Do you miss Stephen Jackson?

[Kori Ellis]

Sorry, I just had to say it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

yes

[ShoogarBear]

We covered this in chat already.

:)

Damn people, always whining about who we don't have every time the Spurs lose.

[mookie2001]

yes!!
i do
that was a huge mistake letting him walk
although his greedy dumbass was to blame
he was a Texas boy he looked good, he felt good, he stayed right between SBC and Hillwood

[Kori Ellis]

I miss Stephen Jackson all the time. Even when the Spurs win. But I gave up on him after the brawl, so I shouldn't have started this thread.

Oh well.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

he's so dark and long and athletic

[polandprzem]

not at all


Let's concentrate on the next game - what to improve and how to do it.

[boutons]

STFU.

SJax fucked up plenty, "stunk the place up", his own words when the Spurs lost 85-87 in the second game of the 03 Finals series.

[MI21]

Yes.

Nikos, we knew there would be one of these threads, I didn't think Kori would start it! :lol

[PM5K]

Yeah it's too bad he and his agent are bad at math....

[firepopovich]

hell yes i do hes got more balls than anyone on this team not named manu ginobili

[nickbroken]

I miss Glenn more at the moment. :|

[Kori Ellis]

I miss Glenn more at the moment. :|

Yeah, that too.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Stephen Jackson was and still is under-rated, Spurs not only could use his offense, but his size and athletisism on Defense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'll say it (you know it's coming): I miss Argentina's flex offense. :depressed

[ca®lo]

ive been missing him since the day we didnt rehire him.

sjax bailed us out on a couple of games on our 03 championship playoff run.

note: im not posting this coz we lost. win or lose he's always been an asset to the team.

[baseline bum]

I miss Tony Parker. Remember when he used to actually be good in the postseason?

I miss David Robinson most. The more I watch this team these past 2 years the more I realize how seriously underrated he was.

[slayermin]

One thing Jackson would do is give a hard foul. None of our starters, with the exception of Nazr, is willing to do that. I wish they would.

I noticed tonight that when the guys were taking charges, the Nuggets players would either land on the guy taking the charge or almost step on them. I don't know if Robert Horry noticed that and did the same to Nene in the 2nd Qtr, but I like to think he pummelled him to send a message. Also, Big Dog may not know the system very well, but at least he's willing to lay people on their azz.

Stephen Jackson brought an edge to the 2003 team like Mario Elie did for the 99 team. I don't know if the Spurs have a guy like that right now.

[whottt]

I miss Glenn more at the moment. :|


Word!

Glenn Robinson has the same attitude Jax had...

[MI21]

I'll clear that up for you right now, they dont. They will have to win without an "Anti-Spur".

[whottt]

I'll clear that up for you right now, they dont. They will have to win without an "Anti-Spur".


If Stephen Jackson got yanked for missing 3 shots he wouldn't have been able to be the anti-spur...

[Nikos]

I miss Romaine Sato.

[whottt]

lmao Nikos...I fear Sato's time as my avatar is drawing to a close...I gueess you have something to look forward too.

[Nikos]

lmao Nikos...I fear Sato's time as my avatar is drawing to a close...I gueess you have something to look forward too.

Or not :depressed

[Brodels]

Yeah it's too bad he and his agent are bad at math....

I think they ended up being pretty good at math. He held out, signed a one-year deal, and then got a contract for much more than the Spurs were going to pay him.

Fact: Jackson did better financially by leaving the Spurs.

And no, I don't miss him.

[Tom_Foolery]

lmao Nikos...I fear Sato's time as my avatar is drawing to a close...I gueess you have something to look forward too.



YES!!!


I miss his toughness very much.

Can you imagine Jax playing SF instead of Bowen???


OMG!


It could've been like:

PG-Parker
SG-Manu
SF-StephenJax
PF-Duncan
C-Nazr



Are you kidding me???


Popovich has done some great things with the cap, but in my opinion he has also hurt the Spurs too with the Rasho signing and the bloated contract he gave Malik. Either play him or pay him bench salary. Don't pay him as a starter and bench him. That's just not very smart.

We all know the reason why Pop gave him that contract...because the season before, Lakers went hard at Samaki Walker and Pop was not about to lose Malik to the Lakers.


