Guys this Tony Parker in Clippers series..You've got to be kidding me at the difference a couple of months make

shows how much he cares about the team.

[spursistan]

shows how much he cares about the team.

I think he eventually got an earful from Pop about it in the exit interview, tbh..Definitely looks way slimmer in those early Team France drills..We'll see how that works next season..

[TheGreatYacht]

Does Boban speak English? Would he need a translator with him at all times in practice?

[Fireball]

Bobo is the coolest cat in town ... that coffee picture

[TheGreatYacht]

TP got rid of the fade? That looked clean. Would've been dope seeing him and Tim rocking it

[Brox6]

TP9 on revenge mode this coming season.

[T Park]

Boris Diaw is the real most interesting man in the world. Unreal.

[outmap]

I hope Bobo loses some pounds too. (A lot, preferably.)

Bobi speaks excellent English.

The first example I could find:

His English from just the interviews I've seen already sounds better than when Tiago first came over.

Sorry if already answered, but will this be televised?

[Maddog]

Since I don't follow the Serbian national team- How much playing time do you think Marjonovic will get?

[Mamuza94]

I don't know where are u from, probably from US, and i believe that one of US TV will be cover this tournament. It would be weird if will not.

Since I don't follow the Serbian national team- How much playing time do you think Marjonovic will get?

Pretty much. But last year he's not went on World Cup (Mundobasket) with team, so can tell u exactly how many. But i expect from him to play at least 20 minuts per game.

[look_at_g_shred]

Since I don't follow the Serbian national team- How much playing time do you think Marjonovic will get?

If i had to guess maybe..maybe 8-10 mins. It also depends who is and who isn't playing. He should see the floor though as he will go through training camp. Remember when we signed Baynes mid-season, there was talk of how come he wasn't seeing the floor. People forget that training camp is imperative to the knowledge of the Spurs' system.

Thank you!

[Mamuza94]

I was thinking and i have gone too far with Boban's minutes. 15 minutes per game is more realistically. Because of rotations, system of plays...

And, if someone wont to pay to watch tournament, can that here > http://www.livebasketball.tv/

Bobi speaks excellent English.

The first example I could find:

He does speak better than Taigo when he first arrived. I liked how he deflected the praise to the team and not just one guy or one game. Already Spurs material.

[Mnky]

BOBO (and that coffee, reminding me of the Marc Stein ESPN story )

Maybe its the angle and light, but his arms look like they got more definition. I'm not seeing the chub factor people talking about. Hes a pf/c. Not a sf.

Agree Diaw looks good. You can tell a persons weight by looking at the fat under their chin.

I only see a beard ... but otherwise he looks good.

TP as well, but the thing about him being fat was a little overblown ... he was injured for gods sake. But trimming down a little is never a bad thing when ageing ...

, I just want to live Bobo's life.
