HP thinks that getting wide is a bad way to defend...

    I have always been taught that it is a great way to defend, it makes it harder for a guy to get around you....their first step has to be sideways...

    Hawkins is playing it right.
