[barakz21]

Funny how many powers have come and gone, and yet the spurs are.. Well, still the spurs.

[hooperflash]

Wesley Johnson gone = Spurs Win :lol

[Chinook]

How dare they have a game during football?

[benefactor]

How dare they have a game during football?
If Schaub is busy crapping the bed again I have something to change it to...so it works out.

[Robz4000]

If Schaub is busy crapping the bed again I have something to change it to...so it works out.

So you'll be seeing most of the game?

[benefactor]

Yes, the likelihood is high.

[Robz4000]

Welp, on the bright side, if Schaub has another terrible game it should be the last straw. Hopefully the same will go for Kubiak.

[hooperflash]

Texans talk :shootme

[ace3g]

Wesley Johnson gone = Spurs Win :lol


The return of Channing Frye though.

[Robz4000]

The return of Channing Frye though.

That name...

Don't mention it here...

[racm]

We have Tiago, Boris, and Ayres to guard Frye though.

[hooperflash]

The return of Channing Frye though.:spless:

[Brunodf]

3rd stringers by 2

[look_at_g_shred]

Excited to see Leonard do work!

[Samr.]

The return of Channing Frye though.

Not as much heart in his game now though....

[hooperflash]

Some people aren't catching your sarcasm :ace lol

[Captivus]

The return of Channing Frye though.

Really? Didnt know that.
Good for him.

[ace3g]

Really? Didnt know that.
Good for him.

Yeah he had a pretty good game, first time back:

They may have the program guide wrong on NBATV. Not sure why they would replay a game instead of showing a game that's live.

[RD2191]

Any streams?

[TheGreatYacht]

Anybody gonna start posting links to the game? I'm watching a Bulls vs Wizards game on NBA TV right now. I see that there is another game scheduled @ 1:30pm on NBA TV which I'm pretty sure is not the Spurs.

[jermaine]

Are these games shown on league pass or Broadband?

So far Maggette has passed up every shooting opportunity, I would like to see him attack the basket and draw some fouls.

[ElNono]

pretty good, considering we always seemingly get raped on early sunday games

[RD2191]

:lmao

[RD2191]

Baynes

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see Baynes get playing time. Hope the trend continues.

Though I'd rather watch Ayers than Bonner.

[loveforthegame]

More Baynes. :tu

Josepsh still not impressing.

[PingPong]

Belli + Baynes, a poor man's Manu + Splitter.

[JRHernandez88]

Thanks for the links :toast

I like what Baynes is doing ...

I'm buying this whole Maggette thing

Ayres sets some solid screens.

[jestersmash]

Jesus fucking christ I've been so depressed from last year's finals that I've been away from spurs basketball pretty much all summer. When the hell did we get Corey Maggette :lol

[ElNono]

Remember Audio League Pass is always available here:

[loveforthegame]

Maggette fouling too much.

Still liking Ayers.

[ace3g]

passing

[benstanfield]

Goddamn that manu to duncan back to manu to pendergraph assist was awesome fuckin basketball. This team will be fun.

[loveforthegame]

Like everything else Maggette is doing. I think he has a good chance of sticking with the team.

[jestersmash]

Remember Audio League Pass is always available here:

http://www.nba.com/broadband/alp_schedule.html

Nice thanks. It's not synchronized with the video but it's better than nothing.

[justinandimcool]

Maggette and Teddy are great fits

[007nites]

ayres!

[RD2191]

Splitter might be the worst finisher around the rim on the team. Ayres and Baynes looking solid.

[benstanfield]

Ayers with some rookie Tiago-esque screens for tp

[loveforthegame]

How nice to have both Baynes and Ayers off the bench this season. :tu

[jestersmash]

Goddamn that manu to duncan back to manu to pendergraph assist was awesome fuckin basketball. This team will be fun.

That reminded me of some of that 2012 Spurs magic where our passing was revered across the league. 50%+ of our possessions that season looked like this play. Just great movement and wide open shots.

[Samr.]

Ayres seems to fit in really well with these guys

[barakz21]

I think Ayres is really looking good, but I missed a few mins of the game. Anybody care to confirm or dispel it?

[RD2191]

The Answer shitting all over the Lakers.

[Axegrinder]

jeff looks good..heres a good stream http://www.drakulastream.eu/static/popups/176661875349320.html will edit out in 5 mins

[barakz21]

Maggette in limited mins is looking like a good idea IMHO, but it's another story defensively..

[RD2191]

Maggette bout to foul out

[justinandimcool]

lmao Teddy looks like twice the center Splitter is

[barakz21]

Does anybody notice that Channing Frye looks like a supersized Sean ******?

[apalisoc_9]

Man, I just woke up thinking I missed kawhi play it turns out he's not even playing.

Did pop decided to rest him or what?

[loveforthegame]

Man, I just woke up thinking I missed kawhi play it turns out he's not even playing.

Did pop decided to rest him or what?

Resting him and Diaw for Denver tomorrow I imagine.

[RD2191]

Terrible defense.

[Texas_Ranger]

tucker is the new wes johnson

[Brunodf]

Spurs should play some defense and not turn the ball over in the 2nd half...

[justinandimcool]

If Maggette can play 15 min a game this season and get to the line 5 times and not fuck up on defense I will be very happy.

[Darius Bieber]

Not a good ending to the half. Suns playing like it's the Playoffs though.

[ElNono]

pretty good game... I wonder if Pop is gonna rest the big 3 in the 2nd half or play them and sit them tomorrow

[r0drig0lac]

jeff looks good..heres a good stream http://www.drakulastream.eu/static/popups/176661875349320.html will edit out in 5 mins
god bless you

[Hoops Czar]

CoJo has played 19 minutes in the preseason and doesn't have an assist.

[benstanfield]

So if Maggette draws 3 or 4 fouls that wouldn't have been there per game, that adds another like 4 minutes to the time the starters are resting on the bench. Is that a significant thing to think about? I mean, game 6 plus 4 minutes of rest for our big guys?

[jestersmash]

If Maggette can play 15 min a game this season and get to the line 5 times and not fuck up on defense I will be very happy.

That kind of efficiency is almost unheard of, though. 5 FTA/15 minutes (or did you mean 10 FTA/15 mnutes :lol)

There are only so many possessions where he can get the ball in 15 minutes of play.

[007nites]

Maggette plays at his best when he as Timmy and Manu with him so that he can slash to the basket and get easy feeds and draw easy fouls.

[jestersmash]

The only players who get to the line at that pace are people like Kevin Durant or Lebron James, etc. Superstar players.

[Boomersgold]

Pendergraph's a great addition to the team!

[TheGreatYacht]

I expect to see more Baynes and Ayres on the court together in the second half. Hopefully Baynes and Ayres can outbid Matt Bonner for playing time throughout the season. Of course Pop <3 Matt Bonner.

[jestersmash]

CoJo has played 19 minutes in the preseason and doesn't have an assist.

He's looked quite a bit more meager than he looked last season. It looks like he's taken a step back, honestly.

All of our backup point guards have glaring flaws, though. I'd say CoJo and Patty are probably in the running. NDC just feels like he's an average basketball player all around who doesn't contribute spectacularly to any one facet of the game. His vision is generally pretty good, but he's too conservative on offense for this to matter because people know he's generally looking to pass.

[timtonymanu]

Damn, I didn't even know a preseason game was on.

How did Maggette look?

Encouraging that Ayres is having another solid outing, according to posts on here.

[justinandimcool]

The only players who get to the line at that pace are people like Kevin Durant or Lebron James, etc. Superstar players.

Historically Maggette gets about 9 attempts/36 min. He makes his living at the line. He can get 5 attempts in 15-20 minutes. Runs the break and baseline well.

[benstanfield]

How do the suns have Eric Bledsoe at backup PG and we have to choose between CoJo, Patty, or NDC??

