nando is GARBAGE and is not a spur.. atleast not yet.. dude aint even wet behind the ears yet when it comes to NBA basketball. needs ALOT of work. ship his ass out or trade him we dont need this shit.
Seriously, if you think you are going to start blabbing at a time like this, fuck you then, you little bitch. We don't need you, we definitely don't need your drama. We have a title to win. Get the fuck out. The Spurs didn't take Stephen Jackson's shit, they aren't going to take shit from a first year scrub who can't shoot or play Defense.
Joseph has paid his dues. I give Joseph a lot of credit asking Pop to send him down to the D-League to get some playing time. He obviously improved while he was in the D-League and never stopped working. That is a huge reason Joseph leap frogged Nando when TP went down with the ankle injury.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip the waitstaff...
in 2010-2011 Danny Green got scrub minutes in his limited time here, and even at the start of last season wasn't getting much. He was a good soldier through most of the process, and when opportunity presented itself, he won more minutes, and eventually, a starting job. Look at Tiago's situation, too. If you keep your mouth shut and play well in your opportunities, you will be rewarded
At the end of the day Joseph has something nando does not, it's called humility. That is why I think even mills will get some time before Nando

I hope RC and Pop stick with Parker, Cory and Patty or De Colo the following season. More then 3 PG's doesn't make sense.
The Spurs need some help at SF.

go home Nando, you're drunk
Refusing to go to the D-League might be permissible under his contract. I've been wondering why he wasn't assigned there to get some playing time. On the other hand, it's been reported that Cojo ASKED to be sent down so he could get some minutes to hone his skills.
Looks to me that Cojo wins this issue in two ways. First, he showed a better attitude in wanting to improve. Second, he did improve and obviously passed De Colo who was sulking on the bench.
Say what you will about Pop, but he plays the best player available who has moved into the spot in the rotation in his judgement. And Pop doesn't permanently 'brand' a player as the #2 or #3 guy at a position. Hard work and improvement is what counts and there is the opportunity to move up that many coaches don't really provide.
That's a hell of a motivation break for guys on the bench IMO. They have no reason to sit around and bitch about "coach's pets'. Playing time is all on them. And Pop demonstrated that his policy applies to vets like Jax as well as rookies.
Making much about nothing..
Nando lost his spot because he's been a defensive liability on the court and if he's not knocking down shots and creating for his teammates he's worthless out there. He would have been torched in that Goldenstate series. He just doesnt have the speed and athleticism to keep up in the NBA. CJ has been really good on defense and has improved alot. He was killing it in the D league a sign that this kid is nba material. His ceiling is much higher then decolo's. I dont even know where u play Decolo. He cant keep up with PGs and cant stop SGs. How do you work him in; in a young mans league that is loaded with speed and athleticism. I just dont see his game translates well to the nba.
All that french wine..Quote:
