Obvious topics of discussion for the upcoming season

[DAF86]

I got "Should Patty get his backup PG position back or should we remain riding the CoJo express?", you know it's happening. What you got?

[dabom]

Why hasn't Kawhi got more ISO plays? Pop is stifling Kawhi's development.

[ManuTastic]

Oh! Oh! I dibs "Can we trade Manu while he still has ANY value???"

[dabom]

Why is errors still on the roster?

[moisaenz]

we cant beat elite teams..

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Why hasn't Kawhi got more ISO plays? Pop is stifling Kawhi's development.

Because we're not a fucking isolation team? Do you even watch the spurs :rollin

If Kawhi could dribble he'd get the ball more in P&R situations.

[SURGE]

Why don't we sign Andray Blatche he's young and can produce

[dabom]

Because we're not a fucking isolation team? Do you even watch the spurs :rollin

Are you a fucking moron? No ISO's in the post? I'm pretty sure we don't fucking pass the ball or PNR the entire game. We still throw the rock to TD a lot every game. I'm pretty sure that pass happy shit with role players doesn't get you past the mavs.
The season is to develop our players. Kawhi in the future when Manu and Tim leave, and he'll have to be a better offensive player. He will need an arsenal.

Kawhi's main strengths are ISO shooting or slashing to the rim or posts. He is more ISO heavy on offence when he is initiating the offence. It's like you're just a fucking terrible troll. :lmao

[anakha]

Pop has lost it/Messina should take over.

[RD2191]

Is Parker porking Hammon?

LOL LMAO This is AUGUST 12. The season is over. Has been for 2 full months and you have the ignorance to ask this question now? Pop is the coach and we just won the LOB trophy for the 5th time under his leadership. Get a life dude. He will use Kawhi more this next season but it will still less than fans like you want. The Spurs will win 55+ games be in the top 3 in the West and make the WCF and maybe even the Finals.

I don't understand if you know the presence of this thread. It is to make fun of the cliffjumpers. You need to make your post in blue next time.

Is this an observation or a topic? Could be both, tbh.

[ElNono]

- Gutless Worms
- It's obvious we're scared and not going to beat OKC
- Manu is made of glass
- Reggie Jackson bogeyman
- Team X improved, we got fat and happy and stood pat. I called this last august, now in october it's too late to do anything about it
- This FO is negligent
- Watch this team lose HCA despite a 10 win lead
- Why are we running Diaw ragged?

Why don't we foul up 3?

[wildcardX]

1. Kyle Anderson is a bust
2. Why is Ayres, Bonner, etc. getting more minutes than Kyle Anderson
3. The church of next mid season D-league player signing
4. Glad we traded Paul George, part 2
5. It's all the FO fault for not signing a big name free agent in the off season

[Obstructed_View]

That's what I thought your answer was going to be the first time. Makes sense, but then you came out guns a'blazin' at Jars (who didn't get the premise) in an attempt to defend that take that Kawhi needs more ISOs. Man, we're off to the races!

Karma's a bitch. You've been a pain in the internet's ass for quite a while.

Joking aside, hope it gets better. I had a back issue and it took a long time to heal. If it's any consolation, it gets worse with age. You're welcome. Make sure to ice it, heat it, elevate it, exercise it, take the proper meds, and see a specialist. None of that will work, but it'll keep you busy.

I don't know. I think you guys should continue. I like it. Kawhi needs a few more touches, but not too many, but I think he'll get some. And, Jars is right: He can't really dribble.

Don't get me wrong, though, pleasantly surprised with his ball handling abilities. Better than expected. I was expecting another Bruce Bowen.

But, you two elaborate. We have until the 30th before even FIBA begins. How do we fill...the empty spaces...

Yeah, nothing ever really helps except trying to ignore the pain. :lol Thanks for the advice.

[ElNono]

IMO, Kawhi ISOs don't have to involve handles that much. He's already well above average in the post for a wing, and he's been isolated before where he has a solid mid-range jumper after a couple pump-fakes...

While I don't expect his stats to shine overall due to minute management, I do think his number will be called more often now.

The pain comes and goes. I'm not even sure it's back pain. I'm thinking kidney stones. I worry though since I have a very high pain tolerance. Don't really know when to head to the ER. Damn near passed out in the bathroom last time. Usually passes by within a few hours though.