[RD2191]

Maggette has 4 fouls in the first half of a preseason game, I've seen enough.:lol

[jestersmash]

Historically Maggette gets about 9/36 min. He makes his living at the line. He can get 5 attempts in 15-20 minutes. Runs the break and baseline well.

Yeah but he's 35 :lol

Historically he's also averaged 20 points per 36 minutes. I don't think he'll average 8-9 points per 15 minutes of play.

[ace3g]

Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Marco Belinelli, Matt Bonner, Nando De Colo starting second half. #Spurs (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs)

[Brunodf]

:lolBonner starting

[jestersmash]

God damnit NDC. Tony would've looked for that pass.

[timtonymanu]

Maggette has 4 fouls in the first half of a preseason game, I've seen enough.:lol

So then Maggette sucked? :lol

[jestersmash]

That play pretty much sums up why I don't like NDC. It just feels like he's looking to blend in and become invisible on the floor all the time. He doesn't want to do too much.

[jestersmash]

On a brighter note, Manu has looked particularly spry for these two games. He looks fantastic. Much better than last season's disaster where he just looked like he totally lost confidence.

[loveforthegame]

Joseph and NDC have been so underwhelming. :td

[jestersmash]

:lol NDC pulled already. Not surprised.

[RD2191]

So then Maggette sucked? :lol
4-4 on free throws, got to the line a couple of times. Looked okay I guess.

[Hoops Czar]

He's looked quite a bit more meager than he looked last season. It looks like he's taken a step back, honestly.

All of our backup point guards have glaring flaws, though. I'd say CoJo and Patty are probably in the running. NDC just feels like he's an average basketball player all around who doesn't contribute spectacularly to any one facet of the game. His vision is generally pretty good, but he's too conservative on offense for this to matter because people know he's generally looking to pass.
Yeah, RC clowned the Spurs this off season. What will end up happening is Ginobili will once again be asked to take over the reigns in the 4th quarter down the stretch which is exactly what the Spurs wanted to avoid coming into the season. Then, people wonder why Ginobili's game turns to shit in the post season.

CoJo needs to get his act together sooner rather than later. It's not like he's playing against lockdown defenders.

[RD2191]

What was the point of NDC even coming over?:lol

[jestersmash]

Even though manu airballed that 3, I like the confidence. He doesn't look like he's afraid to shoot anymore. There was a play in the first half where he took it to the rim and looked to score instead of always looking to pass.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, no surprise that Nando sucks. Pretty disappointing hearing about Joseph, since he is likely the best candidate. Time to give Kabongo a shot.

[jestersmash]

:lol Gortat just jumped over Duncan's back.

[Hoops Czar]

Maggette has 4 fouls in the first half of a preseason game, I've seen enough.:lol

Maggette has 4 fouls in 18 minutes. Aryes has 3 in 9. Anyways, Maggette won't see those minutes during the regular season.

[Texas_Ranger]

it sucks we still don't have a backup PG.

[jestersmash]

By the way, I'm getting audio from the atdhe link.

[ElNono]

both teams sloppy

[loveforthegame]

it sucks we still don't have a backup PG.

I was really hoping Joseph would step into that role but he's been disappointing for sure.

[ElNono]

Lots of Splitter and Diaw tomorrow... probably no Duncan

[RD2191]

tf marbury

[Fireball]

You guys like Marco so far? I miss Gary Neal tbh ... hopefully he will win me over

[jestersmash]

:lol Morris 2 fouls in 2 seconds

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner :lol

[jestersmash]

You guys like Marco so far? I miss Gary Neal tbh ... hopefully he will win me over

I like his ball handling a lot more than Gary's ball handling. Marco's shooting leaves much to be desired, though, but the sample size is pretty small so I don't really know.

[jestersmash]

And just on cue Marco drains a 3.

[loveforthegame]

You guys like Marco so far? I miss Gary Neal tbh ... hopefully he will win me over

He hasn't found his shooting touch yet but I like all the little things he's does better than Neal.

