tiago still injured i'm assuming?

:flag:

[spursistan]

I wonder who is going to join Manu/Mills in their road trip dinners/random escapades now that Boris is gone..Pau seems like an aloof type or it would be him.....

[apalisoc_9]

Interested to see how Pop positions Parker-LMA-Kawhi-Pau...Last year, Kawhi was rarely in the same side as Lamarcus and would often times resort in ISOs are a pass from the other side because timmy was somewhat inept offensively outside of maybe his smart screens and seals.

[r0drig0lac]

GOOD!!!

[Ron Swanson]

tiago still injured i'm assuming?

Tiago is always injured.

We don't even get LP.... have to find stadium feed somewhere.

Wow..a few days ago it was on LP according to the hawkd website.

[Kawhitstorm]

I wonder who is going to join Manu/Mills in their road trip dinners/random escapades now that Boris is gone..Pau seems like an aloof type or it would be him.....

Danny seems like an outgoing dude but Patty/Manu seem too snobbish when it comes to Americans.:rolleyes

[SpurPadre]

tiago still injured i'm assuming?

Yeah, Trump grabbed him by the pussy a bit too hard, tbh.

[dabom]

Snobbish? Where the fuck did you get this? Those are the two highest character players on our team. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Snobbish? Where the fuck did you get this? Those are the two highest character players on our team. :lol

Yeah and Danny and Manu have a good relationship too. I remember Danny crying after losing to the Clips in '15 saying he was worried that was the last time he'd play with Manu, who was one of the first players to console him after the game.

[apalisoc_9]

Danny seems like an outgoing dude but Patty/Manu seem too snobbish when it comes to Americans.:rolleyes

I noticed that tbh. I'm not sure if Foreigners have some sort of superiority complex or soemthing. I know Americans can be the most ignorant of all nationalities, but there is no reason why people can't just hang out...

I've usually noticed this with some rich foreigners In Canada..mid-class or Poor immigrants can be the most white washed..Rich foreingers visting the west temporarily can be far worse than the worse american though. Hate those scums...they come here and talk shit about how boring and lame Canada is and if it wasnt for business they wouldbt come..( Euros..and some bratty chinese)

Just personal observation though. Not sayiny it applies to Manu and co.

What makes Patty and Manu snobby?

Manu/Patty are exemplary teammates but in a social setting they patronize Americans b/c they lack "worldly" views.

[apalisoc_9]

Game is in 15 minutes..

trying to find a link for everyone

Except they don't. WTF. Lol

[raybies]

trying to find a link for everyone

was waiting for someone to mention that.

[apalisoc_9]

Damn..Hawks messageboard has zero links. :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Reddit links are NBAleague pass links that says " this is not televised"

:lol

[raybies]

wish chinook was in here with the reddit board reminder...

[raybies]

welp... well theres that

[apalisoc_9]

Not as active tonight as the Suns game..

We need more people working on to find a link...

[apalisoc_9]

wow..No ones going to watch tonight? need that jumbotroon links guys

[Flawless]

wow..No ones going to watch tonight? need that jumbotroon links guys
Looking for a link, can't find anything though.

[apalisoc_9]

Looking for a link, can't find anything though.

Yeah..Been looking for a link for 5 minutes but nothing.

the Hawks forum is dead..For a team that has made consecutive playoffs..Hawks fanbase is non-existant.

[ElNono]

can't find shit so far... sucks neither team are officially streaming

[raybies]

well I guess it's the radio tonight then

[apalisoc_9]

can't find shit so far... sucks neither team are officially streaming

Yeah..I browsed all their forum and pre-season threads..Nothing on the Hawks end.

I guess no one is watching this game. Im sure there is a stream somewhere though because NBA.com needs highlights of some sort...

Hopefully someone with authority is kind enough to post those links...

[Kawhitstorm]

Except they don't. WTF. Lol

...........which explains why all the foreigners hang out together except Porky who is shunned by everyone like Kirby.:sleep

Not it says pre-season game not televised...

Just like with all the links in reddit

[apalisoc_9]

Looks like we lost this one boys...Im not seeing anything from spurs and hawks fans..