I mean his PNR is still good. Definitely above average.

at 1:12 , 1:35 , 1:45 and 1:57

You see less PNR by kawhi because he was benched for a long stretch in the middle of the game.

He really is beaming talent, but pop needs to trust him to handle a bigger load.

If it's in the lower back, then that leg wedge really will relieve that pain.

This is actually a legitimate concern, as other posters have noticed too, tbh.

I liked Pop "leadership" comment to TP in the Finals, euphemism for "stop chucking and give the ball to Manu and Kawhi, we want to win this", I'm hoping it translates to next season, but you never know...

I have a feeling Parker is going to try to come back and show that last year wasn't a decline, it was just an injury-riddled season.

That certainly could mean we see more MVParker.

:lol it is not a legit concern

I always like your sidebacked compliment toward Parker, always a joy to read.

The comment about chucking is also silly when we talk about a .5 from the floor. The leadership comment to TP had nothing to do with chucking. During these POs Parker had a 15 FGA per game that's 2 less than last year but same amount than in 2009-2010. Dude is just doing whatever Pop and him think is good for the team.

Fwiw there is a long interview of Boris in l'equipe mag (French magazine), he said for instance TP announced at one point during the games he will get rid of the ball quickly to him or Manu because of the way opponent is defending.

You make it sound like somebody has been obliged to tell him to go on the back seat when basically he is fully capable to see that by himself. Moreover all FNT management will tell Parker don't care about his stats, he cares about winning games and titles. If he was a selfish prick like ST like to describe him he would never stay in that team for so long under pop management or even be best buddy of a guy like Boris.

Like Dale would say... let us proceed

Look, Rob...you know that I love your cliff-jumping self. (And in saying that you do remember that I'm not a guy, right?) Get yourself to a doc-in-a-box and get this checked out. I can tell you for sure that if you are in that much pain it needs to get checked out. This is advice from an 'over-the-hill for sure' body who lives with back pain all the time.

[TD 21]

Why isn't Leonard playing more, why doesn't he have a more featured role in the offense and why is Pop so hard on him?

Everyone should know the answers to the first two by now, but the answer to the third is, Pop not wanting his head to get too big because of the Finals MVP. He'll want to make sure he remembers the player he is (which is essentially being an elite role player, not an elite wing scorer) and to not develop the massive ego that most star players possess and most people in general develop when they become famous, or in his case, more famous.

I don't know what it is but, why did Argentina allow almost every living nazi war criminal to live freely in their country after WWII?

[EVAY]

I don't know what it is but, why did Argentina allow almost every living nazi war criminal to live freely in their country after WWII?

After WWII, a lot of fascists were more comfortable in a country that tolerated (and for a while even practiced) fascism because they were so unwelcome (to put it mildly)
in their country of origin. In Italy, for example, the communists were the bulk of the anti-German guerrilla forces and they were not very happy with countrymen who had supported Mussolini or the Germans. In France, the same thing occurred with the maquis (the french guerrilla forces during the war). Reprisals by the victors was pretty sure to be kinda deadly for the fascisti or collaborators.

And, in those two countries (Italy and France), the fascisti had money to buy their way into Argentina. Germans did too, although most of them died before they got a chance to get over there.

Prior to the war, Argentina was a place that Italian immigrants went to flee persecution. So not all of the Italian or German names from Argentina are descendants of the
losers of WWII. It was just a place that immigrants in if they had money.

1. Cory Joseph should be back up PG the rest of the season(after 1 good game)
2. Why isn't Mills the 2nd string PG(after his first game back)
3. Splitter and Ayres for Greg Monroe at trade deadline
4. Jeff Ayres trade for Andray Blatche
5. Why is Ayres still on the team? The FO are idiots
6. Manu should've retired in the offseason

[cd021]

I have a feeling Parker is going to try to come back and show that last year wasn't a decline, it was just an injury-riddled season.

That certainly could mean we see more MVParker.

MVParker could score and create at a high level averaging at least 18 ppg and 7.5 assists in the '11-'12 and '12-'13 seasons.

He should be back at those numbers, which should only help the Spurs. A big reason why our starting lineup struggled was because Parker wasn't playing at as high of a level (along with Green not getting open looks, Leonard shooting poorly from 3 to start the season and Duncan's jumper not falling)
