It's too bad they have to be away from their families & friends on xmas day or do the families travel with them? (those that can). Or...do they immediately head back to San Antonio after the game?

Mahinmi sighting!

Nice to see Ian already laying 2 on 2's... it could clearly be seen how much more athletic he is thank Oberto...

:lmao @ Vaughn laying a hard foul on Mahinmi in 2 on 2. Maybe Pop told him to do that ... kinda like kicking the tires on a car. Once Mahinmi didn't sprain his third ankle, the Spurs could waive Ahearn and get Mahinmi ready for another trip down to Austin.

Bonner on Howard????? Oh god....

Bonner on Howard????? Oh god....
it could work. matt has active feet which will allow him to stay in between howard and the rim. so long as matt can keep howard a few more feet away from the rim and doesn't allow himself from being posted up, he'll be fine.

Really???? Maybe we should give Bonner some of Bowen's kicking ability....

And even on practice Fab sucks....

yes, really. he doesn't have to out jump howard. just keep him away from the board. and for that you need hustle and energy, something the RED ROCKET!!! has a lot of. easier said than done, of course. but i'm confident RED ROCKET!!! can do it.

Damn, it's good to see Ian playing. When Manu got to 2-2 drills, how long was it before he played his first game, like 10 days?

Pops needs to hurry up and play Ian so he will be good to go come playoff time. Looks like KT has lost some weight maybe that will help his shot.

+1 He really seems like a cool guy to hang out with. And I love how half the interview was Bonner going: "I love me some sandwichs, bitch! And don't bring those cajun ass po' boys around my house!" I guess that is something we'd argue about, cuz I've had po' boys in Nawlins and Galveston, and those are some of the best sandwiches around. Don't know how Potbellies stacks up though, since I've never been there. Damn it, fucker made me hungry. Stupid Subway and Quiznos close too early.:bang

I love these Practice Reports (we talkin bout practice man. what we talkin bout? practice man) ! Thanks! Pop really taking it light on Mahinmi if he's got him working 2 + 2 with Jockstrap, Fab, and Ime. Agree that Fab even sucks in practice, lol. Ime looked kind of pissed. Kurt looked determined, nice to see that stroke. So much made of acquiring Kurt at the time by Pop, and look at him now. Hope he will find ways to contribute...I think Fab may slip behind Kurt in the depth ranks.

That game of 2 on 2 at the end of the clip seemed like the basketball equivalent of the little kids table on Thanksgiving :lol

Come to think of it, won't Ime be giving off distracting aura in the locker room???

LMFAO at JV fouling Mahinmi to prevent the dunk. What a tool.

notice Ian still made the layup..........we hardly every make the shot when fouled.....Hill and Tony are the worst at missing and ruining our chances for an And 1

just curious: do Manu's families live in SA? Or do they happen to be in Argentina on holiday? If the former is true, wow, that sucks living alone...

Only his wife lives in the US. Everyone still ives in the house Manu grew up in. I agree, that is sad. Mrs. Manu needs to start having some kids!

Thanks... I don't think Manu needs help on the having kids department.:lol
He is a stud...

She probably wants to wait on that. Can you imagine a bunch of little Manu's running around the house :lol.

Ha! good catch! That was the affirmation that Bomber is an awkward geek. He's funny as hell

Also, I don't see where some of you guys are saying that Ime looks angry, he looks like he's playing basketball to me. The camera is way too far away to see how he's reacting and I don't know if I've ever seen him smile anyway.

If by awkward geek you mean awesome badass, then yes, I agree.

Ime has looked upset since he arrived. He always looks like that. However, I think this particular season, he seems upset about lack of playing time.

To paraphrase Aresenio Hall's characterization of Robert Parrish, "He mad 'cause his game ugly."

BTW, I have a total sports boner for Mahinmi. If he's a remotely useful pro this year the Spurs are going to be a fucking force.

You have the wrong stereotype, he was a miner as a little kid, that's where he got his freakish strength.:lol

Btw, any word on Dwight playing tomo?

Saying that Udoka is pissed by looking at him playing 2 vs 2 in this video is a huge reach.
Saying that, I'm sure he isn't fine with his playing time. He is now fully in the doghouse. Even when Spurs plays small ball, Pop doesn't play him and rather go with Finley or Bowen at PF. He is just stuck at the end of the bench with Vaughn.
