View Full Version : T-Mac will help the spurs win a title this year (off the bench)
Don't under estimate his playmaking ability...
I will quote this thread after the spurs win their 5th title.

Wow you are really high on him.
Wow you are really high on him.
As far as playing for any other team and even being a starter, I don't think he can because he is old. But its crazy as hell...the spurs got exactly what they have been missing with all the injuries. His ability to make plays at 6'9" is something that never goes away and he plays very smart. Off the bench for the spurs he will actually play defense too.
I know Rockets fans hate the guy, and I did for a time but all this nonsense about 1st round virgin is just a smokescreen because the spurs just potentially got a whole lot Deadlier. I'm not saying every night. But I guarantee you he will have one of those REALLY big games in the playoffs to help the spurs.

I'm also a Magic fan so I know his game quite a bit. Seemed like he dropped off a cliff after he left the Rockets. We'll see what he can do though, better than what we have now which is nothing.
as an organization it seems the spurs are really shrewed...waiving JAX and signing mcgrady as all the other teams will be buying into that 1st round nonsense.
Kind of like buying a stock at its all time low when it has something to prove and very little to prove. Will be enjoyable to watch if he gets burn.

I agree with you here especially. Of the guys available, with the exception of D Mcguire, he has by far the best physical profile to give you 5-8 MPG against a Durant or Lebron. He's still freaky long, he's not the athlete he was, but he was awesome when he was younger (think Brent Barry at the Dunk contest vs Spurs BB), and finally, he might still have enough cachet with the refs to get a little respect... because everyone else (available) would just get hosed on foul calls.
Add in his passing and play-making skills, he's the gamble of choice...

T-Mac can still score which is good, he can create his own shot. I'm not saying he's going to play for 20 + minutes and be an all star or look great in every play but he's not afraid to take a shot and he's not going to quit on the team.

Manu must have a time machine, 2003 T Mac and 2005 Manu = success

I really have that funny feeling that he will start in at least one game in the PO.

I hope he is a contributor to the second unit, and I do think he could allow us to run some more small ball lineups where he plays at the four. But I am pretty sure he is an insurance policy. Buford literally is quoted as saying he is brought on for depth. He can play heavy minutes against the wolves which means we can rest more guys longer, and if Kawhi goes down in the playoffs (please god no!!!) we have someone who is big enough to guard big threes. If the Spurs thought Tmac would have a large impact on the team, they would have signed him earlier in the season. I am not hating on Tmac, and I like the move. But I don't expect Tmac to come in and have game changing impact (maybe one game).

props Sook for the vote of confidence. I was excited when I saw ace3g's post a minute after he put it up. I still feel good about it. I think TMac still has something to prove and the Spurs desperately need some help. If it doesn't work out, oh well, least we tried. It could be the spark we need at this point.

Just an honest opinion. The urge for spewing out "Quitter!! Its all your fault!" may be there but I try to avoid biased opinions. :lol

Tmac might finally get out of the first round or the Spurs just made a big mistake.

I like it. This guy always killed us at the end if games. I really hope he's past his injuries and still has that deadly shot from outside. I really want him to succeed. What I really like is that the Spurs are the most talented team he has played on and he wont have to be THE MAN on every play.
Tony Parker penetrating an dishing out to him is the first thing I am looking for.
Good signing and shows the Spurs are always looking to improve.
