[LaMarcus Bryant]

Thought only newish players could go there

[RD2191]

:lol he needs to be our backup though. Mills is garbage.

[Robz4000]

Guess he will be back by mid-November after all. Meanwhile for all we know Kawhi's gonna have to get his leg amputated.

[Seventyniner]

I think only newish players can be assigned there against their will. This is a good chance to get Tony back up to speed playing competitive ball.

[TheDoctor]

:lmao

Please HoTS come back ��

[spursistan]

Remember the summer drooling over early season Point Kawhi ..Yeah, Parker gonna end up coming back on court before him :lmao..

[spursistan]

Real talk: Parker is a renowned fast healer especially from serious-looking injuries.. It is maybe the most underrated thing about him ..He's always beaten injury layoff timetables by weeks-- and in this case it could be months, which would be remarkable at his age..

[SAGirl]

It would be nice for Austin residents to see Tony on a very cheap ticket price. I would go if I lived close, but no, I don't.

Thanks for posting.

He's Getting Healthy.

May be just a technicality. Would be the perfect time for the Toros to train in San Antonio.

[Spur|n|Austin]

First game is next Friday, I wonder to what extent the rehab will entail? If it was just practice I would assume he could do that in SA.

Good point. I wonder when his first G-league game is.

[hater]

Just save him for the playoffs

Nobody else in
This team can lead the team to a playoff win

I live about 15 minutes from HEB Center and I'm definitely gonna try to pick up tix.

[Play Boban]

This is where Tony's career is at. He's stuck in the G-League, which is where he belongs given his talent level. Hopefully, he can get his stats there, which will make him happy even if it means nothing. Maybe Austin can win the G-League this year with Tony manning the point.

Would be crazy if he actually played a game with them.

[raybies]

I really doubt he'll play a game. Probably just going to play in some 5 on 5 scrimmages. He was due to start those this week. He's already been doing 2 on 2 and 3 on 3 full contact so

oooooo good point.
I posted in the Austin Toros thread that it would be nice to pick up tickets to see him.
But now that you mention it, I remember last season Danny was sent to Austin to basically scrimmage with the guys there. He never played a game.
Ooops.

[vander]

It's called the G-League now?

[NASpurs]

We need Amused to create Austin Spurs game threads while Parker is there.

:lmao I'd be surprised if Tony is there more than a week or two.

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao And to think Porker stans had the nerve to refer to Danny Green as a D-Leaguer.

You're really underrating the talent level of the D-League, tbh.

[dabom]

:lol

[Poolboy5623]

Both Tony and Kawhi injuries have me concerned. When TP comes back I’m worried he’ll get most of Murray’s minutes. Likewise when KL comes back pop will take minutes away from Gay, instead of Anderson? Are these legit concerns?

Problem is he returns looking like shit after injuries, and it takes him forever to get back on level.

I think I saw it's just the training camp he's participating in

[NASpurs]

Real talk: with Parker coming back and with the way Dejounte's been playing, hopefully this lights a fire under Patty's ass because something has gotta give when you have 3 point guards. I'm sure we all don't foresee any DNPs for Dejounte this season unlike last year.

Speak for yourself. I don't doubt for a second Pop will bench Murray for those two.

Was actually thinking of a way they can fit him in.

Murray/Green/Leonard/Anderson/LMA
Tony/Patty/Ginobili/Gay/Gasol

Joff loses his spot but he's a first year player. Anderson has shown worthy of minutes and your still bringing Gay along slowly. Not to mention you only have 3 legit bigs so you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket so to speak. Would prefer Joffrey to take Pau's spot in the rotation but who we kidding. It's either Joffrey or Kyle who gets the ax tho, so would y'all rather see? Kyle or Joffrey?

[NASpurs]

I'm readying the pitchforks as we speak. Such a shitty injustice just because of seniority. It's not the fucking military.

[raybies]

If Murray continues to play like this, no way he gets moved to the bench. Book it.

Anyone else throw up a little in their mouth after seeing that bench unit? No offense but it's horrible especially on the defensive side of the court. Let's hope they all don't play together one minute this season.

he's 35 going on 36.

Feel like our 2nd unit has typically been poor defensively (compared to the starters at least) over the last few years. They were usually the group that came in and turned up the tempo offensively. Which was a nice change of pace to the slower pace the starters played

[james evans]

hahaha. ok. Do you know what coach we're dealing with here? Murray could be averaging 35 a game, he's going to that bench when parker gets back. Remember Van Gundy in the 2009 finals? If he brings Nelson off the bench, the Magic win that year.

[hater]

As opposed to Manure who usually doesnt come back till after the season

[hooperflash]

Kendrick Perkins was assigned to the G-League recently as well.

Unfortunately you're probably incorrect, and that's a shame..

I think after Pop let Murray close the game it's a clear indication. No one thought Patty would be riding pine so soon yet that just happened 3 games into the season. I think Pop is wise enough to realize what he has with Murray, potential future of the guard of the franchise, and he's gonna nurture and cater to that. Sure he'll look for a reason to pull him to get Parker or Mills in but like I said, him playing like this, he's not losing his spot.

Yeah I don't like it either but against other bench units it should be fine.

[SpursforSix]

what if TP gets dominated in G league?

[RD2191]

Then he'll go the H League?

:pop: not on my watch

[NASpurs]

Yeah it makes sense the more I think about it and it's a good compromise concerning Murray. The bench will break even most nights against other bench units. I also have no problems with Fathead starting in your scenario. Plus it'll keep two of the team's worst defenders (Parker and Gasol) on the bench. Sounds good.

Another good thing about Anderson starting with Murray, is he can share PG duties like he has been. But that lineup to start is full of playmakers on the defensive end. Should be stout. And with Leonard back, offense should theoretically not be a problem.

as for the bench, they can play BG ball. At least Pau won't be in to stink up the first unit and we can get off to big leads.

KYLE CAN'T PLAY POINT GUARD! DUDE WAS OUR WORST PASSER LAST YEAR.. EVEN SIMMONS WAS A BETTER PASSER!!! STOP THE MYTH!

[Chinook]

Kyle's been playing a ton of PG this year. Probably about a third of the possessions he's out there.

As others have said, Spurs did the same thing when Green when he was recovering from an injury. Spurs are on a road trip and he was supposed to be ready for 5 on 5 scrimmages this week.

[raybies]

Just to clarify when I say he can share PG duties, he can bring the ball up when Murray is pressured or when Murray makes a mistake. I know it's easy to correlate assists to being a point guard, but just playing ball speaking he can allow The others to get into sets without disrupting too much. That is a luxury. Takes pressure off Murray.

"Great Passer"

3 assist. :lmao

[dabom]

Fathead is one of the worst offensive players on the team. :lol

[dabom]

Fathead sinks the offense like an anchor. :lol

[dabom]

The last person I want touching the ball, is fathead. :lol

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I'm excited to see Parker back in the fold. I hope Pop continues to give Murray minutes, but Parker is a much better facilitator than a lot of people give him credit for. His court leadership will be important against the better teams in the league.

You're probably right tbh. Post injury Porker will be lucky to shoot 40% from the field there tbh...

Yeah, 0 point, 0/6 nights are just what Pop wants out of his starting point guard. :wakeup
