Perhaps she likes to watch a good old fashioned open practice? :lmao

[Ditty]

Perhaps she likes to watch a good old fashioned open practice? :lmao

:lol We're nothing alike, she probably doesn't even know a single player that plays for the Spurs.

[Libri]

Perhaps she likes to watch a good old fashioned open practice? :lmao

Taking her out to see Bonner's defense and RJ's offense? She'll be so disappointed.

[Fireball]

He could ask her if she wants to see a dick play basketball ... that might work

[Ditty]

I probably would get slapped, and hit in the nuts.

[Fireball]

I probably would get slapped, and hit in the nuts.

Then enjoy your date and watch the practice later ... the last two seasons one could watch the open practice on Spurs.com.

Its better than nothing.

Just the date for now. They said more details would come later this week.

Is parking free? Or just the regular price?

[ace3g]

For those of you who will not be able to make it to @attcenter tonight we will be streaming the entire open scrimmage at spurs.com/live

per spurs twitter

[tmtcsc]

At this point, I'm wondering if they'll have open tryouts.

[timtonymanu]

How much longer until the practice starts?

[angelbelow]

Yay!

[DarkGinobili]

:flag:

[Dex]

How much longer until the practice starts?

7:00PM CST. Doors open at 6:30.

[GB20]

I am at the at&t center waitting in a big line.

[Spurs Brazil]

http://www.nba.com/spurs/live

[Spurs Brazil]

Anyone having problems with it?

Legging all the time. I can't see anything

[Spurs Brazil]

Black team: TD, Blair, Manu, RJ, Tony

[Kori Ellis]

Anyone having problems with it?

Legging all the time. I can't see anything

Is it better for you now? It's a little choppy for me from time to time, but I can see everything.

[timtonymanu]

I'm guessing white team starters were: Tiago, Matt, Anderson, Ford, and Kawhi?

[Spurs Brazil]

Is it better for you now? It's a little choppy for me from time to time, but I can see everything.

Just a little. I could see a Tiago ugly shot :lol

[dylankerouac]

Just a little. I could see a Tiago ugly shot :lol

It was terrible. That was his baby hook I think. Nothing but rim.

[objective]

works fine for me.

works well enough to see how empty that place is. They might not have a sell-out all season.

[Fireball]

Black team: TD, Blair, Manu, RJ, Tony

Starting lineup for the regular season as well ...

[Dex]

I just get a blank white page when I go there.

[dylankerouac]

I'm guessing white team starters were: Tiago, Matt, Anderson, Ford, and Kawhi?

Yes I think so. Though I haven't seen Anderson or Ford very clearly yet. I wish this streaming was HD.

[Spurs Brazil]

Working great now

[Dex]

Nvm, after like 20 refreshes it finally came up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner on fire :lol

[angelbelow]

Wish they had a PA announcer for some of the younger/newer faces out there. Hard to tell whose who.

[dylankerouac]

Yeah that is Ford. Seems like the D stops any drive Anderson tries to do.

[dylankerouac]

Kawhi with 2 free throws then the defensive rebound +.

[Kori Ellis]

works fine for me.

works well enough to see how empty that place is. They might not have a sell-out all season.

It's pretty empty for this scrimmage every year. But yeah -- this won't be a record-breaking season for attendance :lol

[angelbelow]

Bonner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dylankerouac]

Who's the guy with the face mask?

[angelbelow]

Duncan for 3!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago block TP and then score in the other end

[Spurs Brazil]

Lawal in the black or white team?

[dylankerouac]

TJ needs to turn the assist meter on.

[Fireball]

Leonard cannot score ...

[Fireball]

Even the Admiral showed up ...

[dylankerouac]

So, Bonner is 4/4 at the 3 point line?

[dylankerouac]

Oh, I spoke too soon, 4/5.

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
Kawhi Leonard knocks down catch-and-shoot three. Hearing he's a better stand-still shooter than people give him credit for.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jefferson looks dead. I hope he's 2003 Smith. Maybe Leonard can turn into 2003 Jax

[dylankerouac]

Yeah that catch and shoot 3 was nice.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD big dunk. WOW

[dylankerouac]

Jefferson is on the floor counting dollar bills.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF with the mask guy. He can't stop miss and can't stop shooting

[angelbelow]

So, far, KL has shown about 5% offensive capabilities. A little worrisome.

