Damon Stoudamire

[Spurs Brazil]

Another old PG mistake

Can't hit a shot, can't play D, ballhog, poor shot selection

I hope he's de odd man out when Bones comeback

[Mr. Body]

Just an old guy playing with other old guys.

[T Park]

Was playing better before he was turned into a gunner.

Great observation :rolleyes

[T Park]

Just an old guy playing with other old guys.


Still waiting for that list of the plethora of young guys the Spurs are not playing instead.

[loveforthegame]

Haven't you guys read any of the game day threads? It's Finley's fault. Him and him alone.

[Tek_XX]

I wish Finley and Stoudamire would just retire already. Stoudamire can't hit a shot to save his life, might as well play vaughn.

[T Park]

:lol

Very true

[SenorSpur]

Hell, I argue that Darius Washington could not have done any worse the Damon - given the same amount of minutes. If nothing else, he'd wouldn't be as big of a liability on D and would apply better on-the-ball pressure.

[Radiosparks]

He seems lost out there. I've noticed many times where he takes the dribble backside and freezes.

[Spurologist]

2-10 fg. Damn.

He's not shy but he still doesn't look comfortable out there. Plus I haven't seen him take a single WIDE OPEN shot. He needs confidence more than anything. He can't just blindly shot the ball with people on him even though he might be getting advise from pop to shoot the ball more.

[BlackSwordsMan]

BRING BACK UDRIH
seriously why did spurs drop him?
terrible move

[porscha]

sucks

[Jayem]

celts get garnett and allen. mavs get j kidd, phx get shaq and we let scola & beno go and get minnie mouse...an old washed up pot head.

way to go spurs front office! thanks for fucking up this season and our chance at a repeat. if i saw RC right now i'd slap the shit outta him.

:lmao

Beno included in that

Genius kid :tu

This is what we we get when people start mentioning Scola and Beno in the same sentance.

[timaios]

1-7 3pt !!!

WTF :pctoss

[GrandeDavid]

It is painful when Stoudamire pulls up for a shot. Damn, he makes me nervous. Everytime I see him I recall the 1999 championship video where he imitates Avery and the Spurs in the locker room, acting as if they're all tense while the Blazers are loose. For better or for worse.

Don't forget Boston getting Sam Casselll..
at least HE's a proven veteran, and winner.

SToudamire..all you can do is hope he pitches in, but I just don't see much from him.
Just another old guy, is what he's been. Was there really much to him on Memphis?

[1Parker1]

I said it in the game blog, but I'll say it again; Someone should dye Damon's hair red and maybe Pop will put him in the doghouse with Bonner. :tu

[blah28]

We probably could have gotten Sam..if Tony didn't get injuried and we needed a back up point so quickly!!!

[Ice009]

Looking back at it I probably would rather have Darius Washington right about now. He can't be worse than those two scrub back up point guards we've got out there. At least Darius can get to the rack and shoot the ball.

Stoudamire's game went into the toilet after he started chucking shots. Pretty much everyone can see that. That is all on Pop. He's wanted Damon to shoot he ball, but unfortunately he's not as good a shooter as Nick the quick so the result can only be worse.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Should have kept Anthony Carter :smokin :lol

[Russ]

This guy bears a scary resemblence to Nick Van Exel. And it's an even year too.:spless:

[Bruno]

Jacque Vaughn > Damon Stoudamire

Antonio Graves > Darius Washington

[ludda]

Mavs pickup Lue looked pretty good these last two games too. (before they just had that scrub Barea). Fuck.

The one thing I wished for when Spurs picked up Mighty Mouse was for him not to be a chucker..

[wildbill2u]

Pop has taken his obsession with old guards to new lows. Play Vaughn and hope for the best.

[pad300]

Somebody explain to me why we didn't grab boykins instead... If pop wanted a chucker, we may as well get him one.

[Extra Stout]

Stoudamire is getting his revenge for 1999 by sucking.

[ShoogarBear]

[Holt's Cat]

Stoudamire did well when he seemed focused on distributing the rock. Then Pop told him to shoot...

