[ElNono]

well, preseason ovah... bring the goods :hungry:

[tim_duncan_fan]

Swear to god if Pop ignores Baynes this year....

[jag]

Pop outcoached per the usual.


His ship has sailed. It's time for Pop to do the honorable thing and step down.

[bklynspursfan]

DeColo has looked really bad this pre season... I hope Pop uses Mills as the backup PG. Cojo hasn't looked great either

Nope. As the captain of a sinking ship, it's only honorable for him to go down with his ship.

[Ditty]

Trade everyone! Tank for Wiggins!

[podesta]

+1

[eDizzle20]

Baynes created so many boards for his teammates simply based on how well he boxed out. From the looks of it he worked extremely hard in the offseason. He looks like he is in great shape. He ran the court great. I really look forward to watching him play.

[Hoops Czar]

Ayres/Bonner fighting hard for that fifth big spot. Should be a close race.

[jeebus]

Baynes needs to rebound better, not helped by his little arms.
:lol oh ok

[Suspect]

:cry it's just preseason :cry

7'2.5" wingspan.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Aron-Baynes-5086/stats/

Know what you are talking about before you post. He was boxing out the opponents bigs which should have allowed our forwards to rebound but they couldn't get shit.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yea I agree. ..

I don't Green is ever going to be a 'good' ballhandler but he has stopped trying to do the mad dash to the hoop and it is paying dividends. He will now pull up, dribble out and use hesitations to good effect.

I thought he was going to wait until TD retires and then step down?

Post factual information. I'm down with knocking off but sarcasm irl is noted by tone. Try using blue font so people do not have to guess whether or not youre a dolt.

diaw looked fat. howard seemed he can grab the rebound whenever

Pop's interviews with Craig Sager get more entertaining every year

[elmanutres]

Ayres already tied up the spurs alley oop record from last season

[xmas1997]

Mills looked good.
Ayers looked good.
And Belis' defense looks like it is improving from game to game.
I like what I see so far.
Preseason is just what I expected, lots of experimentation going on.
If they can develop Kabongo in the D league, I expect him to eventually solve the backup PG problem.

[Baseline]

I like both Ayers and Baynes. Wow, it's weird to have such big man depth on the Spurs. Remember 3 years ago when it was just the turd towers, Duncan, and McDyess holding down the 4 and 5? Exactly - I'm very pleased with the big man depth we have this year. So how in the world are we so thin at backup PG? CoJo is absolutely abominable. And he was on the floor during the NBA Finals. Unthinkable. And Nando is even worse. Please, Pop - play Patty or bring in an NBA-level PG to back up Parker.

You need to get yourself a hobby.

[elmanutres]

We look better than i expected. Just wanna share my takes

>liking ayres. Very athletic guy. Already tied up last years alley oop record :lol. Athleticism, while not very important, is something we lack in this ballclub
> Baynes looks much better this year. Looks like he is developing a shot. Still built like an ox. I like that putback dunk he did
> Patty's shot looks much better. We'll see how he stacks up with meaningful minutes.
> looks like tiago is psychologically scarred from the heat series last year.
> bellinelli's defense is weak, but he has admitted he is getting used to the spurs defensive rotation. Better than neal
> We were getting blowout by like 30 at one point. But what interested me was that the bench was called up and the rockets starters where still on the floor, and yet our bench was slowly clawing back.
> we did good considering kawhi and gino sat.

Doesn't rebound or play defense though. Can't seem to understand why SA is paying him two millions a year. Probably going to be one of those small contracts that SA regrets like DeColo and Jackie Butler.

[Budkin]

:cry it's just preseason :cry

Really?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I have several. Nonetheless, sarcasm is denoted by tone irl. When you say stupid shit, covering it up with "I was being sarcastic" rings hollow on the interwebs.

OTOH, if that was indeed an attempt at a joke then it was a very poor one. Either way try harder next time.

You really are the biggest loser I have come across on the interwebs, you just bitch and whine about meaningless shit. You may notice this writing is not in blue.

If you think finding importance in accuracy in facts and in communication is the mark of a loser then I really do not know what to tell you. Attention to detail leads to success. Seems your ethic makes one more prone to lose. But hey if calling me a loser makes you feel better then go for it.

People may have been misled to what the reality of Baynes arm length. The wording in your post was misleading and there was no indication in a one liner that you were anything but earnest. For example there was no obvious absurdity as would be the case had you been talking about Leonard. You can make whatever unverifiable claims that you like after the fact. It reads as a whimper to my eyes.

I pointed out the inaccuracy and you got asshurt about it. You can try and label me as this or that but that does not detract from anything that I have said. As I pointed out, I am all for knocking off but I am not for misleading people especially at their expense for kicks nor am I for shitty jokes. You choose which version you prefer.
