Welcome back, Jack

[Ghost Writer]

Someone got that championship swagg goin' on.

Great trade...

[Chase_the_Bass]

Why do you have such a high post count...

[adidas11]

Damn, now there are some names that I haven't seen in a while...

[MI21]

Buckets... I have waited a good 8 years for this.

Bout time, :hat

[NASpurs]

Did I step into a time machine or something?

[Kori Ellis]

Hahaha... An hour ago I was thinking, GW has to post today for sure. :cooldevil

[timvp]

Someone got that championship swagg goin' on.

Great trade...




WTF. I must be dreaming.

I'm going to be pissed if I wake up and RJ is still on the Spurs.

[adidas11]

This is shocking, to say the least.

[timvp]

GW and T Park need to post more. No excuses now.

The balla is back. ®

[Ghost Writer]

Fi-nally... The Ghost... has come back... to Spu-u-u-u-u-urs Talk.

You can't imagine how delighted I am that the Spurs finally rid themselves of that soft, overpaid and ineffective Richard Jefferson and brought my main man Captain Jack back where he belongs.

Anyone worried about S-Jax's attitude needs to know that this guy is cool as a cucumber as long as he can contend and compete.

This is a great day for Spurs fans.

Finally, the front office shows some b@lls, too.

I think that the NBA is sleeping on San Antonio.

We've been written off after that embarrassing playoff exit last season.

But, quite frankly, no one is fvcking with us at full strength.

And anyone that knows me, knows that I ain't no homer.

I tell it like it is.

And I think this team has one more run at it this season.



Let's get it.












P.S.

How have you all you been? Hope everyone is happy and healthy.
I been leanin' and rockin'. Two kids now. Still married somehow. Do the daily grind. And dominating every day.
I still love the Spurs more than ever. Have to admit that I'm not feeling the passion from others where I live in CT or on Twitter.
Good to see some old friends still holding it down in here.
Salu'te.



I miss you MFers.

[adidas11]

Good to see you as well, Ghost.

I'm glad to hear you are still married. Your wife must be a saint ;) And congrats on the kids!

timvp almost died this past summer (literally) but he's healthy now. We adopted three kids -- they are 2, 2 and 3 now. How old are your little ones?

I don't think anyone wants that.

At least from me.

[rasho8]

You need to post more t park.

[T Park]

The slight bright spot to this trade?

TJ Ford's contract being traded to make money room to sign a waived player.

Come on Kaman....

[Blackjack]

Had to double-take when seein this thread.

1.) I hadn't posted today.

2.) I couldn't believe Buckets was back.

3.) Ghost Writer - followed by T Park? Not EricB ... but T Park???

As I said earlier, I immediately thought of GhostWriter this afternoon when I heard about this deal . . . .

[Das Texan]

I gotta get in on this fucking fun.


Pass the Got Damn Tequila.


At the very least, this team is much more fun to root for now with Buckets back.

[Man In Black]

Now we just need Marcus Bryant to post in this thread and it will officially be 2003.

If that was the case....we'd all be posting somewhere else. But no matter where....we had some good times.

STFU and BAMA v HOYA.



Buckets man....I wonder if he'll be staying at his old joint?

[gilmor]

This thread will be legendary..

GW and T-Park actually posted..

[SpursFanInAustin]

Stephen Jackson is back! I'm back!

Man in Black, don't forget about "HITA"...aka Steve Smith's contract via Baseline Bum. I honestly begin to think RJ was becoming the modern day "HITA"

[SequSpur]

So GW is back and the black persona of Eric B chimes in.....

Fucking Bandwagoners...

[Ghost Writer]

What the hell happened with timvp last year?

I love seeing all the old heads in this thread... too numerous to mention by name, but great to say "hello' again.

Where is mouse?

He ended up in ICU on his death bed. The explanation: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189822

Mouse is still around too.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow, GW is back!

and sup T Park!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tpark is posting again? :wtf
Ugh, any way we can send jack back?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He won a bet with timvp about Kori Ellis.

Hint: They're real.

Holy crap! Now all we need is ghostbusters dos, and Johnny tightlips, and this thread is instant gold

Hey bros! Glad I hung around long enough to see this trade happen!

[Rogbok]

Glad to see you back GhostWriter, but not as glad as I am in seeing Buckets back. I hope you manage to stick around.

I also hope you post more as well T Park. It is good to have the old school posters around. I may be old school too, but never been too much of a poster.

This thread needs Marcus Bryant and exstatic.

[Spurologist]

SJAX. A playa with that killa instinct.

Marcus Bryant is around. I've seen him a couple of times recently in the Political Forum. I have been wondering about exstatic for a while now. Seems like he just fell of the face of the earth. Makes one worry after what happened with another ST legend.

Cant believe one of my favorite Spurs is back where he belongs!

You can't imagine how delighted I am that the Spurs finally rid themselves of that soft, overpaid and ineffective Richard Jefferson and brought my main man Captain Jack back where he belongs.

Anyone worried about S-Jax's attitude needs to know that this guy is cool as a cucumber as long as he can contend and compete.

