Summer League Game 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So is there any outside the big 4 worth watching for the Spurs?

Green (22) and Tatum (1).

[angelbelow]

hill is back!

[tav1]

ChumpDumper, if you're reading this, where yellow next game. It's kinda like a SpursTalk where's waldo.

[mystargtr34]

:lol these guys are good to watch...dibing everywhere

[coopdogg3]

At least George Hill is back.

[angelbelow]

hill looks big out there, even next to critt whose 6'5

[hater]

damn these guys can't shoot!

[timvp]

Hill handling traps a lot better.

[A.H 21-50]

can we please get shane heal's twin out the game?

:lol

[coopdogg3]

Well Hill can take a hit. They sandwiched him.

[angelbelow]

lol pj tucker, hilarious

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hill building a house of bricks at the FT line.

[coopdogg3]

We have Chip's first project. Hill's free throws.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LMAO, OJ Mayo.

[mystargtr34]

:lol OJ

[Spurtacus]

Damn. Mayo can ball. :lol

[SPURSGOAT]

oh damn! that shot by Mayo... damn!

[benefactor]

Mayo...man.

[angelbelow]

Wow Oj!

[coopdogg3]

Dang it. Screw OJ.

[Obstructed_View]

OJ Mayo.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Fuckin Ovinton with the fullcourt shot.

[tmtcsc]

OJ with a KIller Shot

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well, as hyped as Mayo is you know that's going to be on Sportscenter.

[ceperez]

Yeah, something looks wrong with the way he shoots his free throws.

[benefactor]

Hill handling traps a lot better.
I noticed that too...he is recognizing better before they get there.

[mystargtr34]

Holy shit we have 306 ppl viewing this thread

[tmtcsc]

Hill looks good. Ian still looks frail.

[kjhip1]

not too bad first quarter...d is pretty good..shot selection good..just can't hit open shots...seems like the same old story...

[coopdogg3]

Yeah, something looks wrong with the way he shoots his free throws.

They don't go in.

[Obstructed_View]

So since I just got here in time to see George hit a free throw and OJ hit a half courter, how's everybody look so far?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

What number is Gist?

[mystargtr34]

That was a soft foul on OJ

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Hill with a slip.

[Obstructed_View]

What number is Gist?

3 George Hill
24 James Gist
26 Malik Hairston
28 Ian Mahinmi

[Twisted_Dawg]

Holy shit we have 306 ppl viewing this thread

the hardcore spurs fans

[hater]

damn! Hill best player out there

[tmtcsc]

Hey, when in doubt, tackle the brutha

[ceperez]

Hill looks good. Ian still looks frail.

Ian looks lethargic and heavy.

[timvp]

Mahinmi with a niiiice move.

[kjhip1]

get big ian..nice post

[mystargtr34]

All night Iani all night.
Nice strength there...

[coopdogg3]

Atta boy Ian. Another and 1

[benefactor]

Ian with the nice footwork...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

That was another trip call the damn foul.

[rAm]

3 George Hill
24 James Gist
26 Malik Hairston
28 Ian Mahinmi

I'm glad their numbers are so different.


Really makes it easy with the amazing quality of this video.

[hater]

ok Hill is hoging a little

[coopdogg3]

Dang it George. Careless TO.

[baseline bum]

I remember Parker's first game when he just exploded. IIRC, he had something like 24 points and 12 assists. After that game, the Sonics GM offered Gary Payton straight up for Parker :lol

Obviously Hill isn't going to be as good as Parker was in summer league but let's just hope he doesn't look overwhelmed by the bigger, stronger and faster opponents.

I thought they wanted Daniels and Rose too. Parker's summer league games were incredible. Stephen Jackson's too. Jack absolutely destroyed in the 02 summer league.

[Juanobili]

this is on NBATV right now? Commercial is on right now and my dish network info says it's an WNBA game

[mystargtr34]

mmm George... same move twice in a row got stripped there...

[tmtcsc]

got cute..makes you appreciate Tony's quickness

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Come on Ian.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm glad their numbers are so different.


Really makes it easy with the amazing quality of this video.

Right click and choose zoom/full screen.

[mystargtr34]

Ian should of pounded that on the floor once and jammed it home

[Spurtacus]

Another nice move by Ian. Hill has some TP in him.

[mystargtr34]

Nice move Ian... not much room on the baseline there but he seems to like that move

[ceperez]

Ian got a pretty quick step!

But why does he seem pretty earth bound?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

mmm George... same move twice in a row got stripped there...

He got tripped. That's a foul except in summer league. :lmao

[kjhip1]

ian is getting in whenever he wants..00 is getting eaten up

[angelbelow]

i like ians activeness and agressiveness, hes really drawing in the fouls

[SPURSGOAT]

damn Ian is looking good...

[DMX7]

Arthur is looking solid.

[Spurtacus]

Hairston back in. I think the big 4 are all in now.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Sloppy ass play.

[mystargtr34]

Was that Hairston?

[AFBlue]

Hairston....not inspiring much confidence so far

[Borosai]

Fuck my ISP! I can't even watch the game online. Jerkoffs.

[tmtcsc]

Sweet ! Ian with only his 1st foul

[coopdogg3]

Ian just got his 1st PF, that's a good sign.

[Obstructed_View]

Ian's first foul in the second quarter. Good sign.

[Spurtacus]

Was that Hairston?

I think so. :bang

[Obstructed_View]

Damn, we think alike.

[Spurtacus]

lol

"What player did the Grizzlies just trade away?"

[montgod]

One thing that Hill needs to learn is how to take a team and lead it. He should calm them down and try to slow things down a bit instead of being so helter skelter.

[Obstructed_View]

lol

"What player did the Grizzlies just trade away?"

Yeah, I would have said Pau Gasol, except that I thought he said "just gave away".

[SPURSGOAT]

damn another quick one on ian

[Spurtacus]

That was a clean contest!

[timvp]

Mahinmi's block looked pretty clean.

[GooberNuts]

2 PF on Ian just like that

[brespursfan20]

Playing pretty good considering its their 1st game together....

[coopdogg3]

Mahinmi's block looked pretty clean.

Yeah, Ian got hosed.

And the Grizz take the lead. :lol

[angelbelow]

wow nice hustle

[kjhip1]

dang ian has hops

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Nice Gist block.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gist sends it back to USC air mayo.

I keed, I keed...

[Spurtacus]

Nice D by Gist.

Shooting and ball handling sucks out there.

[SPURSGOAT]

damn hairston looks like the weak link at this point...

[mystargtr34]

Malik needs to show something... but he seems more of a system player to me.

[Spurtacus]

Go P.J.!

Sorry but the Horns fan in me is rooting for him. :tu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Apparently the Spurs didn't put anyone on their team that could shoot....

[timvp]

Damn, Gist can block shots.

[Malik Rows]

Somebody got stuffed

[coopdogg3]

Who got that block?

[tav1]

hill, gist and mahinmi good, hairston not so much

[montgod]

I also wish, as someone else said, that Ian would learn when to jump and go for a rebound and when to go for a block. Looks like he will easily be baited in a foul in the NBA with all that jumping trying to get block.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Go P.J.!

Sorry but the Horns fan in me is rooting for him. :tu

Wonder how many shot clocks he'll dribble out tonight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Who got that block?

James Gist. Dude's a one man block party.

[mystargtr34]

Darrell is giving RC a big FU :lol

[kjhip1]

hill did not get back on D

[coopdogg3]

Yeah, Darrell Arthur is looking good.

[Sway]

Darrel Arthur is having a pretty good game.

[cnyc3]

james gist!

[Juanobili]

damn Darrell

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Darrell is giving RC a big FU :lol

Yeah, I'm sure R.C. will get his feelings hurt in summer league.

[timvp]

Damn, Hairston is going Marcus Williams on us. :depressed

[angelbelow]

damn it, arhtur is looking pretty darn good.

[ceperez]

Man... Arthur is killing us!

[coopdogg3]

Wow, not a proud moment for Mike.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

damn Darrell

Anyone can cherry pick.

[GooberNuts]

rofl at that half court shot

[Spurtacus]

Wonder how many shot clocks he'll dribble out tonight.

:nope



Hairston's shot is fugly. Hill started off good but looks lost out there. Mahinmi has been consistent.

[benefactor]

hill, gist and mahinmi good, hairston not so much
Three out of four? Ill take it...

[Obstructed_View]

Someone needs to tell George that it's okay to shoot. He's looking to facilitate way too much.

[SPURSGOAT]

damn down by 7

[Whisky Dog]

This team can't shoot for shit. Get 'em a fucking beach ball and see if they can hit the ocean.

[coopdogg3]

Nice pass from George.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:nope



Hairston's shot is fugly. Hill started off good but looks lost out there. Mahinmi has been consistent.

What do you expect for Hill? He doesn't have anyone to pass it to that can shoot.

[SequSpur]

George Hill can handle ball, but can he do anything else? Shit... Jacque Vaughn can dribble...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone needs to tell George that it's okay to shoot. He's looking to facilitate way too much.

Ever thing maybe the coaches have asked him to be a set up man? It's summer league, it ain't about winning :lol

[SPURSGOAT]

Arthur is looking good out there... still like our hill pick at 26.

[objective]

It's a annoyance that Adeleke is number 29. Makes it hard to tell when it's him or Mahinmi on the court.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tolliver appears to be the only one capable of hitting a jump shot.

[angelbelow]

i like green too, hopefully he can show us something.

[Borosai]

How quick is Gist? Does it look like he can defend at the SF position?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Sweet, the UCLA scrub Eminem wannabe is in.

[SequSpur]

Tolliver appears to be the only one capable of hitting a jump shot.

yep

[kjhip1]

damn i thought we saw the last of POWDER

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Green hits a three. Maybe we have a shooter yet...

[mystargtr34]

Kevin Green looks nice.

[coopdogg3]

i like green too, hopefully he can show us something.

Well, he hit a 3.

[Spurtacus]

On the plus side, the Spurs D has looked good in the first half.

[benefactor]

Green>Hariston at this point...

[mystargtr34]

:lol where did i get Kevin from

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

yep

To be fair Hill hit his first jumper from outside. He's had to rush the shot clock once and the other miss escapes me.

It's clear they have asked him to be a set up man, he's passed up several jumpers to break down the D and/or set up Ian inside.

[SPURSGOAT]

Ever thing maybe the coaches have asked him to be a set up man? It's summer league, it ain't about winning :lol

I know it is only summer league, but still want the win. LOL!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gist is looking like a nice bench energy guy who can come in and play some D, block some shots and energize the team and crowd.

[timvp]

Spurs need to not run the motion offense every time up the court.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow that fat guy got out of his seat really fast. Nice that he just abandoned the lady next to him. Hope she's not his date.

[SPURSGOAT]

damn we just got schooled...

[Spurtacus]

P.J. just owned the Spurs.

[oligarchy]

Gist is looking like a nice bench energy guy who can come in and play some D, block some shots and energize the team and crowd.

If he can bring his game out away from the basket, he'll definitely be a good pickup.

[tmtcsc]

man, that was close. Thought ian picked up his 7th foul

[coopdogg3]

Not sure which Spur drew the charge, but good work.

[cecil collins]

P.J. just owned the Spurs.

That was pretty nice. I hope he catches on somewhere, but his skill set may not fit the league.

[oligarchy]

scooooooore.

[coopdogg3]

Charge!!!

[Spurtacus]

That was pretty nice. I hope he catches on somewhere, but his skill set may not fit the league.

He's got a decent game but still undersized. He was the Israeli league MVP last year. :lol

[tmtcsc]

Does anyone else remember going to UTSA to watch Spurs practice in DRob's rookie season ? I remember watching the Midwest Rookie Revue when we hosted it and watching Willie Anderson and Vernon Maxwell going at each other in practice.

The speed and skill of NBA athletes (up close) is incredible.

[Doug Collins]

That was pretty nice. I hope he catches on somewhere, but his skill set may not fit the league.

His douchebagery is sure to catch on somewhere, probably eastern europe or russia.

[Whisky Dog]

SRV on the PA during the timeout has been the highlight so far.

[coopdogg3]

Did Ian just get a block?

[Doug Collins]

He's got a decent game but still undersized. He was the Israeli league MVP last year. :lol

...or the middle east.

