play the young guns!!!

[hater]

even if we lose by 20+ I enjoy watching the young spurs effort on the court. I think the only solution at this point is let the fans have some fun by watching Hill, and the gang of youthfuls run around.

it beats watching old finley and bonner(and even KT) embarrass our team. I feel bad for Finley but he is done. Pop needs to realize this as he did with Horry.andbonner.... blows.

Keep TD's minutes on 30. doesn't matter if we don't win a single game.

[m33p0]

yup. they have to learn to win games on their own.


p.s. GET CHIP TO WORK ON HILL'S JUMPER ASAP!

Hill's jumper will be fine once he gets over his NBA nervousness. It's about 100X better than Parker's was when he got into the league.

[hater]

I really like Farmer. He's fearless and an energy guy.

[Manufan909]

Indeed. And Mason proved that, once again, he is money. He started off bad, but ending 5-11 on 3's is something to be admired, since he only had Tim to work off of.

[tlongII]

George Hill can't shoot.

[hater]

George Hill can't shoot.

Neither can Vaughn, Finley or Bonner

[benefactor]

George Hill can't shoot.
Greg Oden can't stay healthy.

[Chomag]

George Hill can't shoot.

I think he can he just hasn't had much opportunity to get hot like he was in pre-season.

Also he needs to lose that hand brace as soon as he can because although very little, it takes very little to throw off your shot.

Agreed. George Hill actually has really good form on his shot. This stretch without Parker will be good for him to get comfortable within the system. Once that happens I am sure he will relax and shoot with more confidence. Kinda feel the same way about Tolliver too.

[jbspurs]

We need to play the young guys and trade Bonner, Vaughn and Udoka. Udoka is a good player. But, he is not the right fit for the Spurs. He's so slow, always f---up the ball movement.

[tlongII]

:lol

Hill's jumper is as flat as a board!

[Manufan909]

They can be benched, but noo one would take any of them. And Udoka is one of the few Spurs doing ok this season, worry about Bonner, KT, Fin, and JV. They've given NOTHING. Ime has good defensive skills, scores better than Bruc, Fin, Bonner, KT, Fab, JV, more than half the active roster. So he stays. Shit, they all are staying.

the form is okay. he seems to be squared up for every shot. its the release. too high arching.

[m33p0]

you obviously haven't seen his jumpshot unless you're saying that the board in question is prepped up.

[Manufan909]

He should watch Mason. Dudes shot is even more beautiful than Barry's. He truly is a steal.

[Strike]

George Hill can't shoot.

Greg Oden can't play.

[m33p0]

Greg Oden can't play.
+1

[tomtom]

Sigh, imagine if we had Mason AND Barry. Finley is useless so far.

[m33p0]

there was one play where Money dribbled to his right on the 3pt area, took a shot... sweesh... like it was the simplest thing in the world.

[SpurYank]

I agree. It is time to rebuild. We've had our run. Very few teams can say that. I say we start the same five who started the second half last night, until Tony and Manu get back, Then these players should be the first off the bench.

I would rather watch these young players grow and improve then suffer with players who apparently have given up.

[SpurYank]

... or simply don't have it anymore Nothing wrong with that.

[Borosai]

Yes.

[AusSpursFan]

Good call, they certainly provided much better entertainment value.

[Fermixalot]

I think Farmer has it in him to contribute, but he needs to stop trying to fit in and play his game. He's aggressive and that is what we're going to need on the offensive end, but he passes open shots too often. Once he settles down and (hopefully) becomes competent in our defensive scheme (is there one?) he'll be good.

I was impressed with Tolliver's hustle and energy on the boards. And minus the one horrific miss that bounced off what seemed like the top of the backboard, he was good on the offensive end.

Mason Jr. needs no words, he has been outstanding.

Hill as well has shown defensive tenacity. That rebound he skied for the other night was a great sign and his long reach should serve him well.

A few months with Chip, some defensive lessons from coaching staff, Manu and Tony back and we'll be a good team with some solid role players. They each just have to learn that role.

[Flux451]

Tolliver should up and made an immediate impact. I liked his hustle a lot and high IQ.

Mason is clutch.

Hill looks awkward when dribbling and shooting but is talented. He can take this team over. Seems like he needs to find a rhythm.

Farmer needs to move around more and keep on being aggresive. Take it to the hole shoot or dish. I like his defensive hustle alot.

I think we can stay around .500 by the time Manu comes back. We better

i would be happy going into december with a 9-12 record.

I also dont want to sleep on Mahinmi just yet. Looking at Tolliver play last night just shows that with youth and athletecism we can be better. Its funny cause i was playing NBA2K9 just awhile ago and Ian was in the game. I started him with Tim and WOW what a difference he made. He was blocking shots and grabbing offensive rebounds. Something KT, and Fab just dont do.

Hopefully its a good sign of things to come

[mattyc]

I'm in agreement. The only way these guys (Hill, Farmer, Mahinmi, Tolliver) will get up to speed is by getting game time. Many other sporting examples of teams that invest time into their young kids that reaps benefits.

YES, time for a change. I don't care how many games we win this year. I am only watching now when the young guns are on the floor. I change the channel when I see finley,bonner, or anyone else thats just not bringing it. This is the first time I feel bored when watching the Spurs play. The young guys at least are interesting to watch devolpe their pro game :flag: .

[Indazone]

Actually Pop has no choice but to play the young guns right now. The Veterans are playing like crap and you're right. The younguns are playing like their NBA lives depended on it and you know what? It does. So at least it's enjoyable to watch these guys scrap.

[Indazone]

BTW..when is Mahnimi back?

[hater]

this is me when Bonner, Finley and the old guys in the game:
"oh shit, fuck bonner what the fuck... Finley you suck!!! god damn!"

this is me when the young guys are in:
"come on... nice move Hill... nice hustle! good pass.... Mason!!!"
