Summer League Game Thread: Spurs vs. Raptors - July 14, 2013

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Toronto can't miss, either they were ice cold last game or will be ice cold next game.

[xellos88330]

Denmon 3!!!

[Libri]

THESE REFS HAVE HUGE PUSSIES

One is an NBA ref and the other two are wannabees.

[xellos88330]

Denmon 2!!!

[xellos88330]

Don't know about that call on Thomas.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

these refs are literally retarded, some scrub just threw himself into another scrub and they called a foul on the defender?

[Antwan07]

Score please.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

One is an NBA ref and the other two are wannabees.
Is the white ref with the mushroom head an NBA ref? He's calling a lot.

[SpursRock20]

So put your shoulder down, drive to the rim, and throw the ball up wildly. That's how you get a foul called. lmao

[toki9]

74-64 Raptors, 4:30 remaining

[Taking it to the Hole]

Thomas needs to stand his ground in there. Seems like he is backing away from the contact.

[toki9]

Thomas has an old man gait...

[xellos88330]

DeColo.... brick.

[xellos88330]

Spurs need 3 consecutive stops.

[Rito3d30]

Thomas can rebound too

[xellos88330]

DeColo bricks the easy runner.

[Texas_Ranger]

They have Joseph, Nando and Mills at the point and I don't feel confident in none of those guys handling the ball.

[xellos88330]

This game might just be over.

[Taking it to the Hole]

DeColo is just useless out there. They need to get Thomas on iso plays or let Joseph penetrate and kick it out.

[GB20]

decolo is finished

[xellos88330]

Baynes tip in.

[fleggy2k2]

NDC way underwhelming thus far

[Ice009]

Fucking Decolo is absolute trash!

He's playing so bad which would make it even harder to trade him. Fucking joke. At least when Sjax talks shit he can back it up most of the time. Decolo asking for playing time and fucking stinking it up. Pathetic Nando, pathetic!

[Libri]

Is the white ref with the mushroom head an NBA ref? He's calling a lot.

It think it could be the black dude. He has a different uniform.

[barakz21]

Wow NDC is just crappy. He's saying he deserves minutes but his performance so far ain't exactly backing up his talk.

[xellos88330]

Nando needs to "get over himself"

[toki9]

Is De Colo hurt? Anybody with some info? He just looks so bad. He may have lost playing time because he's played so poorly...OK, that may be a hyperbole...

[Baam]

Thomas looks better than both Cory and Nando tbh...

[Taking it to the Hole]

Thomas looks better than both Cory and Nando tbh...

Thomas looks really good but Joseph is playing well tonight as well. Baynes looks like he needs to get more touches.

[Captivus]

Thomas doesnt seem to force anything. He is playing his position and thats it.
13pts 5/8 - 8 Reb

[Ice009]

Baynes looks like he has a poor temperament and prone to mistakes. Not sure if you can play him in any critical minutes. I like his aggressiveness over Splitter's, but Tiago is much, much better player overall. Can't believe some people thought that Baynes could take over from Splitter. Stupid stuff indeed from some fans around here.

[Baam]

Have they even scored one point since Thomas was benched...

[xellos88330]

Thomas 3!!!!

Steroid rage? :hat

[Taking it to the Hole]

DeColo needs to spend the whole season on the Toros. He is not NBA ready.

[ace3g]

Thomas 3!!!

[SpursRock20]

Sweet stroke!

[Rito3d30]

Thomas is the real deal:toast

[xellos88330]

Nice rip by Denmon.

[Baam]

Thomas Summer league mvp, trade the two scruby midgets, resign Neal and you got a hell of a bench offensively.

[xellos88330]

Gotta hit that Joseph.

[Antwan07]

Score

[SpursRock20]

Cojo's drives are weak tonight.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Dentmon is fast

[Taking it to the Hole]

Baynes needs to look alive!