[Samr.]

Mills may be working his way into backup PG....

Never thought I'd type that.

[timtonymanu]

I don't miss Gary Neal messing up the offense with his pull-up contested 3.

[Blizzardwizard]

The team miss Gary so much Pop ordered the 'most expendable' player to shave his head so he'd look like Gary Neal from afar. Sorry Patty.

[RD2191]

Bull

[boutons_deux]

Belly Nelly plays with some swagger and confidence, movement, and with sufficient BBIQ to make a real contribution.

[benstanfield]

Pretty fitting for Mills to airball his first three. We have no backup PG and 3 deadweights on the roster.

[jestersmash]

Speaking of Gary, I'm disappointed to see that he didn't get any playing time for the Bucks' preseason opener. Wonder why.

[timtonymanu]

Mills may be working his way into backup PG....

Never thought I'd type that.

He seemed like the favorite at the beginning of last year's season, but had a pretty underwhelming year. Maybe the weight loss will help.

[loveforthegame]

More Baynes and Ayers and no more Bonner.

[jestersmash]

I like that subtle chicken wing by Baynes to create space.

[RD2191]

Baynes>Splitter, and I aint even joking.

[Axegrinder]

baynes lefty hook??

[ace3g]

Speaking of Gary, I'm disappointed to see that he didn't get any playing time for the Bucks' preseason opener. Wonder why.

He had some ankle issues lately, but he did play in 2 Bucks games so far

[timtonymanu]

Remember when the Spurs had a weakness in the frontcourt just a season ago?

Now the PG slot is our weakest position.

[jestersmash]

I don't miss Gary Neal messing up the offense with his pull-up contested 3.

Gary mostly made me cringe on defense. I didn't mind his occasional pull up 3 point jumper.

[jestersmash]

He had some ankle issues lately, but he did play in 2 Bucks games so far

Oh interesting. Thanks. Yeah I just wanted to check the box scores to see how he's doing.

[Samr.]

Baynes and Ayres look like legitimate rotation players. Maybe it's the "y instead of an i" thing?

[loveforthegame]

Watching Baynes and Ayers is so much better than Bonner and Blair.

[ace3g]

how was that a foul on Baynes?

[jestersmash]

Patty draining 3s left and right.

[loveforthegame]

Mills is certainly making the most of his opportunity. Unlike Joseph and NDC.

[Axegrinder]

GO PATTY

[jestersmash]

Good pass by Mills even though we didn't score.

[look_at_g_shred]

Couldn't watch the game. Pros? Cons?

[jestersmash]

And good aggressive move by Patty even though he missed that chip layup. I know it's only a game but I'm leaning towards Patty over CoJo/NDC at the moment.

[ElNono]

lol @ that marbury runner

[Axegrinder]

Nando got the hook in how many seconds?

[007nites]

Baynes sucks at the pick and roll

[RD2191]

Cojo looks scared out there, he's afraid to drive, won't take a jump shot, he isn't setting anyone up either. Looking like garbage.

[PingPong]

All scrub lineup right now...

[loveforthegame]

If I never have to watch another game with NDC.

[RD2191]

:lmaoGranny again?

[jestersmash]

Who's that old woman they keep showing in the rafters? They showed her dancing in that section last game as well.

[ElNono]

not granny again :pctoss

[loveforthegame]

Maggette is going to foul out. :lol

[jestersmash]

Actually it was funny because at one point they showed her dancing and then some other guy came in and started dancing in front of her and the entire crowed booed him :lol

[Samr.]

how was that a foul on Baynes?

When he swung around, did you see him demolish that sun player who ran into him? They said that's where the foul was. I don't think it was a foul on Baynes because I don't think it was intentional, but there's no doubt in my mind that other guy is gonna feel it in the morning. That being said though, a player gets ruined like that, and as a ref i think they just felt compelled to call something.

