Actually it was a shot that only took three tenths of a second. The lapse by the timekeeper put .4 on the clock instead of .8 which it should have been.Quote:

Jack actually had more points than Gist.
Ok, for those of you who watched. What is your overall perspective of the game? Who played well and who completely pulled a playoff bonner?
Depending on when the clock starts, yes.Quote:

Both of them will be in camp. They have plenty to work on between now and then.
The clock is irrelevant. The catch to release took three tenths.Quote:

I do not think airballs are the best result. That is some b.s. mind game. You could say him hitting the game winner would have been the best shot because it will give him confidence. He is not going to shoot any more jumpers in the gym just because he missed.
Hill and Hairston looked tired down the stretch.
Overall, good summer league run. Hill played really well in the first three games. Hairston proved he could shoot at a level higher than D-league. Mahinmi had his moments and finished with his best game. Gist got better as the summer league went along. Technically, the same can be said for McClinton. Blair looked pretty damn good.
It would have been nice to finish stronger but there was definite progress made. And best of all, everyone stayed healthy.
If clocks are irrelevant, how do you know how long it took?Quote:

Me too. Mainly by watching it on DVR a couple of times and realizing I couldn't say the Spurs were robbed. :lolQuote:

I think we have some material to work with here. Unfortunately I was hoping at least one of our bigs to be more sound defensively in order to help TD more... Pop is going to have his hands full in that department. But other than that, there's some good talent here.
The clock on the floor was irrelevant to how long it took. You said the timekeeper made a mistake after I said it took three tenths. The one does not refute the other. That's all I'm saying.Quote:

Hill was at least able to get to the line hitting 8 of 10 FT for a total of 12 points. McClinton went 4 of 10 for 8 points in 23 mins.
If anyone is fretting because the team lost, if Blair had played, the Spurs win.
This was to see Mahinmi, Gist, Jack and more Hill.
Beck will not even get a sniff of getting out of training camp on the team.
I think the spurs are in trouble with hill if he doesn't get those to's down.
did you watch the regular season last year?Quote:

Yeah, and I saw him lose his role to Roger Mason. Besides, its what have you done for me lately.
Well for one its a lot different when your playing with your actual NBA team, and then he didn't lose his job because of TOs.Quote:
