Summer League Game 4: Spurs vs. Warriors

[timvp]

After the first win of summer league, the Spurs take on the undefeated Warriors. Marco Belinelli has been on fire, averaging 30 points per game in his first two contests. James White and Marcus Williams will try to slow them down.

Pierre Pierce and Kelenna Azubuike are also averaging more than 20 points for the Warriors. As a team, the Warriors are averaging 102 points per game. The Spurs are averaging 58.

This game will either get ugly or it'll showcase the defensive talents of some of the Spurs' perimeter players. I guess we'll find out.

Game starts at 7:30 PM CST.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If Marcus Williams doesn't work out, I'd like the Spurs try and go after Azubuike.

[Darkwaters]

Azubuikie looks like he could be the real deal. But you have to wonder how much of those wonderful stats are because of the system the warriors run (even the SL team).

Regardless, Azubuikie might be hard to pry away from the Warriors since they traded away Richardson. Belinelli and Azubuikie might be expected to pick up the slack...and if the Italian kid spends another year in Europe then...the guy with the really strange name might be in line for a decent upgrade. What can the Spurs give him thats similar?

[yavozerb]

How Many Pts Well Bellineli Put Up Tonight Against The Spurs??
- My Guess Is 18

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

27

[The_Game]

Azubuike has always been very talented. Showed it at Kentucky.

[AFBlue]

I wonder if the Spurs' young guys will get caught up in the free-flowing style that the Warriors will try to assert. I know the veterans on the big club are used to slowing that pace down and dictating tempo, but I wonder if Newman will be able to enforce that to his group of young guys.

Two things to look forward to, IMO:

1) How do White and Williams handle their perimeter-oriented attack? Will they be able to stop penetration and contest jumpers?

2) How will Jackie Butler do against their inside guys? Will he be on the court long enough to make an impact...meaning will the Warriors run him ragged or draw alot of fouls on penetration?

Hopefully those two things are answered positively....but regardless, it should be fun to watch.

[AFBlue]

BTW, does it concern anyone that the "watch" feature hasn't been available and the scoreboard has been down for both the 6 (EST) and 8 (EST) o'clock games?

Anyone have the "watch" feature available for the Spurs?

[Darkwaters]

This is starting to piss me off. There is no "view" option.

[Kori Ellis]

This is starting to piss me off. There is no "view" option.

Probably because the game hasn't started yet. The "Watch" option should come on soon.

[Kori Ellis]

BTW, does it concern anyone that the "watch" feature hasn't been available and the scoreboard has been down for both the 6 (EST) and 8 (EST) o'clock games?


Maybe because those games were on TV.

[Darkwaters]

Probably because the game hasn't started yet. The "Watch" option should come on soon.

My NBA website is stuck with like a minute left in the 4th of the Kings-Wizards game. It has been that way for a long time. (must be a really long time out?)

Plus, the game that started at 6PM has no indication that it ever happened.

[AFBlue]

I got nothing....

[timvp]

Much better quality at the Thomas and Mack Center. No crowd noise makes it weird.

Not sure NBA.com wants us watching it but I found it was a backdoor link.

THANKS MAN!

[ace3g]

sanikidze is playing early, awesome

[timvp]

Sanikidze in the game already :)

[AFBlue]

More ugly damn play....

[Spurs Brazil]

Thanks for the link

[timvp]

More ugly damn play....

Watson actually passed it on a break. It was a bad pass and about five seconds too late but it's a step in the right direction.

[bigdog]

thanks for the link. weird how you can barely hear anyhting, except the pa announcer is really loud. oh well. sanikidze is in pretty damn early. lets see how things turn out

[AFBlue]

White forcing the jumper early...not looking so good.

[Kori Ellis]

:lol @ the "crowd" There's about 20 people there.

[ace3g]

nice rebound by sanikidze and White is sporting the headband

[timvp]

Butler with six points and two rebounds already.

[AFBlue]

Then White makes me look stupid by going to the rim and drawing contact...

It's okay, I'll gladly look stupid if that's the case.

[Mr. Body]

Toby Bailey ?!?!?!

[bigdog]

nice hustle by sanikidze

[Mr. Body]

Can I get Sanikidze a haircut?

[timvp]

Sanikidze is damn mobile for his size.

[AFBlue]

Williams seeing his first action...replacing Sanikidze

[ace3g]

so did Sanikidze start tonight, I missed the first couple of minutes before timvp posted the link

[bigdog]

the pa announcer's mic must be directly connected with the camera or something, because if you turn it up, you can hear the action on the floor. hes really loud though. anyways, gadson looking pretty good early

[AFBlue]

Haraysz with the beautiful pass...to NO ONE! :lol

[ace3g]

butler with a nice hook shot in the lane surrounded by 3 players

[AFBlue]

JB with the nice jump hook

[ace3g]

butler to gadson for a nice layup

[timvp]

Butler is playing impressively right now.

[bigdog]

good look by JB

[AFBlue]

Belinelli w/ the nice jumper...but I gotta say he looks totally disinterested on defense.

Should fit right in with the Warriors...

[SKINNYPIMP210]

Awwww That Was A Good Block By Williams! No Contact!

[ace3g]

butler with another missed dunk

[SKINNYPIMP210]

Another Missed Dunk!

[Mr. Body]

New rule: Butler doesn't get to dunk.

[AFBlue]

Dammit Butler! Blown Dunk #10 at least on the series....

[timvp]

0-7 on dunks for Butler.

[SKINNYPIMP210]

Is It Just Me Or Does That Female Ref Look Really Freaking Good!

[AFBlue]

Seriously, Butler should take a page out of Oberto's book....layups also count for two.

[mystargtr34]

Lol i swear Pop is on some luxurious resort in the South of France, ripping into the guys through video conference in time outs and preaching defense.

[Mr. Body]

Woman ref kinda cute.

[AFBlue]

Holding GS to 13 in the first...not bad

[AFBlue]

21-13 at end of 1

[ace3g]

Is It Just Me Or Does That Female Ref Look Really Freaking Good!


I was going to say the same thing

[SKINNYPIMP210]

Return Of The Mac!!! Lmfao!!!

[bigdog]

i wanna see williams feautred a little bit. or at least try to get him involved.

[AFBlue]

Maybe the AT&T Center should take a page from the Vegas boys on interim music

[timvp]

Butler scored the first three baskets of the game. He made Patrick O'Bryant look girlish.

If the Spurs trade him away for a second round pick that'd be a travesty.

[AFBlue]

White on Belli to start the second

[ace3g]

nice drive by marcus williams for the dunk

[SKINNYPIMP210]

That Dude Left His Shoes By The 3 Point Line!

[bigdog]

pretty sweet drive right there by Williams

[timvp]

If Williams isn't guarded, he can score.

Good sign, I guess.

[AFBlue]

Williams with the blow-by move and finish....is that the athleticism you were looking for timvp?

[ace3g]

williams with another nice drive for a layup

[AFBlue]

Another good driving bucket from Williams...

[timvp]

Williams finally showing some O.

[bigdog]

i asked for some williams stuff, and hes giving it to us. haha

[bigdog]

i still think its kinda of weird that we have Harvey on our summer roster

[mystargtr34]

Its ALL about confidence. Williams should be ok now.

[AFBlue]

Butler does need to learn not to bite on the pump fakes...

[ace3g]

it looks like the offense is running much smoother with Gadson running the point

[AFBlue]

Butler finally makes a dunk and it doesn't count!

[mystargtr34]

How is White playing? Defense and O??? I only have it on box score at work lol boss is in the area.

[timvp]

PASS THE F'ING BALL WATSON.

Dam.

[Mr. Body]

A simple jump stop, Watson, would do wonders there.

[ace3g]

butler actually dunked!!!!!


but it didnt count

[bigdog]

im liking the play of gadson much better than watson

[AFBlue]

weakass dunk by white!

[bigdog]

ehhh......he shoulda done something cool. haha

[SKINNYPIMP210]

My Boy White With The Dunk!

[AFBlue]

How is White playing? Defense and O??? I only have it on box score at work lol boss is in the area.

Nothing to write home about. Granted he's on scoring freak Belli, but he's not doing anything special against him.

[timvp]

Williams moving with purpose offensively. Belinelli has some baller moves but they're staying with him so far.

[T Park]

I've watched about 2 minutes of summer league, and I already can't stand CJ Watson.

Butler should've had an easy layup, not him for 2 points...

Playing Elliott Yamin? Sweetness.

[mystargtr34]

James is just teasing. he is saving himself when he has a fast break on TNT

[bigdog]

haha....sounded like he said Matt HAIRY ASS. haha

[Mr. Body]

Do they have to replay every single shot?

[T Park]

any ideas why Newman ain't playing Sanikidze?

[Darkwaters]

this announcer guy sucks. I like the improved video...but the lack of audio sucks.

[Kori Ellis]

any ideas why Newman ain't playing Sanikidze?

He was already playing earlier.

[mystargtr34]

How come my box score wont update, is it still 25-16?

[Darkwaters]

any ideas why Newman ain't playing Sanikidze?

He was earlier. Not sure how much burn he got...but he was in the game early.

..and hes in again.

[Mr. Body]

More closeups of that ref would be okay. She's at least 1.5x as good looking as Dick Baveta.

[AFBlue]

How the hell was that not a foul instead of backcourt. Granted White is skinny, but could the wind have really blown him over?

[Darkwaters]

Did Sanikidze shave?

[SKINNYPIMP210]

haha....sounded like he said Matt HAIRY ASS. haha

DUDE I WAS CRACKING UP AT THAT! :lol

[Kori Ellis]

this announcer guy sucks. I like the improved video...but the lack of audio sucks.

Well this isn't exactly something that we are supposed to be watching, so you should just stop bitching and be thankful you can even see it. :lol

[Darkwaters]

How the hell was that not a foul instead of backcourt. Granted White is skinny, but could the wind have really blown him over?

Agreed, horrible non-call.

[timvp]

Sanikidze with some nice quickness.

[T Park]

Man Sanikidze has gotten bigger since I last saw him at the Spurs games.

Now he looks like Kevin Federline WITH hair.


Nice putback by Butler. Butler still looks nasty and solid from the end of the regular season. No reason to give up on him.

[AFBlue]

Butler with the good seal and O-bound...too bad the putback didn't go.

[AFBlue]

Good assist (?) by Gadsen to Butler...

[Darkwaters]

Well this isn't exactly something that we are supposed to be watching, so you should just stop bitching and be thankful you can even see it. :lol

I'm really not complaining that much about it. I really didn't expect the league to put up big bucks fo the SL. But a couple of extra games on NBA TV would have been nice.

[AFBlue]

Eliot Yamin to JT....getting better! :lol

[T Park]

damn the chick ref is kinda hot.

Sanikidze looks good. Damn wish there was a friggen roster spot for him....

[Darkwaters]

Good assist (?) by Gadsen to Butler...

No, that was an airball.

[timvp]

If Sanikize really 6-foot-9 like I've seen listed some places, he could turn into a nice player one day. He moves fluidly for a player that big.

[T Park]

Eliot Yamin to JT....getting better!

come on, don't hate on Elliott. Damn talented singer he is.

[AFBlue]

No, that was an airball.

Yeah, I know. I was playing...but Butler made him look good.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm really not complaining that much about it. I really didn't expect the league to put up big bucks fo the SL. But a couple of extra games on NBA TV would have been nice.

I get that. I just don't think you understand that we are watching some weird backdoor feed. This isn't something they expect everyone to be watching.

[Darkwaters]

Viktor!

[ace3g]

sanikidze for 3

[AFBlue]

Ugly form, but good shot by Sani...for 3

[T Park]

If Sanikize really 6-foot-9 like I've seen listed some places, he could turn into a nice player one day. He moves fluidly for a player that big.

Sanikidze looks like he lines up height wise, right with Butler, and Butler is supposed to be 6'10.

[bigdog]

Viktor's shot looks kinda weird

[T Park]

damn that jumper was sweet and pure.

Hot damn, trade Barry and beno and get this guy an MFing roster spot.

[Darkwaters]

Whatever...Sanikidze didn't foul him.

[timvp]

Sanikize is on his way to becoming a SpursTalk legend.

[Mr. Body]

Yeah, Sanikidze is exactly the right size for the 'long 3'.

[Kori Ellis]

Viktor's shot looks kinda weird

Yeah he has a bad release/form.

[bigdog]

but hey if they go in, i wont complain

[Mr. Body]

Yeah he has a bad release/form.

Too far forward and too slow.

[T Park]

Sani got fucked on that call.

BTW, TIMVP, Viktor is wearing number 6. Thoughts? :stirpot:

[AFBlue]

Butler had a good backdoor pass from the post, but the second pass from the receiving player (Gadsen?) was crap.