Every link so far has either been "not televised" or some BS link.

[playblair]

Not it says pre-season game not televised...

Just like with all the links in reddit

it changed moments ago to not televised:bang

[Mel_13]

Coach Bud got a nice ovation.

New order for intros without Timmy:

Tony
Danny
Pau
Kawhi
LMA

Periscope please

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Oh man what a nice turnaround hook from Gasol!


Kawhi with the steal at halfcourt and a breakaway dunk, Prince wanting a foul :lol



At least this is what I am imagining is happening in the game.

[Mel_13]

Periscope please

:lol

[raybies]

:)

[Ron Swanson]

Well, this sucks.

[siraulo23]

i remember all preseason games available on league pass last year, what happened this year :lol

[raybies]

forget this I'm getting the radio out

[apalisoc_9]

damn...Game started 5 minutes ago.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i remember all preseason games available on league pass last year, what happened this year :lol

They're trying to avoid a lockout so the owners are trying to cut costs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

[YGWHI]

Oh man what a nice turnaround hook from Gasol!

At least this is what I am imagining is happening in the game.

But Pau missed, right? I fear we'll see a lot of those missed shots this new season

[apalisoc_9]

i remember all preseason games available on league pass last year, what happened this year :lol

Yeah..Ive been able to watch every preseason game for the last two years...

[playblair]

[Chinook]

periscope https://www.periscope.tv/w/1PlJQkvraYMKE

:lol

[apalisoc_9]

periscope https://www.periscope.tv/w/1PlJQkvraYMKE

I refuse to watch this shitty stream taken in a shitty angle.

Power to you. Must be a headace. :lol

[timtonymanu]

I don't even waste time watching these preseason games. They're never televised and available. I'll just read someone's cliff notes after the game.

[YGWHI]

Finally Kawhi took a shot. All starters shot before...Then Pop says he wants Kawhi to stay aggressive...Suuure.

[Kawhitstorm]

I don't even waste time watching these preseason games. They're never televised and available. I'll just read someone's cliff notes after the game.

There should be an extended highlight tomorrow.

[apalisoc_9]

There should be an extended highlight tomorrow.

That only happens with televised game. At most you get a minute highlight.

[ace3g]

Ime coaching tonight.

[Chinook]

What radio station do the Spurs broadcasts come on? I probably don't get it up here, but at least I would know where to look.

[playblair]

I refuse to watch this shitty stream taken in a shitty angle.

Power to you. Must be a headace. :lol

when youre jonesing u will take any hit u can find :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA out there chuckin':lol

[ElNono]

What radio station do the Spurs broadcasts come on? I probably don't get it up here, but at least I would know where to look.

WOAI, but their iheart radio stream is not the game... that's coz the NBA charges for the audio league pass

[apalisoc_9]

LMA out there chuckin':lol

3rd tier star chucking..This is why this team is going nowhere... :lol

[Mel_13]

Pop was definitely out there for the National Anthem, but he's not on the bench now. No Messina either.

Ime in charge.

[Chinook]

WOAI, but their iheart radio stream is not the game... that's coz the NBA charges for the audio league pass

Oh course...

[Kawhitstorm]

WOAI, but their iheart radio stream is not the game... that's coz the NBA charges for the audio league pass

NBA is a piece of shyt when the NFL broadcasts preseason games for free & advertises it as if it's a playoff game.

[Mel_13]

Finally Kawhi took a shot. All starters shot before...Then Pop says he wants Kawhi to stay aggressive...Suuure.

Kawhi took the first shot of the game.

[apalisoc_9]

Typical Aldridge chucking...

Manu still a boss at 39

[apalisoc_9]

Would have been nice to see the hopefulls plays with the regulars...Hopefully the game on Monday is on league pass...

Plus dedmon with better talent...

[YGWHI]

Kawhi took the first shot of the game.

And he made the FTs but in the next 3 minutes he didn't take a shot. Like last season, they're trying to involve LMA early in the game, that part of the offense has no changed

[Kawhitstorm]

Would have been nice to see the hopefulls plays with the regulars...Hopefully the game on Monday is on league pass...

Borrego is going to coach the scrubs in the 2nd half.