[tmtcsc]

Good Gawd, with all that, Hill is still our second leading scorer with 6 pts.

[tav1]

I'm not sure I liked Bud's coaching that half. Hill looks solid, but Arthur looks better. Although, this is Hill's debut vs Arthur's 3rd or 4th game.

[loveforthegame]

4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks for Gist. Not bad for under 10 minutes.

Sounds like Hill, Gist, and Mahinmi are showing something. Hopefully Hairston is just having one of those games and will be better next game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The dancing banana is awesome.

[kjhip1]

I'd hit it...

[Whisky Dog]

Hill - Not a bad start.
Mahinmi - active, still fouls a lot
Gist - active with some nice athleticism
Hairston - king of suck

[ElNono]

I was hoping to see Ian more dominant, at a NBA-ready level. Maybe he's having a bad game. At this level he's going to get abused in the NBA.
Kurt Thomas better be still available.

[tav1]

Gist is promising.

[Spurtacus]

Wow. Halftime entertainment.

[BiZNicK]

LMAO

peanut buttuh, jelly time!!!

[coopdogg3]

I'd hit it...

And she's willing to go to a Summer League game as well.

[mystargtr34]

that was some funny shit... i think i saw ChumpDumper in there somewhere.

[underdawg]

The dancing banana is awesome.

Where does that come from? The first time I saw it was on Family Guy

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I was hoping to see Ian more dominant, at a NBA-ready level. Maybe he's having a bad game. At this level he's going to get abused in the NBA.
Kurt Thomas better be still available.

Um, I don't think the Spurs have ever considered it an either/or proposition with Thomas and Ian. By all accounts the plan is to bring up Ian and bring back Kurt.

Gives Ian a mentor, the Spurs depth and veteran poise at the center position

[Doug Collins]

omg coldplay!!!!

[Spurtacus]

Hill - Not a bad start.
Mahinmi - active, still fouls a lot
Gist - active with some nice athleticism
Hairston - king of suck

Agree with all of that. Ian's been solid out there. Did he have 3 or 4 fouls? I think he had a clean contest on one of them.

[Obstructed_View]

Can anyone get 200% zoom to work?

[2centsworth]

STATS anyone?

[objective]

Anyone else disappointed with Mahinmi's rebounding and defense? He looked better in d-league.

Gist looks like an NBA player. Maybe not a rotation player, but I could see him on a 15 man roster.

Hill's stats aren't great with 0 assists and 2 turnovers.

Hairston is largely invisible. Isn't he wearing Marcus Williams' old jersey number?

[tav1]

I was hoping to see Ian more dominant, at a NBA-ready level. Maybe he's having a bad game. At this level he's going to get abused in the NBA.
Kurt Thomas better be still available.

Ian is quick with some nice moves, but needs to play much bigger and stronger. He settles for shit position. It'd help if the guys knew when to get him the ball, but he looks like a marginal rotation guy right now. Could be much worse, and he has a lot of improvement in front of him.

Arthur, too, has a bright future. Memphis should be happy with Mayo, Gay and Arthur as a young core. Too bad Conely and Crit suck my left nut.

[kjhip1]

ian is still raw...he has potential but remember all he has seen is garbage time in the NBA...I really would be statisfied if he could score at least 8 points and pull down at least 6-8 boards per game...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Can anyone get 200% zoom to work?

The only thing that works for me is either 100% or full screen.

[Buddy Holly]

Hill's stats aren't great with 0 assists and 2 turnovers.

Everyone he passes to misses.

[kjhip1]

so what do we do now?

[Solid D]

Ian can block shots but I'm sorry, he's still a young pup and not looking ready for NBA prime time.

Hill needs to add some muscle so that he won't get pushed out of the play....and relax. He may have some 1st game jitters. He did get back on D well to ruin a transition score.

Gist looks to have great hustle and kept several trips alive, early-on.

[Obstructed_View]

It's really hard to draw any conclusions at this point because everyone's trying to play as a team, which they clearly aren't yet. Nobody knows where anyone else is going to be and nobody wants to take too many shots. Nice to have a team of unselfish guys.

As mentioned, George can't shoot the ball for the guys he passes to, so he should just freakin' shoot.