[Darkwaters]

Sanikidze looks like he lines up height wise, right with Butler, and Butler is supposed to be 6'10.

Doesn't his bio sheet show that hes 6'9? Plus those arms have got to be like 7'4. Hes so looooooooong.

[ace3g]

Yeah, Sanikidze is exactly the right size for the 'long 3'.


thats one of the reasons why they traded for his rights

[T Park]

Too far forward and too slow

works for Shawn Marion.

[timvp]

I'm sold on Sanikidze. Get him on the Toros. Play him there a couple years and he might be a nice piece.

[Darkwaters]

Sanikize is on his way to becoming a SpursTalk legend.

Play Viktor "SuperSizeMe" Sanikidze!

[ace3g]

melzer for 3!!!

[Darkwaters]

Play Viktor "SuperSizeMe" Sanikidze!

And by "Super Size Me" I mean only in the added muscle and length department.

[T Park]

Yeah he has a bad release/form.

bring him in and let CE work on it :smokin

[Mr. Body]

works for Shawn Marion.

He shoots a bit quicker, though.

[bigdog]

melzer has some good game. i liked the way he played last summer, looking good in this game

[ace3g]

powell is owning butler

[mystargtr34]

Score. Stats for Williams Butler Sanik and White would be nice lol? My box aint workin:(

[T Park]

Sanikize is on his way to becoming a SpursTalk legend\

eh, at least hes young and has talent.

[AFBlue]

43 - 33 Spurs at half

[AFBlue]

Damn Karate Kids for halftime entertainment.....

Where are the cheerleaders!?

[T Park]

He shoots a bit quicker, though

Lets cut him now then.

[T Park]

Butler to me looks like hes trying too hard and trying to do too much.

Just needs to chill.

Sanikidze looks pretty damn good.

White looks better.

Williams so so.

[mystargtr34]

cool its working now. Whats up with Butler's shot

[Mr. Body]

Damn Karate Kids for halftime entertainment.....

Where are the cheerleaders!?

Just have that woman ref walk around for fifteen minutes. Far better than most halftime shows.

[ace3g]

Mortall Kombbatttt!!!!!

[mystargtr34]

White's shot rather not Butler? Is Butler back rimming his dunks? Or is the ball just coming out of his hands. I cant imagine him havin small hands since he is so good at catching the ball and finishing around the hoop. Maybe he just cant jump?

[Mr. Body]

[Kori Ellis]

Butler to me looks like hes trying too hard and trying to do too much.

Sanikidze looks pretty damn good.

White looks better.

Williams so so.

Butler has 10 points on 5-for-9 and 4 rebounds. Offensively he looks pretty good again.

White is still playing bad to me. Williams looks much better today.

[timvp]

Halftime thoughts:

-Butler has his moments where he plays like a man amongst boys. He has a nice touch around the basket and is strong enough to shed defenders. His passing ability continues to impress.

-White's offense isn't looking too hot. Having trouble finishing at the rim. His defense was pretty nice, however.

-Williams had his best half of summer league. He finished two drives at the basket. His defense was also better than we've seen.

-Sanikidze looks like a very good prospect. If he's really 6-foot-9, the Spurs need to bring him in right now. He's a very fluid athlete. He moves like someone 6-foot-4. Perhaps the Spurs can call off the search party for a Long Three.

-More Gadson. Less Watson.

[PerforatedNeckline]

the youtube clip of him on the knicks dunking off the nate robinsion dish displays a fairly impressive jump for someone that size. might have been perfect atmospheric conditions that day, though.

[AFBlue]

My impressions...

Butler looked good in the rebounding and scoring department. He was also good passing out of the post. Defensively, he needs to keep his feet on the ground and it looked like he struggled against a quicker Powell....but he didn't look bad.

White looked like he was trying to force the issue too much and be the creator on offense....but it really hasn't worked for him this game. He's been forgettable on D as well...not bad, just not standout.

Williams has looked like the "Most Improved Player" from the beginning of this series to tonight. Granted he set the bar low initially....but he continued to show good defensive fundamentals and disrupt the opposing player. Thus far though, it's been his offense that has impressed. A couple good blow-by moves and drives to the lane with finishes.

No comment on Sani....he's looked good.

[Mr. Body]

-Sanikidze looks like a very good prospect. If he's really 6-foot-9, the Spurs need to bring him in right now. He's a very fluid athlete. He moves like someone 6-foot-4. Perhaps the Spurs can call off the search party for a Long Three.