[YGWHI]

Pop was definitely out there for the National Anthem, but he's not on the bench now. No Messina either.

Ime in charge.

Michael Wright (ESPN) on Twitter said that Ime will coach the first half and Borrego the 2nd.

[Kawhitstorm]

Like last season, they're trying to involve LMA early in the game, that part of the offense has no changed

Cripples do the same for ReDick

[apalisoc_9]

And he made the FTs but in the next 3 minutes he didn't take a shot. Like last season, they're trying to involve LMA early in the game, that part of the offense has no changed

Pre-season bro..relax.

We need to get everyones hands wet to prepare for a tough and long season.

I think Gasol finding his role and rhytem with this team is the most important...He needs to find his shots and take them

[apalisoc_9]

Dedmon offensivel foul :sad

Hopefully, they can work on finding Gasol his Spots in the Second Quarter or something..We already know what we can get with Kawhi and the Big Man Chucker Aldridge...Need to work with Gasol...

[Kawhitstorm]

Pre-season bro..relax.

We need to get everyones hands wet to prepare for a tough and long season.

I think Gasol finding his role and rhytem with this team is the most important...He needs to find his shots and take them

I think the plan is to go to Pau at the end of games b/c Softridge is a frontrunner.:toast

[TheGreatYacht]

Checking NBA.com on my phone.... Kyle is the backup 3. Ew

[Mel_13]

Michael Wright (ESPN) on Twitter said that Ime will coach the first half and Borrego the 2nd.

Thanks.

[kaji157]

Anyone watching?

[apalisoc_9]

I think the plan is to go to Pau at the end of games b/c Softridge is a frontrunner.:toast

Yup..Thats the beauty of Having Pau. If that Vagina Chucker is out of sorts ( happens very often), Pau is out there to provide the inside gravity...

Hopefully a no Aldridge clutch minutes every now and then too...

[YGWHI]

Cripples do the same for ReDick

But I don't hear Doc saying he wants Blake to stay aggressive all game...

If Pop wants that, he should do something about it instead of running plays for LMA all first quarter..


Pre-season bro..relax.

We need to get everyones hands wet to prepare for a tough and long season.

I think Gasol finding his role and rhytem with this team is the most important...He needs to find his shots and take them

I'm fine. :lol

I just hate LP this year. Like others posted here, I watched 2015 preaseason games without any issues

[apalisoc_9]

Hopefully this isnt another shitty three point season from Green

[Kawhitstorm]

TP looking great. 4/4

Green still can't shoot. 0/3 from three, 3 fouls in 9 min

Simmons licking his chomps

[Hoops Czar]

That Dedmon is a rebounding machine.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good of Brett Brown to not play Okafor and Noel so they can be healthy for us

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons licking his chomps
Free Simmons
Free Forbes

[TheGreatYacht]

The one that got away, Jordan McRae, once again leading the Cavs in scoring

[YGWHI]

Kawhi took 4 2P shots and 4 3-three point shots and missed 3 of them...

I remember that game against Clippers when Pop said that Kawhi wasn't JJ but now with Pau/LMA in the paint, he'll take more those shots...Not a big fan of this. We're not the Warriors :lol

[Hoops Czar]

Head of the snake doing head of the snake things.

[TheGreatYacht]

Head of the snake doing head of the snake things.
MVParker - 15pts, 3reb, 2ast, 1stl, 7/8 shooting

[TheGreatYacht]

Ouch Anthony in over Dedmon

[Robz4000]

October/November Parker is a Top PG in the league.

[Hoops Czar]

MVParker - 15pts, 3reb, 2ast, 1stl, 7/8 shooting

Damn, three rebounds more than 7'0" Dedmon.

[TheGreatYacht]

Damn, three rebounds more than 7'0" Dedmon.
:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

The one that got away, Jordan McRae, once again leading the Cavs in scoring

McRae was born to dominate pre-season games, he holds the record for most points in a D-League game. In any case, I feel like he has some baggage which caused his demotion to the D-League even when he used to get buckets in his sleep. Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up being JR Smith 2.0

[YGWHI]

Most fans thought that Parker would spot-up more this new season and Kawhi would be more involved in P&Rs...But Parker tonight took 0 3's

I wonder how effective this strategy will look in playoffs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Starters were on par to have 3 players score above 20+ Pts :tu

Bench looked acceptable. Humphries is getting whatever he wants though.

