I mentioned a week or two ago that the Spurs should look at keeping teams to 25-27 points per quarter defensively. They should take it by quarters and it seems Fox said something similar that 27pts is good, but not the 30+ point quarters.You weren't kidding! Fox was very candid here, thanks for linking
I was particularly pleased by him taking time to breaking down the stats of scoring by quarters during the interview; he's clearly aware of what winning basketball looks like -- which was honestly a point of concern for me during the trade, having toiled in Sacramento his whole career.... So that's encouraging.
Also liked him being very real about his role as an asset and the Spurs medical staff's duty and interest in preserving his health as their asset, in stark contrast to Kawhi and his saga. A very mature/realist way of looking at things.
It's not just this year. Usually a lot of these guys that were on the team previously on the team struggle on the road. I don't look at the numbers, but this is one reason I really like how Dylan was playing, he was playing the same way on the road as at home, it didn't seem to deter him if it was a road or home game like it does a lot of young players, Steph I think also plays decent on the road too. Fox no problem for him, so that should help immensely. Champ is one guy that I think does poorly on the road. If he and others can start being more consistent in road games, then the Spurs will have a chance to be a very good team.True. This next game will be a big test. 6-3 Bulls on the road. I feel good about this team at home. It's the road games against .500 and above teams where I want to see how we do. I'll be happy if we break even, or even just a little below, on the road this year.
Also, cool to hear that TD likes what he's seen of Queen so far. I thought he looked good and wasn't sure why everyone here was trashing him or more so the Pelicans for the traded first round pick to the Hawks to get him. I'm sure there was also a poster or two on ST that were very high on him.