Dynasty your sig is a pain in my ass.

[timvp]

Decent enough first half. Spurs looked good coming out of the gates but then their offense shut down. They came out running on adrenaline and then it looked like they got tired. Hopefully they can pick it up in the second half.

-Hill's defense has been good. He came out aggressive offensively but then turned massive for the last 15 minutes of the first half. Decent not great ballhandler and playmaker so far. Good speed and agility. He needs to up his energy offensively and start forcing the action.

-Mahinmi started off slowly but he's made a few good moves on both ends. With the ball, he can overpower the Grizzlies defenders. Hopefully he can look more dominant in the second half.

-Gist looked pretty damn good. Mobile and quick defensively. Three very nice blocked shots. Offensively he attacked the rim nicely. He looks like a power forward more than a small forward, though.

-Hairston has been largely missing in action. Few decent boards but his jumper has been way off. Athleticism isn't impressive so far -- neither is his size. Let's hope he shows more in the last two quarters.

Not bad but need better showing from the Spurs in the second half.

[timvp]

STATS anyone?

http://www.nba.com/summerleague2008/games/boxscore.jsp?gameId=1520800018

[tav1]

Everyone he passes to misses.

That's deceiving. His court vision doesn't look bad, and he's found some open players. No one is hitting, though. Hill looks decent, nothing to get hot about, but he's definately an NBA player, it seems.

[cecil collins]

The only thing that works for me is either 100% or full screen.

Are you on Timvp's link on page 4? It's working fine for me on that.

[ElNono]

ian is still raw...he has potential but remember all he has seen is garbage time in the NBA...I really would be statisfied if he could score at least 8 points and pull down at least 6-8 boards per game...

You mean in the NBDL? I don't think he can't put those numbers up in the NBA right now.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Dynasty your sig is a pain in my ass.

:lol Why?

[mystargtr34]

underwhelming is the way id put it.

[tav1]

Yeah, just based on this half I'd say Gist is an energy 4, not a 3. But, that's fine, because he looks good. I'm already ready to see him in a Toro uniform. Hairston on the other hand...

[timvp]

Mahinmi with a slowwwww rotation.

[Spurtacus]

I hope we hit 70 points...

Hairston 3 fouls, 0 points?

[SequSpur]

Ian can block shots but I'm sorry, he's still a young pup and not looking ready for NBA prime time.

damn for a change, you might be onto something...

my initial impression of George Hill is he ain't ready for the big time. It's obvious he played in some po dunk College league. I would like to see him put up some points in the second half.

[oligarchy]

-Gist looked pretty damn good. Mobile and quick defensively. Three very nice blocked shots. Offensively he attacked the rim nicely. He looks like a power forward more than a small forward, though.


Gist is definitely looking impressive at this point. I figured the Spurs would try to play him as a 3, but he doesn't look to be moving out. He does have the quickness though, but it also works well in the post for him.

[Buck Harvey]

Hill...scribble scribble...Gist...got it.

[Obstructed_View]

Are you on Timvp's link on page 4? It's working fine for me on that.
Ah, well done. Thanks.


:lol Why?

I'm running half and half because I don't have two monitors in here anymore. Every time I type a post when his sig is on the screen, it jumps back and forth because the sig is so wide. No biggie, it just popped into my head while I was typing.

[Spurtacus]

Damnit. Put a shot up.

[mystargtr34]

Did Ian just get pulled in a Summer League game

[Obstructed_View]

Funny that guys won't shoot with someone counting down the clock for them.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Ian getting pushed around too much for my liking.

[Obstructed_View]

Ah, a flop from George. He's a Spur after all.

[timvp]

Mahinmi benched for the slow rotation.

[Spurtacus]

Ah, well done. Thanks.

There are other bigger signatures out there. :)

[timvp]

Hairston giving me Finley flashbacks.

[Mr. Body]

One thing that Hill needs to learn is how to take a team and lead it. He should calm them down and try to slow things down a bit instead of being so helter skelter.

He's not a point guard.

[objective]

Is Ian avoiding contact when setting his picks on purpose? I don't think an opposing guard as touched him all game.