He does look ready to start working into the system.

[AFBlue]

Starting back up....

[Mr. Body]

Butler cannot contest a shot to save his life.

[mystargtr34]

But i mean, hes 6'10, he has fairly long arms so his reach would be about 9'2". He only needs a 20 inch vert to get his rist above the front of the rim, he hands should allow him to put it straight down. Weird

[Mr. Body]

Bad post entry pass by Williams. That's stuff he'll learn.

[AFBlue]

Butler cannot contest a shot to save his life.

O'Bryant is listed at 7'1 and was taking a jumper away from the basket...not his strength.

[Kori Ellis]

I asked someone who has been watching Butler miss dunks, he said that he's just trying to throw it down too hard - as if he's afraid he's going to miss it so he's overdoing it. Now that he's missed so many, it's probably psychological. Like the game this year that Duncan missed four dunks in one game.

[Mr. Body]

Must be tough to be Rich Melzer. He's better at this point than Marcus Williams, but there's no shot he'll get a roster spot.

[ace3g]

nice reverse layup by melzer

[Mr. Body]

Is Pierre Pierce's middle name Piers?

[AFBlue]

Belli not a factor in the game to this point....good defense by White?

[AFBlue]

Yeah, Marcus is going to have to fix that hitch in his shot...

[timvp]

Williams' jumper is fugly.

[Mr. Body]

Belli not a factor in the game to this point....good defense by White?

There ya go.

[ace3g]

spoke too soon

[AFBlue]

Butler with the Duncan like throw-up off the back of the glass getting pushed off the block.

Too bad it didn't count as continuation.

[bigdog]

i hate Viktor's shot.

[timvp]

Watson had Sanikidze wide open running the wing. Of course he makes the wrong pass.

[PerforatedNeckline]

damn, viktor can get up the floor

[ace3g]

sanikidze got down the court quickly

[AFBlue]

White goes 2 of 2 from the line...

[ace3g]

i hate Viktor's shot.

nothing that can't be fixed, look at tony parker and how much he has improved

[Mr. Body]

Watson had Sanikidze wide open running the wing. Of course he makes the wrong pass.

He's practically guaranteed to be looking the wrong way every time.

[AFBlue]

Good look by White in transition to Sani...

[bigdog]

nice dish from Flight to Viktor

[Mr. Body]

Nice.

[ace3g]

white makes the right pass and sanikidze with a nice layup

[AFBlue]

Another good look by White...

HAIRY ASS! Love it

[bigdog]

hairy ass with the nice jumper

[timvp]

Get Sanikidze on this team.

Seriously.

[Mr. Body]

Hmm... Might we see Sanikidze THIS year?

[bigdog]

watson can score.....right now thats about it

[ace3g]

that was ginobiliesque right there by sanikidze, around the back over a player and then nice pass to watson

[AFBlue]

Good D by White on Belli...

[TheWriter]

Viktor with a nice steal, behind the back move pass off to CJ for the lay up.

[T Park]

fuckin sanikidze what amove.

Sanikidze> Williams

[timvp]

Sanikidze > White

[mystargtr34]

Wow Sanik must be ripping it up lol

[objective]

I'd like to see Sanikidze get the ball in the halfcourt to see what he can create.

[usckk]

Sanikidze > White
Are you serious!?!

[T Park]

Get Sanikidze on this team.

Seriously

could the spurs do a roster dump, to make room for him if he keeps playing like this?!?!

[Mr. Body]

Dude... just cut Beno and bring in VS.

[AFBlue]

This announcer is killing me... :lol

[AFBlue]

The block by Jackie was clean...probably alot of body contact though...

[timvp]

Sanikidze is on a guy half a foot shorter than him and the guy can't even begin to drive around him.

[Kori Ellis]

This announcer is killing me... :lol

:lol He's trying hard not to exactly just say HAIRY ASS.

[timvp]

Okay ... you don't want Sanikidze on Belinelli :)

But he made him drive, at least.

[TheWriter]

The one thing I hate about summer league is the WNBA like defense in the paint that always results in a foul.

[bigdog]

:lol :lol :lol notice how he emphasizes the end of his name......he doesnt say ASS. but its funny as hell

[AFBlue]

:lol He's trying hard not to exactly just say HAIRY ASS.