Time for the scrubs

[TheGreatYacht]

He's getting his ass dug in by rookie Delaney on the other end.:lol
Danny should guard the other team's PG if he's not going to help offensively tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

Damn, Simmons and that midget Argie just got ATL back in the game. 3 turnovers in 2 minutes

[Hoops Czar]

Dedmon might foul out after all.

[TheGreatYacht]

After fouling out last game.... Dedmon has 4 fouls in 10 minutes tonight

Harlem's #1 free agent

[YGWHI]

He's getting his ass dug in by rookie Delaney on the other end.:lol
Not a biased post. :tu

Even our horrible local media say the same thing.

That's what help defense is for or should I say what help defense?

[313]

WIll Green ever be able to shoot again

[TheGreatYacht]

Not a biased post, but I'm biased.:lol

"What help defense?" is going to be the norm from now on, since our best defensive player retired.

[TheGreatYacht]

He'll make his shots count in the club. Not sure about on the court though

[YGWHI]

784937714487468032

On offense. In the first months of the season.

As Spurs fans we have a name for that..."November Parker"

[TimDunkem]

Simmons stinking it up.

[Kawhitstorm]

He'll make his shots count in the club. Not sure about on the court though

Wade might make more 3s than Danny this upcoming season.:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

On offense. In the first months of the season.

As Spurs fans we have a name for that..."November Parker"
Thankfully we finally have playoff performers again in Aldridge and Gasol

[TheGreatYacht]

Wade might make more 3s than Danny this upcoming season.:lol
3/4 tonight IIRC :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons stinking it up.

Forbes has crashed the party. Murray/Bertans are the ones that look like a keeper.

[TimDunkem]

Bertans is instant offense. :hat

[Bartleby]

Bertans is the real deal.

[YGWHI]

Not a biased post, but I'm biased.:lol

That's what help defense is for or should I say what help defense?

I'd rather see Kawhi/Danny helping bigs and boxing out more this season without Tim there.

If the Spurs just have a PG who can stay in front of this guy...What amazing thing it would be...

[TheGreatYacht]

Bertans looks great.

Deserves to be in the second unit

[ace3g]

784946457518366720

[YGWHI]

Damn...Davis' shooting :flag:

[tmtcsc]

Is there a stream available?

[ace3g]

Not use to a red head hitting 3s...

[TheGreatYacht]

Trade Kyle to Philly for Richaun Holmes. We got our backup 3

[TimDunkem]

Bertans throwdown off of an offensive rebound!

[Hoops Czar]

Bertans throwdown off of an offensive rebound!

He can play backup C too

[YGWHI]

Thankfully we finally have playoff performers again in Aldridge and Gasol

In only two games like last playoffs. Sadly, the Spurs played 10 games in the postseason. Who knows, maybe next time he'll come to play all games.

[Emperor]

It would take Kyle 29 minutes of action to reach 10 pts, if that. Bertans does it in only 9.

That Bertans statline looks promising.

[TheGreatYacht]

It would take Kyle 29 minutes of action to reach 10 pts, if that. Bertans does it in only 9.

[Hoops Czar]

It would take Kyle 29 minutes of action to reach 10 pts, if that. Bertans does it in only 9.

Bertans has more rebounds than Dedmon in 9 minutes than Dedmon has in 36.

[YGWHI]

Those DNP's...

[TimDunkem]

Bertans made Kyle look very expendable tonight and it only took one quarter.

[Kawhitstorm]

None of the scrubs on non-guaranteed contract deserve to make the team, leave the 15th spot open & pick up someone (backup wing or center) from the wavier wire.

[TheGreatYacht]

Package anyone plus but KL and LMA and Parker to go get Noel and lets start this next dynasty now.
Fixed :tu

:lol

[SAGirl]

.. well I just got home but it seems I didn't miss much since the game wasn't watchable...