[ShoogarBear]

Stoudamire did well when he seemed focused on distributing the rock. Then Pop told him to shoot...So how many assists would Steve Nash average under Pop again?

[Holt's Cat]

So how many assists would Steve Nash average under Pop again?


Probably not as many as he has under D&Tony's system.

[J_Paco]

I've always thought that the team would operate best with Tony having his score-first mentality, while his primary back-up having a more defensive-minded and passing mentality. Well, why does Pop want Damon to be a scorer? When, at his advanced age, he's obviously more suited to set-up Manu, Finley, Oberto, Udoka or (hopefully) Barry with open looks.

[ShoogarBear]

Probably not as many as he has under D&Tony's system.Don't go too far out on that limb now.

[Holt's Cat]

The hope will be that once the Spurs get back Barry into the fold that he can be counted on to take more of those perimeter shots with the 2nd unit and Pop will give Stoudamire the yellow light on his shot.

[vander]

damon's not the problem, we were +9 when Bonner was in there and -16 when Fabs was in there. on the year, Fabs has the worst +/- of all the main Spurs except for Elson.

We gots ta bench that loser :bang

[T Park]

Oberto was bad tonight agreed.

bonner in his place?


Eh, I said it in the game chat, why the hell not, what would it have hurt?

[Dirk Nowitzki]

You guys should have gone after Ty Lue. :smokin :smokin :drunk :drunk :drunk

[Brutalis]

Things never got that bad.

That would leave the team with only two players that can man the pivot, Timmy and Thomas. I've never loved Oberto's great "positional defense" and would prefer a shot-blocker over him (only Timmy does that). But, he does proved a wide-body that has 6 fouls to despense, plus he's got great chemistry on the floor with Manu & Timmy.

[DarrinS]

He Flat Out SUCKS

[Spurs Brazil]

Another pathetic game today

His defense was a joke. He played 8 minutes and was -10

[MannyIsGod]

Its pretty much time to end the Damn experiment. I jsut don't see it working.

[Creation88]

stoudamire fucking blows.

[Spurs Brazil]

When you can't play against the T-Wolves with a 20pt lead you know it's time to retire

Stoudamire sucks big time

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, nice bump.

[SpurAddict561]

I so wish we woulda got Cassel

[ShoogarBear]

We jiust need to add a "1" and a headband and the transformation will be complete:

[loveforthegame]

He was playing fine until Pop told him to shoot more. Now he looks done.

there's a difference between asking a guy to be more aggressive with his shot, and signing a guy who dribbles for 20 seconds, then shoots.

vaughn > both of them.

[Galileo]

If Damon could score 54 in 2005, he should still be able to score 44 in 2008.

[mavs>spurs2]

If Damon could score 54 in 2005, he should still be able to score 44 in 2008.

What's your point? Didn't Anthony Johnson also score something like 50 points in a playoff game? And he worked out great for the Mavs..:rolleyes

[mavs>spurs2]

NVE was also awesome for the Mavs in 03, then played horrible for the Spurs in 06.

[SenorSpur]

NVE was also awesome for the Mavs in 03, then played horrible for the Spurs in 06.

and that time gap is EXACTLY why Pop should've never pursued him. All he had to do was look at current production. Obviously Pop was thinking he was getting the '03 NVE.

[genomefreak13]

Come on guys...Loosen up. We're winning right? save it when we start losing again :toast

[Princess Pimp]

It doesn't matter the Spurs are going nowhere!

[genomefreak13]

I think they're exactly where they want to be. They're be there when it matters

true!

[Slippy]

In the space of 2 months Stoudamire has gone from starter to playing scrub mins when the game is over. For a new guy on a championship team that's one big transition. When Parker wasn't around and JV was strugling, he was handy.(no complaints from fans either) Now that Pop has finally settled on Stoudamire's role as 3rd string PG, his confidence would be low.. so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he sucking it up. NVE and Ward were given a lot longer to prove them selfs. A few fans should try lowering their expectations and move on.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Yesterday, he could barely even score on Minnesota. That's suckin'.
