Jar Jar Binks "gungan" throwdown

i was more impressed how much attention he was paying to pop during that timeout with 1:12 left and wasn't even going into the game.

Ha ha...Kevin Love pwned.

[honestfool84]

glad to see all the 'f Pop and RC for picking hill' threads are gone!

[TDMVPDPOY]

u call that a block

[Obstructed_View]

u call that a block

Yeah, that's what it was. Would you like someone to explain it to you?

[Obstructed_View]

And that dunk wasn't all that spectacular. I'm glad he got it but it's an indication of how un-exciting the Spurs are from a dunking standpoint.

[Kori Ellis]

Do you want to know why it excites Spurs fans? :lol

The Spurs team has 20 dunks total for the year. Last in the league. The nearest team to them is the Pacers with 51.

The Nuggest lead the league with 187.

God I hate this non-athletic roster...probably the least athletic in the history of the modern NBA.

Exactly...we are starved. :lol

:lol Awesome!

[hater]

maybe they should all switch to Jimmy's special shoes

[T Park]

Big freaking deal.

A layup gets just as many points as a dunk.

All this "we need more dunks" bs, is new york like horsecrap.

[it's me]

We need to save the dunks for the finals…..

I envision KG under Bonner’s sweaty nuts being game seven winning poster.

Georg Hill is the protector of the rim ST always wanted!!!:lol

[DPG21920]

I just saw Mr. Hill at Best Buy

[Manufan909]

Did you say anything to him?

[DPG21920]

Did you say anything to him?

He was on his phone standing next to me talking, so I just gave him a "whats up" nod. Did not want to bother the guy.

two points is two points and i agree that dunks are overrated, but the ability to play above the rim is an undeniable plus. Throwing in high scooping layups like TP and manu do is a lot harder (and underappreciated) than getting up there and making sure it goes in, but the dunk is the stronger play. how many times have you yourself gotten pissed with rasho, nazr, oberto, thomas complete inability to catch and dunk? they'd almost always lay it up and in the playoffs a swatted layup is like a double turnover. not to mention dunkers are less likely to be screwed with a non-call. if you're in the circle and going hard at the basket, its almost guaranteed FT and a foul for the other team's frontcourt..

the same with blocks. If you cant get up and play in that area of the court, but are very skilled on the rest, you can beat a team whose biggest strength is athleticism. but if you are playing an evenly matched team, that has the ability while you don't... it can totally burn you. its one thing to not be the fastest, and another to not be able to reach part of where the action is.

so hurray for hill, i want to see more of that. just be careful where you land!

[DMX7]

You were watching the Wolves broadcast?

[DMX7]

I just saw Mr. Hill at Best Buy

which best buy was it?

[DPG21920]

which best buy was it?

1604 and Gold Canyon

[wisnub]

Dunk is a good thing..it excites fans, flame your teammates and got better chance to go in than middle jumper, all opponent can do is foul him and NBA dunk is a definite two points unlike jumpers. In the early days, fresh leg Duncan dunks alot with authority with nobody can stop him. Nowadays he is quite unstopabble as well,but sometimes when he got a bad day shooting maybe he should think about dunking that ball just to make sure, I know it must be harder than its sound. I rarely see him dunk nowadays but that is understandable beacuse even Shaq dunk less than he used to..its a win that counts. Good thing we got fresh new legs with Hill,Mason and probably Bonner dunking once in a while.

[Manufan909]

For the crazy stat buffs, who is top 5 in dunks? Dunks may be important, but I don't think Spurs fans would want to be among that group(unless I'm dead wrong, and 3 or more of those teams have better records). Hopefully when Ian gets back, he can significantly up that area.

And I think crazy, how the FUCK did he do that layups from Tony/Manu are almost as good as dunks. Can't wait til Manu is back up to speed and can start making posters again, though.

[Rohirrim]

Why Dunk?

I guess you have never seen oberto or Bonner get stuffed by guards before.

[spurs1990]

Yes...I love having the Spurs involved in the TWO LOWEST finals series OF ALL TIME.

[Austin_Toros]

God I hate this non-athletic roster...probably the least athletic in the history of the modern NBA.

i know how you feel man
if we had ended up getting JR Smith it would have been a different story.

anyway, its nice to see hill playing with confidence. his "down the chimney" and block were great! :king

:lmao Amazing.

Anyway I'm taking Tim's 15footer bankshot over a dunk any day.

[timtonymanu]

The FO striked again with Hill, Hairston, and Gist all in one draft. all low picks.

[Kori Ellis]

The only problem with not dunking a lot is that it usually means a team is a little weak around the rim and doesn't get many And 1's. For example, the Spurs team is nearly last in the league in And 1's. I'd rather they were a little more aggressive around the rim and got to the line some more (though I don't care if they actually dunk or not).

[ducks]

I would rather see the makes from downtown then dunks
dunks are just two points just like a layup

I guess it's wrong to try and be a little entertaining. See what gets the crowd more excited, a dunk or a layup.

...that's why crowds at the AT&T suck.

[mrspurs]

Good one Kori. I used to think the dunk was so overrated. I kinda remember the dunk when it was something only done in practice. I like our spurs of course. But those dunks sure do bring the crowds alive for sure. Those alley-oops are even more crazy. They can pump up your team as well. If Manu had someone who could jump a little in the paint as well as catch. He and whomever he was passing to would have a field day above the rim.