[Chinook]

Can someone tell me how Green has five assists and only one turnover (in only 10 minutes at that)? I haven't been watching the game, so I don't know. Were they just from passes within the system, or did he actually make plays for others?

[loveforthegame]

Ayers with some solid passing.

[loveforthegame]

In 17 minutes Ayers has 8 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and a steal.

[jestersmash]

Ayers with a great line. 4-5 shooting. Hopefully that mid-range jumper is a consistent facet of his game.

[benstanfield]

Granted I didn't see Sam Young against CSKA, but I don't think I have ever seen a worse player in an NBA jersey than NDC today.

[ElNono]

Can someone tell me how Green has five assists and only one turnover (in only 10 minutes at that)? I haven't been watching the game, so I don't know. Were they just from passes within the system, or did he actually make plays for others?

no idea, tbh... he didn't play much at all

[Fireball]

Really hoping Marco finds his shooting touch ... Baynes still does some nice things, just the last few seconds were a little bit meh

[RD2191]

The Answer

[loveforthegame]

NDC has to go. I mean how many chances does he need?

[Hoops Czar]

Nando De Crapo....

[RD2191]

That granny is looking for some dick, someone page Kool.

[Texas_Ranger]

cut de colo already...

[Fireball]

PlayNando :lol

[Axegrinder]

wow nando sucking hard

[RD2191]

Ayres>Splitter

[jestersmash]

Nice fake by Maggette

[Samr.]

Ayres really likes that turnaround.

I really like that.

[TheyCallMePro]

Where's Myck Kabongo? Was he cut? Don't even see him listed on the roster today...

[look_at_g_shred]

So Ayres impressing? Nice.

[Samr.]

Wow. Ayres was actually able to make NDC score. Now THAT takes some talent!!

[007nites]

Maggette has been at the line all night

[Juggity]

maggette can hit free throws. Sign him up.

[look_at_g_shred]

Maggette has been at the line all night
Living up to the ST reputation I see..

[RD2191]

Could of used Maggette in game 6:lol

[Dex]

Ayres passing has been surprising.

[Darius Bieber]

Maggette is out... During a Pre-Season game..

[Hoops Czar]

Maggette will be alright for 10-12 minutes a game but Leonard better not miss much time this year.

Pretty sure nando has missed every wide open shot tonight.

[Juggity]

I think De Colo now officially qualifies as a failed experiment

[007nites]

De Colo is garbage

[Samr.]

Courtney Fells has 7 rebounds. Don't know who that is or that the Spurs had him, but 7 rbs in 14 minutes is pretty good.

[Libri]

So now Manu and De Colo are the current most hated Spurs?

[Flawless]

Patty Mills had been playing pretty good, hope he gets the backup point position.

De Colo is, it seems. He's easier to hate.

[Samr.]

Patty Mills has to be the star of this game.

I'm also starting to like this Fells guy. Though I just learned his name.

[ElNono]

good game... patty locking up that backup PG spot so far

[PingPong]

This game is a joke.

[loveforthegame]

Ayers, Baynes, and Mills continue to impress. :tu

Maggette is still interesting.

Joseph and NDC need to get with the program. Quick.

Not if Bonner gets significant minutes this year.

Maggette played his last game 10 months ago, so it's nice to see him able to do good things after so much time off.

[Samr.]

I could take it or leave it if the Spurs sign Maggette. There's benefit to having him, but there's also benefit to having that open roster spot.

I'm really disappointed in ndc and joseph. As it stands, if our last roster spot was left open, it would still be a more skilled position than either of those two guys.

Baynes, Ayres, Belinelli are all big bright spots to me. Those three guys are major upgrades at the backup C, PF, and SG.

Went to school with Fells. Watched him play at State numerous times

Maggette would be an OK backup but a terrible insurance policy.

Didn't watch the game, but if Ayres can hit the mid-range jumper consistently he should have the 4th big spot locked up. Which is great seeing how last season that was a chink in our armor.