Also, I would've did a "sign & trade" for Brendan Haywood when we had the opportunity to pick up the rights to Speedy a couple seasons ago. And look how Haywood turned out. He's making a name for himself.

Man, if Duncan had Haywood playing Center, boy our interior defense & rebounding as well as Shotblocking would be intimidating!!!


But yeah, I think Pop is going to live & die with Bowen much like (forgive my football analysis) Wannstedt "lived & died" with hanging with Fiedler.


Sooner or later, Pop is going to have to realize that as much as Bowen's a great defender, his defense just isn't good enough to compensate for his 1pt, 3pt, 4pt games.

[MI21]

If Stephen Jackson got yanked for missing 3 shots he wouldn't have been able to be the anti-spur...

Stephen contributed defensively and emotionally as well. He was still at least a little bit useful when he wasn't dropping bombs.

[HB22inSA]

I miss David Robinson most. The more I watch this team these past 2 years the more I realize how seriously underrated he was.

Someone else finally gets it.

[boutons]

"so I shouldn't have started this thread."

then delete it.

The Spurs win and lose as a team. 0 for 17 last night, 12 points, in the 4th was a TEAM effort. Had SJax been here, he would have been part of the TEAM and would have stunk as badly as everybody else.

And btw, Manu was the SG finisher in 03, not SJax.

Delete the thread. You were drunk :lol

[SpurYank]

Stephen Jackson is a thug who had half as many turnovers and missed assignments as he had points. Let's see, that makes his j's worth 1 point. He's fine where he is, in his element. Like Antonio, every time he made a basket against us he would look over at Pop to see if he was frowning or otherwise "feeling sorry for not having him here."

Stephen Jackson? Please!

[Useruser666]

Do you miss the SJax that was with the Spurs in 2003 or the SJax that was out because he was suspended? I don't miss him.

[waly.mg]

I don´t
I miss Speedy Claxton and i miss TD healthy

[red kryptonite]

Yes.

Stephen Jackson would have never let yesterday's fourth quarter happen. I would have traded all his blunders (similar to tony parker's travel on an open layup, beno's behind the back dribble that was stolen and led to a Camby dunk and 1, or Manu's charge that led to Andre Miller's 3?) for some actual buckets when the Spurs went 0-17 or whatever it was. Free throws will only cover you so far until you actually have to hit a big bucket. The refs aren't going to "foul" you to victory.

I'll take a thug, the turnovers, and whatever else negative was said comes with him for Stephen Jackson on the Spurs. He was a winner, pure and simple.

[Mr. Peabody]

Heck, while we're doing this....I miss Vinnie Del Negro. Nobody could do the "unshaven" look quite like he could.

True, but the man wasn't afraid to take a shot.

[Mr. Peabody]

True, but the man wasn't afraid to take a shot.

The problem isn't that no one took shots. Plenty of shots were taken, they just didn't go in.

Delete the thread. You were drunk

Umm, no I wasn't. I haven't drank alcohol in a long time. And thanks for telling me to "STFU".

The Spurs do miss someone like Stephen Jackson. You can say whatever you want about Jack missing a lot of shots, bonehead mistakes, etc. But he had a hunger and a fire that has been missing from this Spurs team.

The only reason that I said that I should have deleted this thread was that I told myself when the brawl happened that I wouldn't want him back anymore. He had disappointed me so much that day.

[vincerodriguez23]

yes, very much

[maxpower]

He's gone. Move on.

[johnny00]

I miss Tony Parker. Remember when he used to actually be good in the postseason?

.

Can you remind me which Tony Parker that was???

Or are you talking about fetal position Parker, y'know the one yhat usually shows up during fourth quarter playoff games, sometimes even sooner.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I miss anyone who has the balls to take a shot in the 4th quarter with confidence.

It's a shame that the only people we can point to who have done that in the playoffs in the last 3 seasons are a brawling 2nd tier small forward and a retired 6'2" Arizona grad with less skillz than I have. WTF, I thought this was the NBA.

Our boys just need to nut up and take it to the Nuggets.

[Frenchise player]

I don't miss him, but he had 16 points in the first quarter tonight, that's very impressive.

[xcoriate]

I miss Steve Kerr :(

[SpurYank]

16 points, uh. I wonder how many points he allowed the celtics to get.
