I want to see him tomorrow only with a half beard :lol

[duncan228]

I want to see him tomorrow only with a half beard :lol

:lol It wouldn't surprise me if he did it.

[TIMMYD!]

Timmy!!

[EmptyMan]

Thank god Dejuan is still committed to the power of the beard.

Last beard standing.

[EricB]

McDyess saying he's not quite in shape kind gives a glimpse to why Bonner is still probably starting.

[EmptyMan]

Listening to Antonio and RJ, it still feels like a dream the Spurs were able to get players like that in the same off-season.

"It's gonna be a wild ride" - RJ

Can't wait for tomorrow!

[Spursmania]

This is such a testament to the class organization the Spurs have built. To have Dice and RJ, 2 veteran players, so excited for a season opener is telling us they see something special in this team, and they are motivated as Hell to play and win. I love how they all know there is one goal, and that is the Championship.

One more day and our Spurs will play!:hungry:

Not that I mind Bonner starting but he is starting forsure?

[iilluzioN]

Timmy!!!!!!!!

[completely deck]

Nothing's for sure until tomorrow night, but more than likely, yes, Bonner will start.

[DJB]

Oh my god, if Timmy played tomorrow night with half a beard on national television, I would shit myself.

[duncan228]

Monroe has Bonner as a probable starter. The roster doesn't get turned in until shortly before tip so we won't know for sure until then.

Yeah I thought I heard that too.

[EricB]

I think people have to temper expectations for the team early on, and temper the bile and hatred at pop when he rolls Bonner out there tomorrow.

[Riverwalkman]

Bonner will play defense, I'm serious.

[lennyalderette]

i love how genuine our players are, and then we see snobby l.a w/ron artest wearing a crop circle on his mohawk or nowitzki cursing when he makes a 3 on opening night, garnett saying F&%$ everytime he scores i mean enough we get it you made a shot!!! i want to see kg,kobe,and dirk cry this year for all the crap they talk for all their arrogance!!!its time for the nice guys to finish last again..

[SKINNYPIMP210]

Yeah I thought I heard that too.

Hmmmm, I thought he said "I'm not gonna start anything." Meaning talking smack about David West.

Oh well, we will find out tonight, Go Spurs! :flag:

[Interrohater]

It doesn't matter if The Boner starts, he's a decent role-player who starts the game, but more than likely won't finish out the game. It's like Manu off the bench, but in reverse.

[Flux451]

afternoon practices to be better prepared for afternoon games :p:

[Interrohater]

afternoon practices to be better prepared for afternoon games :p:

That's exactly what I thought. When Mcdyess said, jokingly of course, that his body shuts down at 4pm, I was like "well then it makes sense to start practice in the afternoon so you're body is more comfortable with exerting itself later in the day, which is when most games are played"