I think he's actually trying to "cool it up" by making it double z's....

I would love to hear "Hairy to the AZZZ!"

[bigdog]

Belli with the pull up 3....looked pretty nice

[AFBlue]

Uhhh...it's official, Belli can shoot.

[zekes]

Sanikidze keeps looking for the alley oop on the break and of course they miss him every time.

[TheWriter]

My god, that rebound by Viktor made me an instant fan for life. Wow!

[mardigan]

I wish I could watch the game, the link keeps taking me to the Lakers game. At least Cody Karl is ballin. Hows Butler doing

[TheWriter]

My god the points are omni-horrible.

[Mr. Body]

Sweet. Tribe Called Quest.

[AFBlue]

I wish I could watch the game, the link keeps taking me to the Lakers game. At least Cody Karl is ballin. Hows Butler doing

Butler having another solid game all-around.

He's still not there defensively, but active on the boards and in the post.

You can tell he's getting tired though.

[TheWriter]

I wish I could watch the game, the link keeps taking me to the Lakers game. At least Cody Karl is ballin. Hows Butler doing

Use the link in the first pae of this thread.

The same thing was happening to me with Mozilla and Firefox. I used the link in both and it didn't work so I had to use it in IE and it worked.

[bdictjames]

Link for the game?

Whenever I click the link at NBA.com, the game bet. Lakers and 76ers are on. This is not what I wanted to see, but it told me that George Karl's son is being signed by the Lakers. :)

[The Great Fantastic]

Sanikidze is playing fierce!

[Kori Ellis]

I wish I could watch the game, the link keeps taking me to the Lakers game. At least Cody Karl is ballin. Hows Butler doing

[SKINNYPIMP210]

J White W/ The And One!

[timvp]

Sanikidze just turned 21. He might be the best prospect on this team.

[Kori Ellis]

Link for the game?

Whenever I click the link at NBA.com, the game bet. Lakers and 76ers are on. This is not what I wanted to see, but it told me that George Karl's son is being signed by the Lakers. :)

Look on Page 1 of this thread - timvp provide a backdoor link.

[bigdog]

wow they had White on the low block

[TheWriter]

Kori, what is Viktor's wingspan? The dude has long ass arms.

[AFBlue]

Jackie totally disinterested with coming back down court....dude is still not cut out for more than 20MPG.

[AFBlue]

Melzer from Harry AZZ...

[Kori Ellis]

Jackie totally disinterested with coming back down court....dude is still not cut out for more than 20MPG.

He's played almost the whole game - anyone would be tired.

[mardigan]

Are you using the link timvp put in this thread?
No, got it, thanks

[TheWriter]

I gotta get me some of those AyDeeDuhs.

[timvp]

More Sanikidze in the fourth, please :hungry:

[AFBlue]

He's played almost the whole game - anyone would be tired.

I know...and he wouldn't need to play 30+ minutes for the Spurs either so it's not a big deal.

It's just clear that he's still getting used to playing extended minutes...he hadn't done that in a while.

[Kori Ellis]

Kori, what is Viktor's wingspan? The dude has long ass arms.

I think I read once that it was 7'1. But I haven't been able to find that today.

[TheWriter]

More Sanikidze in the fourth, please :hungry:

When we drafted him they said he was a AK type, but his handling and passing is nothing like AK, it's tons better.

[AFBlue]

Butler with the o-board and putback...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I wish we could send Marcus to Europe for a year and bring over Sanikidze now.

[timvp]

Butler showing some promise at the high post.

[AFBlue]

Butler continues to impress with his passing and court vision....

[timvp]

Watson comes in and turns it over :madrun

[mystargtr34]

This type of game has been good for the team i think. Let them run a bit and get some shots up and get the confidence going. As long as they know thats not what it will be like come season time.

[objective]

why on earth is Sanikidze still sitting?

[AFBlue]

Watson comes in and turns it over :madrun

I was pleading for Marcus not to give the ball up to him!

[AFBlue]

That should get traded for cap relief and a second rounder...unbelievable.

Bangura is not Hispanic. Thanks.

hopefully next game a majority of the minutes go to Butler, White, Melzer, Gadson, and Sanikidze

FCM....nice

Butler with his post moves and court vision from the low post is a fantastic combo. Hopefully the Spurs are the team that sees him reach his potential.