[FireMicoHalili]

unwarranted hate for Nando guys, he's better running the point. If he's asked to play off-guard it'd naturally be more difficult for him. I wish he were given the opportunity to run point in the next few games. I still remember when hew was SA's shiny new toy because of his above-average dribbling skills and his incredible court vision.

[xellos88330]

^No it isn't. Point guards aren't supposed to turnover the ball on dumb passes.

[SpursRock20]

Denmon looking to pull the rim down any chance he gets.

[toki9]

Would like to see Thomas at the training camp...

[fleggy2k2]

CoJo, Thomas, and shades of Baynes looked very promising tonight. Especially liked CoJo on the boards.

[SpursRock20]

He's had quite a few chances with the ball in hands tonight and he has looked terrible, tbh.

He has had plenty of opportunities to play point tonight. He is not producing when he has his opportunities at either position.

[Captivus]

Great game for Thomas, best player on the court.
Back up SF?

[xellos88330]

Lol, no big to rebound.

I'm more disappointed by his seeming lack of interest and focus out there...I'd love to see him do well because he does possess that court vision...but his attitude and effort are rather lacking...

[xellos88330]

Too familiar....

[LakerHater]

Booo my feed went out!

[SpursRock20]

Lol, no big to rebound.
Udoka learning from the best.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

HURR WE GO

[ElNono]

Thomas!

Re-hire Udoka!

[ace3g]

nice!!

[xellos88330]

Nice steal Thompson and the and 1 after Joseph layup

[SpursRock20]

NOT OVER YET!!!

[xellos88330]

Udoka learning from the best.

Maybe not having a rebounding team in the closing seconds was his idea. :stirpot:

[Captivus]

Do you believe in miracles?! (summer league...smh)

[Taking it to the Hole]

I like Hollis Thompson. he didn't look very comfortable out there tonight but he has some potential.

[SpursRock20]

[xellos88330]

CHOKE JONAS BROTHER!!! CHOKE!!!

[Taking it to the Hole]

Just miss one.

[xellos88330]

DeColo with the wide open brick!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

De Colo CHOKE

[ElNono]

damn

Fire Udoka again!

[toki9]

What take that 3?

[Taking it to the Hole]

3/14 Decolo.

[SpursRock20]

Fitting for De Colo to miss that 3. But why in the world did he take 8 attempts from behind the arc?

[Rito3d30]

he just suck
get back to France:lmao

[RD2191]

Lmfao, wtf is going on? Score?

[Chinook]

And his foot was on the line...

[xellos88330]

DeColo brick to end the game.

[Juggity]

De Colo needs to hang out in the D-League for a while next season

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Trade EVERYONE

[SpursRock20]

Haha, De Colo

[Raven]

too bad nando, at least i saw some effort today.

[Taking it to the Hole]

3/15 now DeColo

[ElNono]

NDC tonight...

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hpsxhz.jpg

[xellos88330]

^LMAO!!!

[Captivus]

Ok, good night ladies!!

[Kingsly Alexander]

1/9 shooting the 3 for De Colo. Waive his ass!

[DesignatedT]

Nando just doesn't have a place on the Spurs roster. He can't play the 2. Joseph is full time backup 1.

[xellos88330]

1 thing I can take from this game.

Thomas is looking more and more like the real deal.

[Robz4000]

Fire De Colo tbh.

Out of a cannon.

At a brick wall.

[Taking it to the Hole]

NDC tonight...

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hpsxhz.jpg

:lmao

[Chinook]

Joseph was good. Thomas was good. Baynes was mostly good. Denmon showed a lot of heart and deserved to close out the game. Thompson had good moments. Richards had a good first five seconds.

De Colo was De No-lo tonight. He should go.

[xellos88330]

Well, I am off to play some World of Tanks!!! See yall later.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Well, I think the Spurs at least got something positive out of this game. Thomas is definitely not just a wasted pick at 58. That boy can play!

[spursince#99]

De Colo is TERRIBLE

[Chinook]

I hope the Spurs can convince Denmon to stay in Europe another year. I think he can hang onto a roster spot once Mills leaves. If he won't they may as well release his right so he can have a full training camp with someone else. The dude has moxie.

