It'd be nice if Daye could streak right for multiple games. That Philly game seemed to intriguing. Even if he's not consistent, if he could bring a few 4/7, 3/5, 6/9 games in a row, it would mean so much, especially if they happened on b2b's or long road trips.

You know me. I am a die hard homer Laker fan. I think they are going to the finals every year and I am right half the time. I think they are going to win those when they do and I am right half the time there too. Not a bad record over my lifetime if I so say so myself.

I think they have a great shot at winning it all. They are going to have a full camp for one. They brought Eddie Jordan to run the offense and are going Princeton. Regarless of what the butthurt Midget says, Nash and Howard were not lateral moves. Anyone stating so is a moron. I understand his motivation though. I find a lot of humor in it.

We improved the bench with Jamison. We resigned Hill who is a decent backup and only had a hanful of games with the team and did quite well. We could use one more backup shooter with range. I would actually welcome Barbosa as I see him as a good fit in a reserve roll. I don't think the Lakers are done.

Several points. Kobe is going to have to realize hes not going to get 25+ shots. I think he is finally at the point of his career that he will be willing to play a less ball dominant role. They have guys now that wont wilt under pressure and look to him to bail them out either. Well see. The Princeton offense is ideal for Pau's skills. He wilted last year with Bynum handling the ball more. I see a better year for him.

Howard was an ideal pickup with regards to the way the team is constructed as is. With Nash's well known less than stellar defence and Kobe getting slower Howards D is much better than Drews. Drew played decent help D and could clog the lanes. Teams figured it out and pulled him out on the switches and he got beat. Howard is a much better one on one defender and moves much quicker. On offense. Bynum has better post moves. Howard is a better pick and roll player and will get more hustle garbage points. What would you rather have with Nash and Kobe in the back court. It is not even close to a lateral move when considering the direction they are taking. Howard can run the floor a whole lot better than Drew too.

The Lakers have a sweet squad. Brown can concentrate on D. Eddie can take the offense. Kobe if he is smart will realize he will get more total points career wise by slowing down and playing less mins with this squad and extending his career maybe another year or two. Nash, Howard, and Jamison are all very hungry. We shall see. You always need luck and the injury gods to be on your side.

I really like our chances.

Spurs look like complete trash. Again, don't care if we win the game, but I wanna see more spurts of good play. They look really, really bad.

They're missing Leonard and Tiago. You need those two players to play well.

Cotton has a partial guarantee. That is a tool to get a player to sign with one team over another, knowing they'll likely be cut anyway. That partial guarantee is probably more money than he will make with the Austin club this year, so it's kind of a way to skirt the d-league salary structure.

Interesting that Pop brought Kyle off the bench for 17 minutes tonight, to see if he could still produce. He did. Also interesting that 17 minutes is about what Kawhi WON'T be playing each game.

The kid can ball. I can see the work Chip has done, even just between SL and the preseason. His release is MUCH more vertical, less cocking back. It's the same thing Chip did with Kawhi. If Kyle has a legit dangerous 3 point jumper, it opens up the rest of his game. He has a good ball fake, and they have to honor it, allowing him to penetrate and dish, kick, or score.

I thought Kawhi might be back for the opener, but I just read this and it doesn't sound too good at all.


http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2014/10/22/leonards-eye-infection-persists/

“It persists,” Popovich said in the hours before Wednesday’s exhibition game against Atlanta. “His eyes are still red; one is half-closed. It looks ugly.”


Not sure if Splitter will be back either for the opener as it mentions he's out indefinitely to start the season.



and Tiago (Splitter, who is out indefinitely with a calf strain) to start the season.

yeah pretty much. thats basically Marco's offensive game right now. If Anderson can get to that point in his rookie season, it would be incredible

Well that's just too bad, the Spurs could have signed Korver if it weren't for his wife.

Now we are stuck with Ayres and Belinelli instead.

Anderson should run that offense instead of standing in a corner, he'd do a better job than Cojo...

That's the problem with Cojo, when he handles the ball the offense goes stagnant. He's can penetrate, has a decent jump shot but has absolutely no play making skills.

I agree, KA will do a much better jobs at running the offense. In fact, KA can only play well if he has good players around him. Stick him with a mediocre group and he also becomes mediocre.

Don't agree with this. His team at UCLA wasn't full of talent. He still stood out and was able to be the playmaker he is. In fact, there was talk of him actually being a lottery pick. The kid makes other players better.

10-23-2014, 11:56 AM
Some thoughts:

It really feels like KA caught Pop and the Coaching Staff's eye in the last few games. I think it could be a CIA Pop move to extend Kawhi's recovery time, once he saw something he could work with in KA. You can keep Kawhi fresh by getting KA mins at the 3 spot and using Kawhi's time to develop him more. Love the injury development Spurs do, by the time a player comes back, his diamond in the rough backup is now polished.

Am I foolish to be slightly optimistic on Austin Daye? I love the usage at the 4 spot lately, and if he can just sit back as Bonner 2.0 with all that top 15 pick athleticism, that's an upgrade. Don't dress Ayres and bring KA and Daye off the end of the bench IMO if those two keep it up. Daye isn't really even doing that much either, just seems a little smoother in the flow of the offense.

For everyone worried about Manu's TOs and Missed FGs, team TOs in general, foul rates, especially of the bigs, and general poor chemistry:

Cmon, it's pre-season! Plus, I think Manu is mad about the national team thing, and is passive aggressively returning rusty and lackluster to stick it to the FO. "See, if you let me play for ARG, I'd be less rusty right now.. Like Boris..."

Spurs looked rusty as hell and disinterested at points last year, too. If you thought they dragged their feet last season, just wait till this year. Don't expect much D and hustle consistency throughout the reg season. Just like last year, you'll see just enough of the flashes to know. They are going to lay low and try to stay healthy and peak at the right time, and will do just enough to protect seeding interests otherwise. But with over 90% of the corporate knowledge returning, we know it can flick on like a switch, barring health.

Remember all those DNPs that developed the likes of Green and Mills and conditioned Diaw? You'll take a DNP in Feb. from the big 3 if it gets a more polished/usable KA in May.
