Like a vet. Coaches want to see if he can defend, though. RT @kevinajones7 How has Bobby Simmons looked?

Manu says he is "very tired" after three days, but other than that, "healthy and strong." Eager to start a season at 100% for once. #spurs

More good RJ today as well: "I didn't forget how to play basketball in one year." #spurs

Pop says McDyess will spend less time at five, and more at four this season. #spurs

That last one is interesting. Does that mean Blair gets more 5 work?

Slow down duncan228 it's just training camp! You're already in midseason form! :toast

[The_Worlds_finest]

For some reason the videos do not work for me, anybody else have this problem?

Tiago. Dice is better suited for the 4 anyways. His mid-range jumper is his best offensive weapon.

Yeah. Pretty straight-forward approach. Duncan and Splitter at 5.
Blair, Dice and Bonner at 4.

Except that, now, Splitter can't go.

Spurs Waive Thomas Gardner http://bit.ly/c7YPNR

Spurs usually don't waive players that soon in the training camp. Maybe he has asked to be waived in order to sign somewhere overseas.

[DPG21920]

Pop looks like he has gained some weight. This sucks that Tiago is hurt. He needs the time with the guys to learn and get comfortable.

[JR3]

sad about Tiago. Well let Bonner earn his money now and let Splitter and blair play in crunch time.

Now that Tiago Splitter is injured, the Spurs will look to young bigs Ian Mahinmi and Ike Diogu to pick up the slack...... Oh, Wait...

This was from earlier but if Diogu is still available and since Gardner was released, Spurs could at least give him a look

Penney confident after first week with Spurs (http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/sport/58328/penney-confident-after-first-week-with-spurs)

The New Zealand basketball star Kirk Penney believes he has the ability to make it in the NBA after spending his first week with the San Antonio Spurs at their pre-season trial camp in Texas.

Penney left for the States late last week to join the group of Spurs NBA hopefuls and will remain with the team until the end of their pre-season campaign, which tips off against the Houston Rockets next week.

The Breakers guard is still contracted to the NBL side but will be released if he signs with San Antonio.

Penney concedes he's unaware how many spots are up for grabs on the Spurs roster but says he's got what it takes to mix it with the best.

DeJuan Blair arrived at camp with 8 percent body fat. He played at 14 or 15 last season.