[Texas_Ranger]

De Colo with 2 pretty bad games in the summer league. And I thought he wanted to play more in the NBA. He wont get in the rotation and there are free agents that would play better than him for a minimum. The problem is that after what he shown so far no team would even take him.

[cjw]

He's had quite a few chances with the ball in hands tonight and he has looked terrible, tbh.

Not only that, but there are at least two better PG on the team right now (and maybe even on the summer league team too with Denmon out there). Joseph blows him out of the water and as much as people will hate me saying it, Neal - should we resign him - is many times more useful when there's someone to hide him on defensively. Given how old Nando is, I would take the first offer that nets me anything in return. Hopefully some other GM sees something that I don't. He looked much better early last season.

Really liked what I saw out of Thomas - seems to have the right attitude and meshes well with the team. I'd give him Nando's roster spot tomorrow if I could.

[rjv]

adieu nando, bon chance !

Someone took Royce White. At least De Colo can actually travel with the team.

[Vic Petro]

De Colo was horrifying and his trade value is in the toilet. I knew Thomas was a good shooter, but I was impressed with his touch off the glass and ability to score in close.

[Sean Cagney]

356631923067584513 (https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaPS/status/356631923067584513)DO NOT RE SIGN NEAL DO NOT RE SIGN! PLEASE DO NOT.

[heyheymymy]

De Colo tanking on purpose so the spurs can't use him in a trade. he knows he's being showcased.

and if thomas can play like that consistently i see a role as an nba player for him. that guy is solid. good rebounding, polished is an understatement on offense, and he seems like a spurs-mindset/spurs material type a guy.

Thats why they gave us a B+ on that second round and a D on the first round as experts would say! I hope he can continue it and make the team this year! WE need a backup SF and he might fit the mould! I hope he can make it.

yeah how funny is it that out 2nd rounder is more polished than the 1st rounder? i really like what i see so far. hope he can make the same impression in training camp.

wish baynes was more impressive looking -- good not great. but cojo looks real sharp, passing well out of the trouble he gets himself in, decent shot selection and very good handles. he was worth the time invested imho.

could see a depth chart like this next season:

PG: parker, cojo, de colo
SG: green, beli, mills
SF: leonard, manu, thomas
PF: duncan, diaw, pendergraph
C: splitter, bonner, baynes

^i know that's off, just trying to feel out some of the personnel. clearly some of the spots and roles will switch around..

Baynes to me in here is way overhyped and very limited! But he can play in spot minutes and against bigger guys to either foul or play them on the block! Bigger teams he can play against IMO. But he is not going to be a saviour of any kind. CO JO keep it up man! He is very very young and can only get better! I love the fact he can be the backup PG this year and hope he gets it. I hope Thomas can make the team though and I am serious! I really hope he continues to impress and makes our final roster spot, lord knows we need a backup SF in the worst and he might be able to snag some mins there.

[DapDaGenius]

NDC tonight...

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hpsxhz.jpg

I don't understand the joke...:depressed

[monkeypunk]

I don't understand the joke...:depressed

NDC laying bricks all night...

well, i can think of some times where thomas can be on the floor with cojo, manu, and marco (against the small ball lineups of a GS for instance where they may have a smaller PF on the floor)

[TheGoldStandard]

Anyone else touch the floor? Looks like pretty much the same rotation from game 1. Spurs will keep De Colo

[ducks]

I doubt spurs even know if they will keep him yet

[yavozerb]

I doubt spurs even know if they will keep him yet

You could be right..He has fallen back at the pg position and I dont expect him to see many minutes at the 2 either with all the depth at that position also.

[ace3g]

Thomas seems really comfortable in the pick and pop game and he comes across as the type of player that can get over bad shooting stretches (started first game 0-3).

Still early for everything but 100% (4-4) FT shooting is nice as well.

Not exactly a towering sample size. :lol

But it still beats not being 4-4.