[Obstructed_View]

There are other bigger signatures out there. :)

Not by people that are watching this game. I was just kidding; it doesn't bother me at all.

[Spurtacus]

Hairston giving me Finley flashbacks.

:bang

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, a jumper.

[kjhip1]

i freakin hate all these damn whistles

[romad_20]

Damn refs are costing us this game! :lol

[mystargtr34]

Is OJ out there in the 2nd half?

[coopdogg3]

wow, weak foul on Hairston.

[Spurtacus]

Not by people that are watching this game. I was just kidding; it doesn't bother me at all.

I'll take it off. Maybe they will play better after that. ;)

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, waive Hairston and sign Tolliver. Kid can shoot.

[coopdogg3]

Tolliver is on fire baby!!

[GooberNuts]

Tolliver has a nice stroke

[coopdogg3]

Y'all ready for this?

[Spurtacus]

Damn, waive Hairston and sign Tolliver. Kid can shoot.

:tu

[mystargtr34]

Hill with his first assist

[Obstructed_View]

I'll take it off. Maybe they will play better after that. ;)

Maybe I should stop watching, they had 17 when I got here and they've scored 16 since.

[completely deck]

me likey Tolliver!

[mystargtr34]

Ebe Ere, MVP of the Australian League

[mexicanjunior]

From what I've seen, Gist is the best rookie so far. Hill and Ian have done nothing to show me they can play solid rotation minutes. They better have Vaughn and KT's conditioning ready for another heavy workload next year...

[Spurtacus]

Where's George Hill's quickness? He hasn't attacked the rim since the first quarter.

[tav1]

From this, I'd say Ian is not NBA ready and that we'll regret not drafting Bill Walker at 45.

[Obstructed_View]

I thought he was supposed to be a scorer. He's a good flopper though.

[mystargtr34]

Ian hasnt done anything positive or neutral since about 5 minutes into the 1st

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hmmm, Tolliver. 6'9", 240 pounds. Ditch Bonner, sign this kid :hat

[mexicanjunior]

Darrell Arthur is a beast, he would look good next to Duncan...tis a shame.

[coopdogg3]

Green can not hang onto the ball.

[GooberNuts]

ooooo who had that block?

[Mr. Body]

Dear God, the Spurs have needed a long three and scoring badly and they pass on the guy who could give both at that position for a supposed combo point who's clearly a second round player.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, Powell just roofed #15 for Memphis on the fast break. Who was that that got stuffed?

[Spurtacus]

Nice block.

P.J. Tucker continues to own the Spurs. WTF.

[completely deck]

Powell with a hell of a block

[cecil collins]

Kick ass block by Powell.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Dear God, the Spurs have needed a long three and scoring badly and the pass on the guy who could give both at that position for a supposed combo point who's clearly a second round player.

Ehhhh CDR is undersized even for a 2 IMO.

Ehhhh CDR is undersized even for a 2 IMO.

Donte Greene.

*sigh*

Why do I continue to watch...

Wow, Powell just roofed #15 for Memphis on the fast break. Who was that that got stuffed?

Not familiar with him, but Grizzlies roster says Alan Anderson of Michigan state.

The Spurs need to wake up or else this will be a pretty disappointing start to summer league 2008 :depressed

[Whisky Dog]

Dear God, the Spurs have needed a long three and scoring badly and they pass on the guy who could give both at that position for a supposed combo point who's clearly a second round player.

Arthur's not a 3, he was a center at KU. Too slow to be a three with too weak of an outside shot.

Still could have helped a lot, and will look like a big time blunder if Hill struggles and Arthur goes nuts this coming season.

The Summer League is rigged.

good shoot by ian

[Obstructed_View]

I love that they play "Jump" for a free throw.

Nice range, Ian.

I hope this is all nerves and not playing in a system.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Damn, Ian got wholloped.

[cecil collins]

Was that a flop by Ian.

[Whisky Dog]

Looks like TD will be the only big worth a shit and TP will be the only PG worth a shit on this team next season.

The big 3 better get rested for some big time heavy fucking lifting once again. Just not enough done right by the FO to surround a great trio in these last years of Duncan.

[kjhip1]

ian is not having that bad a game...he can get his shot when he is in the post whenever he wants...
