No shocker that the Spurs look like shit. They have a few new guys and it's preseason. Can't expect much. I want to see Splitter get more aggressive like a big, and Blair needs to come back to the NBA.

TJ has shown good, decisive decision making, but these are things we knew he could do. The questions are can he defend adequately and take good shots and get to the line.
TP can't do 2 of those 3 things

Tough to watch.

JA looks as good as he did before the injury.

Leonard showing the defense he's known for.

Not sure what I think of Joseph yet.

Blair still missing gimmies and poor defense.

TJ Ford is as fast as I remember. Distributing the ball nicely but a mixed bag on defense.

Bonner being Bonner.

Splitter a hit and miss.

I know it's preseason, but I do not like what I see from Blair, and of course I'm repulsed by Bonner. Splitter seems alright, but I do not see anything impressive from him.

Joseph has almost suffocating defense, that's a bright spot. Kawhi is doing pretty good,
boarding well, but he seems gunshy on offense, slam that shit bro!

I'll rescue JA aggressiveness on offense. When he was out there, nobody seemed like they wanted to take a shot and he took command of the offense. Still a lot of work to do, but I thought he was fine.

I don't get why people expect to have a better squad with the same people, in worse physical condition.

I'm glad the Cowboys are on and I am not torturing myself watching this shit team. From what I have caught of the game, defense looks atrocious, Scola is destroying Bonner/Splitter, Anderson and Leonard looked like just guys. Prepare for a .500 team at best...

Aside from the Big 3, Neal, Anderson and Leonard, this team lacks talent.

Splitter is just plain weak in every respect.

Richard can't be a big time player. Missing the mentality.

Bonner can't rebound.

Blair is as much a clown as Bonner. He bangs his layups off the goal/backboard extremely hard EVERY time.

Only half our team is even worthy of being in the NBA.

Aside from Tim, none of the bigs are.

We're fucked.

Leonard's defense looks very good - moves his feet fast and uses his length to contest shots.
Anderson looks good - been working on pullups off the dribble and using his body to get separation.
Understandably, Splitter is worried about fouling - the whistle is going crazy.
TJs decision making and quickness look good.
Bigs will be fine later in the season when TD & Dice are in the rotation.

same here, im only watchin this game cause of leonard and splitter, splitter was fine until they started callin his bumping fouls...

leonard is fkn passive mentally, he should be taking the reigns and pulling the shots...doesnt help when he hangs out at the perimeter alot

ElNono
12-17-2011, 09:23 PM
Splitter will be called for a lot of fouls... it's basically his first season and he still hasn't made a name for himself as a defensive force, refs don't know him, etc... hopefully that will improve over time

I agree...I don't know why everyone expects them to be perfect out the gates, it's the first preseason game after a long ass lockout, there is gonna be rust and some confusion.

Thabeet has 4 already.

Houston is playing their best players. The Spurs are playing their 3rd string guys.

I don't give a rat's ass about the score. I want to see some good picks, some good stops, decent spacing (Bonner!) and see what Ford can do in terms of decision making and stop FUCKING going around screens.

I already like Kawhi a lot. Dude just needs to get more comfortable taking shots. His defense and rebounding is nice. He took that last turnover coast to coast. I'm happy we got this guy.

Kawhi's man on man defense has been pretty damn good. His rebounding has been solid, but his motor is a little underwhelming from what I expected. Probably just nerves and wanting to fit in. Hopefully he truly isn't as timid as he appears. Spurs need a killer mindset.

That's the good thing about having a guy like TJ on the 2nd unit. Good pace, good vision and he's got enough offense to where you can dump the ball on him with a few seconds left and he at least has the potential to make something happen.

KL looks promising. He's comfortable out there and hasn't done stupid shit, seems to know where he is.

Forget about Bonner, pretty much Blair too. You can only polish a turd so much.

TJ Ford? Hard to say.

Splitter's hook shot is shitty, but if it's effective that's fine. I want to see him defend. Anderson looks good.

Bonner's handles have always been underrated, imagine if he had any explosiveness or athleticism, he would have a pretty serviceable fake and drive.

My statement should be read Rj + Blair or Bonner. Which will be 2/5ths of the starting lineup. 2/5ths of which are defensive weaknesses.