[Libri]

Is this the official open practice blog? hehe

[Spurs Brazil]

Another dunk in Tiago head

[ace3g]

Lawal with the monster put back dunk against Splitter

[Libri]

Who was that with the monster dunk?

[Spurs Brazil]

JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald
Kawhi Leonard is now 3-for-3 on catch-and-shoot 3s. That's really all you have to do offensively as a Spurs small forward.

[loveforthegame]

That was Lawal with that dunk?

[Spurs Brazil]

Lawal has a big chance to start the season with the team. We didn't sign anyone and Novak is gone

[Buddy Holly]

Who was that with the monster dunk?

No names on the shirts, no announcer to say but someone said it was Lawal. :wow

[angelbelow]

Anderson has made his last couple shots. Good to see.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice finish by Anderson

[dylankerouac]

Kawhi with the assist to JA on the fast break : ).

[DarkGinobili]

Anderson dunk.

[loveforthegame]

I could get used to that Leonard to Anderson stuff.

[DarkGinobili]

jefferson

[ace3g]

2 FTs good for Splitter, that improvement a lone will increase his point total next year, and with his unorthodox hooks shots in the lane he can draw a decent amount of fouls

[angelbelow]

Kawhi with the assist to JA on the fast break : ).

Great pass, hes shown a really nice all around game today. His D on Manu was fantastic, his rebounding stands out, made some nice passes, apparently hes 3-3 in catch and shoot situations..

Even with the 3-3 I feel his offensive display was limited today. Wanted to see him explode to the rim a few times but that didnt happen.

[Libri]

No names on the shirts, no announcer to say but someone said it was Lawal. :wow

Yup, that was a very nice dunk.

[Brazil]

Tp is a bit rusty out there

[objective]

TJ Ford must have an incentive in his contract based on number of dribbles.

[Fireball]

Is Novak really gone?

[ElNono]

but... BIG things are coming! :rolleyes

[Brazil]

Is Novak really gone?

yes he has been waived

[Fireball]

yes he has been waived

cool

[ace3g]

sweet OVERTIME!!!

[Fireball]

Overtime?

[Spurs Brazil]

OT :lol

[Brazil]

Griffin has a brother playing for the Bobcats ? I saw a dude named Griffin during ATL / CHA and he seems to have a lot of similarity

[loveforthegame]

OT is hilarious.

[angelbelow]

Too bad that PA announcer snoozed during the game. Would have been helpful in certain situations.

[angelbelow]

Griffin has a brother playing for the Bobcats ? I saw a dude named Griffin during ATL / CHA and he seems to have a lot of similarity

They look similar but thats about it. He was drafted by the Suns but never played much for them.

[Spurs Brazil]

TJ back to back

[loveforthegame]

TJ Ford looks much better tonight.

[Brazil]

TJ making parker his bitch lol

[ElNono]

OT looks like Game 6 against MEM, tbh... :lol

[Brazil]

They look similar but thats about it. He was drafted by the Suns but never played much for them.

thx... I was like wtf ?

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner dagger :lol

[ElNono]

Bonner dagger :lol

:lol never mind

[dylankerouac]

Do they keep stats of this practice?

[Dex]

White team wins as the heavy underdog.

Would like to say that says good things about our youth....but this probably isn't a really good litmus test.

Besides....they had Bonner.

[Buddy Holly]

I feel bad for the people getting the jersey's of the uber scrubs.

"Hey dad, where's the scrimmage shirt I got a couple months ago from that white guy who wore a mask and sucked balls?"

"I used it to wipe up dog shit the day after. Why?"

"The dog shit in the hall."

Well this is good news.

[Ice009]

Jefferson looks dead. I hope he's 2003 Smith. Maybe Leonard can turn into 2003 Jax

Jax deserved more money. He's a stone cold shooter and made big shots in the playoffs for us and these rookies are getting paid more than he was that season. I can understand why he felt low balled.

I don't know how much he wanted or if the Spurs were willing to go much higher, but I just thought if they went up a bit higher he might have resigned. If he wanted an outrageous amount of money then I can understand them letting him go, but I don't know the numbers either side was willing to go for.
