Thoughts from a high man...

[Canibspur]

Ok, so here I am. Just smoked a nice bowl and feeling insightful. New user on the forum but I have been reading threads the last two seasons.

So the Spurs vs the Clipps tonight. Should be an easy "W" on any night in our house. And it is. Just like we wanted and that allows you to think about more important things in terms of the season instead of this specific game. So this is what I stuck on.

Duncan
Gooden
Mason
Ginobili
Parker.

Think of each of these players by themselves. Understand what each individual is capable of on any particular night. Remember all the individual accomplishments all have had. Now picture them all on the floor at the same time...... What team has 5 that match up well against these? Seriously, can any team play these five straight up? Easy answer is No. So theres the next question. Who do you double off of? You can never pick the right guy to come off of when you want to double another. Its just too easy for anyone to get the shot they desire. We got to see how great this team is now. Yes its the lowly Clippers in town but thats not whats important. Look how well the chemistry was tonight. Now realize how much better this chemistry will be with these 5 getting more minutes with eachother every game. Spurs dont face any more injury problems this year, and this thread will be bookmarked and resurfaced at the right time with a reaction of.... "Whoa..... I got to start smoking more weed! That shit will make you smarter than Socrates. I know the Effing future man."

Thanks for reading. Im new on here and I will make one promise. I will only post on here when I am stoned like a witch in church. Enjoy your night everyone.

Beautiful.

However, I don't think Pop is quite as insightful, so although it makes sense to most other human beings, this lineup might not make sense to Pop. And it will never cease to confound me.

you know, I don't get off to peeps gloating about smoking dope...sorry...it's illegal.

but i agree with your take though.

[ElNono]

I think it's going to be Kurt Thomas in there instead of Gooden. You know, we need to play defense at the other end too.

[Spursmania]

Yes, probem lies in the defense. Now go smoke some more weed and contemplate that problem.

[jaffies]

Pretty damn coherent for a stoned post.

Are you aware that marijuana is an illegal substance? If you were not, please contact your closest law enforcement agency and they will provide guidance on how best to dispose of it. The PSA ads on TV about drugs are full of interesting tidbits from frying eggs in a pan to uninterested youth possibly in search of their lost Bibles or some such.

Good luck.

I take it this is the way you feel IRIE. I find it much cheaper and more legal, to make a Mojito.

Without Camby, whatever little interior presence they had, went down with his bad ankle.



So this is what I stuck on.

This could only work in limited minutes and I'll tell you why...
There is only 1 basketball. It's hard enough to get it in the right players hands when the big 3 are in the game. Situationally though, this could work.
Practically every team that has tried to go with a 5 team superstar lineup has failed miserably. I finally started to watch pro hoops intently during the Dr. J's first year in the NBA as a Sixer.

This was their lineup:
Doc at SF
George McGinnis at PF
Caldwell Jones and Darryl"Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins at Center
Henry Bibby at PG
Doug Collins at SG
They had Joe "Jelly Bean" Bryant, Lloyd AKA World B. Free, Harvey Catchings, and Steve Mix as their bench guys. Gene Shue was the coach and from an offensive standpoint that team could score with anybody...but here is the ISH...what happens when you stop scoring? It's like Pop says, you can't always have a good shooting game but you can ALWAYS play defense. Will Gooden and Mason be able to play that championship level D when needed? Have they EVER shown that they are capable of doing so?
That is why on a Pop team, there are defined roles for everybody. And players accept that because they know, that doing so, gives the team the best chance to win.

That Sixer team lost to the Blazers led by Bill Walton and Maurice Lucas, but who ever heard of guys like Bobby Gross or Dave Twardzik? Why Portland won that championship is simply defined as this...CHEMISTRY.

http://www.nba.com/sixers/history/index.html#1976-79


. However, the Blazers had team chemistry and a big guy named Bill Walton. They rallied from an early two-game deficit to win four straight and claim the title.



So theres the next question. Who do you double off of? You can never pick the right guy to come off of when you want to double another. Its just too easy for anyone to get the shot they desire. We got to see how great this team is now. Yes its the lowly Clippers in town but thats not whats important. Look how well the chemistry was tonight.


I got called away for the 3rd quarter but for the game, did those 5 play together at all? For some situational sets, I could see Pop going with it, but I can't see that being a full time thing.



Now realize how much better this chemistry will be with these 5 getting more minutes with eachother every game. Spurs dont face any more injury problems this year, and this thread will be bookmarked and resurfaced at the right time with a reaction of.... "Whoa..... I got to start smoking more weed! That shit will make you smarter than Socrates. I know the Effing future man."

Thanks for reading. Im new on here and I will make one promise. I will only post on here when I am stoned like a witch in church. Enjoy your night everyone.

Chemistry is huge, and asking for Gooden and Mason to develop it with The Big Three, with 2 of them coming back from injuries will not make it easy. But having said that, I still feel that the team has enough, provided they are HEALTHY, to come back and SHOCK THE WORLD.
When it happens, I hope your high is a natural one.

I thinking you are hitting it too hard if you can call Gooden a solid go to guy yet. The potential is there, but honestly what made him look good tonight was Manu.

Someone said it earlier. Manu is the missing piece of our 2nd set rotational players(and everything else for that matter). Parker obviously is the one who sets the tone on offense when he is out there, but when he goes to the bench we had no one who could take charge. Manu comes back and all the sudden everything seems to fit in place.

By TP and Manu just stepping on the floor they make everyone else better. Period.

He looked badass in a couple games without Manu(especially the 3rd game against the Rockets), and only bad if Pop wouldn't call post plays for him. On O anyways, he has yet to look great on D. As long as he isn't worse than Bonner, I can deal with it.

Ditto.

I don't care if people do it; that's their business. I just think it's not so bright to talk about it in a public forum.

As far as the post content, the Spurs are definitely talented. This team's success will come down to health and being relentless. If Manu/Tony keep attacking and penetrating, this opens up everything for everyone else and they'll be competitive every night.

The consumption of Weed is legal in Germany. The holding of marijuhana is something different. ;)

this is my kind of thread. aint nothin wrong with some greenery. i say all the smokers on ST need to get together before a game and pitch in on a dodo blunt, smoke it in the lot and go watch the spurs

Totally true. The main thing this Spurs team lacks without Manu is the fire and desire (to quote Rick James).

Gooden brings some fire as well, which really helps. But Kori is right on - if Parker and Manu are in full-on attack mode at all times, it will keep opponents on their heels. Parker has proven this year that he can cripple defenses all by himself.

In many ways he's more dangerous than Chris Paul. Paul doesn't always go to the hole - he'll dribble around for 23 seconds, but he's not attacking the rim. The Tony Parker we've seen lately isn't screwing around -- he's going to the hole. Teams have to deal with that. All the opposing bigs know that Parker is going to get past whoever is guarding him, so they have to have one eye on him at all times.

With Manu and Parker both on the court, you've got two attackers to worry about -- and oh by the way, you have Tim and two other 40+% three shooters behind the line at all times.

For opposing teams, it's your basic nightmare.