This is a great day for Spurs fans.

Finally, the front office shows some b@lls, too.

I think that the NBA is sleeping on San Antonio.

We've been written off after that embarrassing playoff exit last season.

But, quite frankly, no one is fvcking with us at full strength.

And anyone that knows me, knows that I ain't no homer.

I tell it like it is.

And I think this team has one more run at it this season.

That summarizes the trade for me. An open jumper was not even a guarantee with RJ24 in his time here. SJax brings so much more to the table. Welcome back though I don't know you. :lobt:

[Stalin]

his first game back will be crazy

[phyzik]

for a few minutes I was expecting to see a post from Whottt as well. :depressed

[gospursgojas]

Spurs and ST are both rejuvenated.

[timvp]

Oh hell yes.

That's brand new day after Dick Era.

Here in Poland temperature rised up so fast. Yesterday +4C, and today sunny +15C. We're still in middle eastern winter.

Life tastes great.

[BoricuaCJA]

Damn, I'm so happy to get rid of RJ and get one of my favortite Spurs. I know he will be a great addition on the defensive end. I can't wait to see what rotation Pop will put out.
I'm gonna be at the Mavs vs Spurs game Saturday and I'm fucking excited!!!

If you dont have a Capt Jack boner youre doing it wrong.

I just think everyone remembers him for how he played here and not how he has played as of late. I would love to be wrong and he comes in kicken ass and doesn't give a shit about taken names later, but we shall see.

[Penya]

So... Next Wednesday SJax will play his first game and Bowen's jersey is retired, right?

Definitely, it's gonna be crazy!

[Budkin]

I don't think anyone wants that.

At least from me.

Sure we do... you are an integral part of the SpursTalk experience.

[Obstructed_View]

I just think everyone remembers him for how he played here and not how he has played as of late.

I think some of you forget that there's not really a difference. He turned the ball over and took bad shots when he was with the Spurs too. We're just counting on him NOT to be the head-case or the primadona like he was with so many other teams.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Went round and round with Aaron from 48 MOH on twitter saying the same thing.

Just couldn't articulate it that well.

Yeah, the problem isn't thinking too highly of what Jack is now, it's thinking too highly of what he was when he was with the Spurs. He's become a far better player since then. The danger before was that he was an immature headcase, at least now he's mature, though he could still be a headcase. The danger before was that he didn't realize how good he had it with the Spurs. He should know that now. The danger before was that he would take a bad shot or try to do too much. Yep, that's still a concern, but that maturity thing might help.

If he wants to win, this is the place for him to contribute to that. Let's hope he makes the most of the opportunity.

If you take the guy by a twitter post, which IMO is like taking someone at a message board fight threat, "Back home where I belong" You'd like to think that he sees this as an opportunity.

I may be looking at it through rose colored glasses but I think, if hes playing like he can, Manu Parker Duncan Jax SPlitter are enough to cover up for Blair and Bonner.

Maybe not, but he gives them that assassin Horry type that they've been missing.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm definitely looking at it through rose colored glasses. Old-school, dunking-on-Deke, Malik Rose colored glasses. I freely admit that. That's sort of irrelevant. Jackson has been a good player who can score a lot of points THIS SEASON, and we saw it firsthand. This isn't pre- and post-injury Antonio McDyess we're talking about here; other than being a few years older he's physically the same player he was when he left, he's just a lot better.

Agreed. I think people overvalue numbers and way overrate his bad attitude with bad clubs. Which is exactly what I said to 48 MOH but they countered with if he was so great a person and player he would've over came that adversity. The only counter to it is, he's just not wired that way. he needs structure, he needs guidance. To pen a Ron Washington phrase, thats just how Stephen Jackson go.

[timvp]

Yeah, the problem isn't thinking too highly of what Jack is now, it's thinking too highly of what he was when he was with the Spurs.

Agreed. 2003 SJax was an extremely fun player to root for but it wasn't because he was a great player. If you factor in the highs and lows, 2003 SJax was an overall neutral force. But you could count on him to keep playing at his normal level no matter the situation. When it comes to winning pressure-packed games, that's an invaluable trait. All it takes is an ounce of fear to derail an otherwise great team.

Whottt used to make a great argument in Jax's defense for his bad series vs the Lakers, was due to Phil Jackson being scared to death by him.

He was great vs Phoenix, bad vs LA, OK to good vs Dallas, and mediocre until game 6 vs New Jersey.

Its the Speedy syndrome. You only remember the highs, but don't remember the lows.

[MaNu4Tres]

You only remember the highs, but don't remember the lows.

Which is why people should take sample size into consideration when it comes to playoff basketball.

But that would be the wise thing to do, so that's obviously hard to do.

My biggest knock on RJ wasn't his stats, it was his statlines. He was just as likely to score 20 as he was to score 2. Average is nice, but it doesn't help you in the playoffs. Jack could really be this year's Glenn Robinson, who never put up big numbers as a Spur, but always seemed to put up the most important numbers at the most important times. How big an upgrade is it now?