[gambit1990]

Not a biased post. :tu

Even our horrible local media say the same thing.
784926197209718784
said it over the summer... in the olympics, parker was having trouble staying with his man.


784937714487468032
hawks playing without schroder, millsap, howard... tp doing good against a team he'll never meet in the finals.

he had 2 assists tonight in case anyone thought he'd change his game up. as the french saying goes... the more things change, the more things stay the same...

[bklynspursfan]

Ah the usual over analyzing stuff after the first pre-season game with all the rotation guys playing.

[SAGirl]

Most fans thought that Parker would spot-up more this new season and Kawhi would be more involved in P&Rs...But Parker tonight took 0 3's

I wonder how effective this strategy will look in playoffs.

too bad I didn't watch the game... really impossible to tell from stats what they were doing.
I still see trouble in the Lee/Dedmon pairing not a surprise Lee was the worst +/- in this game and the deep bench did much better with Bertans... /sigh

[SAGirl]

Garino didn't play... Pop is indeed sending him to the dleague apparently.

Man Simmons with 3 TO. I think he will get traded or cut at some point if he keeps it going.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu took 10 shots tonight. Double than anyone else in the bench. Shit, he shot more than Kawhi. Only 2 assists. Really concerning tbh, he better not think he's in his hero days again

[apalisoc_9]

Pre-season guys, dont take anything from it in terms of shot distribution, rotations etc...Gasol being relegated to 4fga per game isnt going to cut it. He needs to share the post offensive responsibility with Lamarcus who was a typical chucker tonight...

Really the only thing worrisome so far is dedmon inability rebound the damn ball. Was evident in the suns game and I would assume he had the same problems today.

Really Hoping we have an improved anderson but so far based on the suns game and this game..hes ceiling is 8th best player in the team.

Distant 8th to Manu and Mills

Worrisome.

[tonight...you]

He feels that he's just beginning his Golden Age. That should make you happy...

Rebounding takes little skill and a lot of effort to do well. He's not even doing that. Terribly disappointing.

[ElNono]

Manu 4th leading scorer tonight... wow... so glad he left money on the table to come back, we'd be lost without him...

[TheGreatYacht]

Welp, I guess Anderson and Lee won't be joining in any HEB commercials any time soon.

[Kawhitstorm]

Lee will take care of the rebounding if DeadMan could at least provide any sort of rim protection.

According to bballref, he's #5 all time in playoff assists :wow :worthy:

thegreatcunt on bertans a few months ago:

All of them are scrubs

me in early july:

bertans will be in the rotation.

thegreatcunt now:

Bertans looks great.

Deserves to be in the second unit
:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Knew I was going to piss off Argietard, gambitch1990 :lmao

[gambit1990]

he's the starting pg :lol that's literally the least he can do.

why don't you explain why parker's assists go down in the playoffs?


Knew I was going to piss off Argietard, gambitch1990 :lmao
you didn't piss me off. i'm laughing at you.

you called bertans a scrub, i said he'd be in the rotation. now you're saying he looks great and deserves to be in the second unit.

[apalisoc_9]

Bertans really is the only guy that has looked decent and ready to contribute.

Seriously, the main problem now is Aldridge and his diva chucker attitude.

[TheGreatYacht]

he's the starting pg :lol that's literally the least he can do.
There must be a lot ISO ball if 2APG continuously leads the team in Assists :lol


why don't you explain why parker's assists go down in the playoffs?
Teams play better defense in the playoffs believe it or not. Shooters also don't make their shots.



you didn't piss me off.
You dug up a post from months ago :fishing

there's no point in trying to reason with you. believe what you will. i won't have to tell you you're wrong, the future will. tell us more about how bertans is a scrub.

[Ditty]

I couldn't care less about how the players play in the preseason. Even somewhat the regular season now with how disappointing the season ended last season. The real basketball players will play good when the games matter in the playoffs/finals.

I love my Spurs, but what pisses me off more about the preseason every year is the horse shit person/group that is in or associated with the Spurs organization that decides to never air preseason games since I can remember.

We are probably going to remain competitive and keep winning 50+ games a year and making the playoffs as long as Kawhi is here. No matter what some of the trolls think that we suck, and should tank after losing a game.

I wonder where this organization will be once Pop passes on, and Buford decides to retire because it seems like them two have everyone in the organization at the balls. Maybe that's why they brought Tim to continue the legacy as they might not know how to deal with losing if it ever gets to that. Maybe they will finally start showing fucking preseason games to get our fans intrigued somewhat if we are ever a bad team again :lol.

I really do hope Ime is our next head coach also, he seems to be a good teacher and a lot of players seem to like him. Messenia is okay, but he's nothing special and Borrego doesn't seem like a great leader or someone that will chew you out. Becky will get a shot at least being second in charge soon somewhere on the bench soon in the NBA.

Sorry for the small rant, I couldn't care less about basketball right now with football season going on but it's absolute bullshit that this has always seemed to go on. Great organization problems on the court right? :lol

[SAGirl]

Ime coached the first half and Borrego the 2nd from some tweet I saw. ^
I didn't see the game, so I can't really say on anything they did or didn't do with players.
Sucks to not be able to watch preseason games even in league pass, when the team has so many rookies and has added players to their roster of the caliber of Gasol.

I totally get your rant.

[gambit1990]

I love my Spurs, but what pisses me off more about the preseason every year is the horse shit person/group that is in or associated with the Spurs organization that decides to never air preseason games since I can remember.
wholeheartedly agree.

seems like they're just not trying to spend more money then they need to.

it's embarrassing they can't even manage to get a sponsor to pay for the hosting costs...

san antonio is cheap though. so maybe the market just isn't viable enough. it's sad/pathetic either way tbh.

[YGWHI]

When you think that teams like Suns were streaming his first home preseason game for their fans, but Spurs didn't want to...

[John Petrucci]

Would really like to see the Bertans highlights. Sounds like he had a great quarter.

[gambit1990]

san antonio is cheap though. so maybe the market just isn't viable enough. it's sad/pathetic either way tbh.
now that i think about it, if the viable market was small... then the cost of hosting wouldn't even be that high.

the spurs not streaming is embarrassing. especially when you consider how many international players we have.

[Ditty]

wholeheartedly agree.

Don't get me wrong it's not as bad as paying $50 on PPV to see Michael Jordan and the Bulls or Charles Barkley and the Suns play against the Spurs in the mid 90's. I even felt sorry for shitty Rockets fans that weren't able to see some of the Rockets games, because of the whole Comcast issue and not everyone could get the service depending where they lived in Houston. We are fortunate that we do get to see every regular season and home game here if you have cable. I was seriously thinking about writing the same message to the organization without all the cuss words of course :lol and the coaching stuff. I probably would get a corporate response back is probably why I'm not going to even bother, but we are the only team in the NBA that doesn't show preseason games on our broadcasts from what I've seen seriously. It's somewhat of joke that it has gone this long in all honesty. I'm pretty sure Bill, and Sean will be more than happy to get some practice in before the regular season starts without much of pay increase. At least do the home games :rolleyes.

[bklynspursfan]

Still second in command: Though the Spurs plan to find ways to get Kyle Anderson and Jonathon Simmons on the floor more this season, it might not come at the expense of Manu Ginobili. The 39-year-old controlled the second unit against the Hawks, finishing with 11 points, three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 16 minutes. The chemistry with Patty Mills was solid, as the two assisted each other on back-to-back baskets in the second quarter. While the bench will go through an early transition with a few new pieces, Ginobili will still be counted on to lead the way.
Youth movement: The fourth quarter belonged to the bench as Simmons, Davis Bertans, Nicolas Laprovittola, Bryn Forbes, and Dejounte Murray got the majority of the minutes. With 8:48 on the clock, Bertans nailed his first basket, a 25-foot 3-pointer on an assist from Laprovittola, giving the Spurs a four-point lead (84-80). Following a Dewanye Dedmon block on Matt Costello, Forbes grabbed the rebound, ran the break and nailed a jumper. Bertans then scored again on an assist from Laprovittola, giving the Spurs a 90-82 lead. Bertans finished with 10 points and three rebounds, going 2 of 3 from beyond the arc in the fourth.

Why no criticism for your boy Kyle? Dude was a non factor as usual while Manu brought it like he always does even if it's just a preseason game, turnover prone or not atleast he has heart and still quicker than Anderson at age 39.

I don't know if you saw his interview, but he talked about his performance in terms of wanting to still feel important for the team.

He also wrote in his column about it.

Could've been maybe a language barrier type thing. Tim would say he would keep playing as long as he felt he could help the team and things to that nature. I think that's probably how Manu meant it. Doesn't want to be like guys who are on the court but should probably be retired


Manu knows he's important to the team, I don't think he felt like insecure or anything about his role. ( not sure if maybe that's what you got)

Manu knows he's important to the team, I don't think he felt like insecure or anything about his role. ( not sure if maybe that's what you got)

I think Manu has his ego. It's not like he said he wants to feel important but doesn't know what that means. He knows what he means. It's disingenous to assume he didn't mean what he said. He could have said he wanted to be impactful, but he said he wanted to feel "important."

I do see his ego coming through with so many questions being asked by the press about Pop wanting to develop others. It's an uncomfortable question to begin with. But it does mean he's not going to defer to others and that is the truth.

Again didn't watch this game, but his use of the words wanting to feel important twice already is not a mistake.

SAGirl honestly I think you're reading too much into this
"Wanting to feel important" means he still wants to contribute and play his role, he doesn't want to become last year's Matt Bonner
He's not gonna take 15 shots a night and he's gonna pass the ball to Kyle and JSimms, don't worry

Look forward to that TBH. First game of Manu back and it's a long season.

:toast

Can't say what happens with J.Simms ultimately, but hoping for the best with him. If he doesn't play a more solid game, the occasional dunk notwithstanding, it's pointless to even bring up the subject of Manu deferring to him. He hasn't earned it. I thought they wanted to get J.Simms time in the rotation, but so far he seems to be the 11th man and IMO he might lose that spot to Bertans.

I can't say I like Dedmon yet and I have my concerns with Lee.

This is what worries me:

The games, as you know, aren't televised. Did hear most of the first half on the radio. Was really glad to hear about Bertans! Just what we need...

784957335169007616

I agree about Simmons btw, he just didn't improve at all since last season, he still has poor handles, a shaky jumpshot and bad decision-making, I don't think the Spurs are happy with this either

As for Dedmon I think we'll just have to wait, there's not many other options with him being our only proper backup C anyway, but there are clearly sides of his game he needs to work on and he will also take his time to adapt to our system, I believe he can be a solid role player and contribute
I can't see him and Lee working as a pair though, it won't take long till Bertans breaks into the rotation as the first PF off the bench imo

[BillMc]

Yeah I didn't see the game either so can't say much. Fortunately I'll be making a game in about a week. Look forward to seeing these guys play. The games, as you know, aren't televised. Did hear most of the first half on the radio. Was really glad to hear about Bertans! Just what we need...

Going out on a limb here, but we may have one of the top 2 Latvians in the league. And ours has an easier name to spell. :lol

[cutewizard]

Omg, I just realized that:

PAU GASOL ========= Ramon Fernandez of the Spurs!!!!!!!!!

And Ramon, along with Manu, is my favorite player of all time!!!

(So, this year it's like my two fave players of all time are with the Spurs!!!!!!)

Of course, Wilt is my other fav player.......but......

IM TOTALLY EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON.....from the get-to until the conclusion.

Gambitch1990, the Argietard double standard is real with you.

1.) Manure shot 2 more times than Parker in LESS minutes. Parker went 7/8, Manure went 4/10.

2.) Parker had 2 assists, same as Manure.

3.) He tried to take over the game without playing in the 4th quarter?

Gambitch1990, the Argietard double standard is real with you.

1.) Manure shot 2 more times than Parker in LESS minutes. Parker went 7/8, Manure went 4/10.

2.) Parker had 2 assists, same as Manure.

3.) He tried to take over the game without playing in the 4th quarter?

4.) Its the preseason retard.
parker had 2 assists and 1 turnover as the starting point guard :lol
manu had 2 assists and 0 turnovers as a shooting guard off the bench.

Parker had the better stats (per par)

Show me someone who agrees with you, and I'll show you a retard
