So who is TIMVP... and why are his words important?

[etbluffer]

Seriously... who is he and why are we hanging on all his analysis?

[Proxy]

Because he knows his shit. Posts are insightful and backed by stats and great reasoning. He's one of the two in charge of this board... he's got a good mind for this.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

He writes for ESPN Insider.

[urunobili]

:rolleyes

1/10 (with the one point just for opening up the thread)

[Budkin]

He runs the site and knows more about basketball and the Spurs than anyone.

[Darius Bieber]

:lmao

[VI_Massive]

He's Manu Ginobili.

[Slomo]

He stole Pop's decoder ring year's ago.

[Spursfan092120]

Because ESPN jacks his shit for their Insiders...

[dbreiden83080]

Well if you have been here a while and read his thoughts he is a highly educated fan.. His breakdowns are excellent better than most of what i hear from the talking heads that infest ESPN...

[thispego]

My only problem with Timvp is that he can be kind of a pessimist... Or is it a realist? I getthe two mixed up sometimes

[The_Worlds_finest]

Just some guy...:wakeup

If we're doing well, he's a pessimist. If we're doing poorly, he's a realist. Simple, really.

[polandprzem]

Seriously... who is he and why are we hanging on all his analysis?

We need to.

We are forced to do it cause he runs this site. And if we would not hang on his analysis, we could kiss this site goodbye

[etbluffer]

Okay... I was just wondering! Wasn't sure if he was some 12 year old who acts like he knows what he is talking about.... I really don't care for it, but to each his own...

[will_spurs]

he writes for espn insider.

qft

[Plumblbw]

Seriously? Surely you must have gathered he knows a sh1t load about the Spurs and basketball in general?

The amount of research, time and effort Timvp puts in is unbelievable. Living outside of the United States it's difficult to watch all of the games, especially through the week. His post game analysis and metrics keep us in the loop and saves us all hours of reasearch. His post game grades usually come in around my mid-morning coffee break at work, which is result :o)

[SA210]

He's here to give Matt Bonner failing grades to send dumspter and Blake off the cliff

[spurs1990]

[MmP]

While I usually don't agree with his player grades I think he has a good and meticulous analysis on the game. Plus he gets ripped by professional analysts so gotta read what he post for free.

[TXstbobcat]

His words are important because TIMVP nice enough to take the time to provide the analysis for every game. It is always interesting to read and I appreciate that he takes the time to do it for all of the spurs fans that post here.

[MmP]

how could a 12 year old post such long and thoughtful analysis? Plus if you read what he writes before game, he's usually right.

[lefty]

[stxspurs]

He is secretly Bill Land

[smaka]

He's twin brother of coach Pop.

[Dr. Gonzo]

He is king among men.

Hi timvp. :)

[Trainwreck2100]

He writes well so the sheeple here love him.

[peacemaker885]

TIMVP and KORI are Spurstalk

[bus driver]

i think he is a teacher, cause he is always posting grades

[silverblk mystix]

He is all those things already mentioned but the ass kissers are pretty ridiculous.

If you happen to question him, dispute him, disagree with him,etc...

The asskissers will gang up and are like a little pack of piranhas.

Ridiculous.

[Hype Man Manu]

Seriously... who is he and why are we hanging on all his analysis?


Look rookie. Everyone rides his nuts because he and his wife run this site.

So open that ass up wide and get ready. You're about to get a drawstring purse full of TimVP analysis!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Seriously... who is he and why are we hanging on all his analysis?

I used to be a timvp scoffer like you.
Then I took an arrow to the knee.

[Brodels]

He writes for ESPN Insider.

:lol

[FvckMavs]

He is TMIVP!

[Sense]

He writes for ESPN Insider.

[Spursmania]

He has Pop's cell phone number on speed dial.

[EVAY]

His words gain importance as people recognize in them the descriptions of games and players that they have watched. He watches all the Spurs games multiple times, knows all the players and the coaching staff and administrators, and is more or less unbiased.

He is generally overly positive in his evaluations of Tim Duncan and generally overly harsh in his evaluations of Tony Parker, but beyond those two players, he is more balanced than not.

His write-ups provide people who are Spurs-followers a generally good overview of how the team is doing. It makes it easier on fans who are more than casual fans but are not as committed to watching every game and every play in minute detail as he is to understand more about what the trends are in the team.

Lots of people on this forum know him and Kori personally. The rest of us do not and try to be careful not to get ourselves so far out of whack with either of them that they ban us from the forum.. Because they can. lol.

The forum is a nice way for lots of us to follow the games with other fans when there is not a person in our house with us who is as crazy about basketball as we are. We don't want to mess it up.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

He is secretly Bill Land

[silverblk mystix]

Flies or mosquitoes won't land on him-out of pure respect.

He shook his own hand once- just to see what all the fuss was about.

People are still laughing at a joke he told- in 1997.

He is....

[GrandeDavid]

The interesting thing, in a cool way, is that while LJ is very outgoing and expressive in writing, he's much quieter and more reserved in person. Again, a good thing! He's probably a fantastic analyst/writer because he's humble and an excellent listener.

[Solid D]

Why is air so important for us?

[bugmenot]

What the fuck are you taliking about he always has been a Parker fanboy but he hates white players like Manu, Bonner and Green.

He doesn’t always writes articles, but when he does, he prefers Spurstalk…. Stay classy my friend!

etbluffer = timvp

[timvp]

timvp is just a guy with a keyboard who cares too much whether the Spurs win or lose.

/thread

[HarlemHo 37]

Well if you have been here a while and read his thoughts he is a highly educated fan.. His breakdowns are excellent better than most of what i hear from the talking heads that infest ESPN...

Sure he has good takes, but if a Newb came in with that same breakdown and analysis, it would barely hit a second page of replies. Many GNSF's and some bolded just like to kiss his ass.

[DPG21920]

This is unc's version of "Im just here to talk basketball"

[MannyIsGod]

If some newb came in and did what Timvp did he'd get credit for it. Which noob is going to watch the game 2 or 3 times and compile stats from all over the internet for no reason other than he enjoys doing it?

There are lots of people here who have put the effort in to write quality posts. Some have done so on a repeat basis (Bruno with the salary cap and scouting or FWDT with refs IE) and some have done it for a bit then grown tired of it. No one has ever done it on the same way he has.

Point me to the newb that has if you can, please.

[silverblk mystix]

-He once brought a knife to a gunfight, just to even the odds.
-He has won the lifetime achievement award...twice.
-He once taught a German Shepard how to bark in Russian
-He lives vicariously throug himself.
-If he we're to punch you in the face, you'd have to fight off the urge to thank him.


He is...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

OP, not only is timvp a basketball and Spurs guru who writes excellent content about the Spurs, he and Kori (also a Spurs guru) are amazing people who have together built a global community of Spurs fans through this website, some of whom have even travelled to SA to meet each other and the local Spursfan community. In short, they are the best kind of people - those who give endlessly to others and believe we can be better every day. :toast

If he were a 12 year old I'd be even more impressed.

Do you have some analysis you would like to provide? Are you tired of working in timvp's shadow?

[easy7]

He has 20/20 hindsight.

[hooperflash]

he's the guy who decides if you're a BNSF or GNSF; and you sir are a GNSF for life. Congrats! :toast

[smeagol]

He is one of smeagol's trolls . . . manny is the other one . . .

[DMC]

Hi LJ.

[TwelveGs210]

The guy writes at a professional level tbh..

I think the Lemmings on this site ride his nuts a little too hard, but that's no fault to Timvp.

[wut]
