Besides stroke Poop's liberal affirmative action agenda by allowing him to have a coal black starting lineup, tbh?
Deadman is trash and is an embarrassment to the starting lineup. He is the worst big in the rotation and probably shouldn't be in the rotation at all, tbh.
Grab rebounds, and defend. That's playoff basketball in a nutshell. :lol
Plays in garbage time
He's exposed now.
I'm still rooting for him because Gasol coming off the bench is a huge weapon to have. All the Spurs need is for Deadman to just keep pace until Pau checks in.
Selective memory? He defends and rebounds. He has an important role and will be huge as we move forward in the playoffs.
he had a bad first game. it's fine.
moving along
Take up minutes. He'll be better against a team like Houston. He can't handle Gasol.
Better then boban

He's the Francisco Elson of this team. But he starts.
Sorry, I must have missed his defending while getting torched by Gasol tbh.Quote:

In baseball terms, he's an "innings eater" -- a starting pitcher who can go for a while and allow your studs to rest.
Plus, he sets the defensive tone at the rim for the whole game.
Pau starting at this point in his career is a bad idea.
With Pau playing so great off the bench, if it ever comes to taking Dedmond off the starting lineup, I'd rather put lee or Bertans in just to not ruin Paus groove. But I'm cheering for Dedmond to get it going
We'd better re-sign him tbh
It's his mobility on defense that helps. Gasol uses size and strength to score. Dedmon doesn't have the strength. But vs Houston, he'll be better at guarding the pick n roll. Hardin is a master of the pick and roll, and Pau won't be much help on defense. But Dedmon's mobility will help. Remember it's about team defense, not individual man to man defense.Quote:

Some ugly games too where Pop yanked him ASAP:
-12 in 9 minutes
-10 in 4 minutes
Lee would be a better option tbh.Quote:

That's about all he is. He's got zero skills, which you can get away with in the NBA being a big man if you can jump high. Deadman didn't start playing basketball til like 19, so it's understandable.Quote:

He's holding the bat like he's about to jerk a guy off. I wouldn't expect anything less from a TicTacTrot player, though :lol

Snoozeball crowd and commentators get excited because of a cat. Most exciting thing that happened during that 8 hour game

Real talk. Why do you make fun of fat baseball players when you're a fan of the fattest sport in the world?Quote:

lol 14% average fat percentage
lol average fatbol player doesn't even qualify as an "athlete" according to the American Council on Exercise

He'd probably collapse doing that exercise Colon is doing :lol
Splits' boy can't even do what Bartolo Colon does for one pitch without looking like he's about to pass out from exhaustion :lmao
13.8 is below 14. :toastQuote:

I will say this about your boy, though. He's still a far more impressive athlete than those TicTacTwinks you've become "enlightened" by.

This excuse. You love football. You're an American/Texan no matter how hard you try to be an "enlightened" European. If it was just about "Alma Mater" you'd follow Baylor in shit like Lacross and Field Hockey, which I doubt you do.Quote:

And lol at that as a reference. Means your boy from Baylor qualifies as obese. :lol
Deadman will cost the Spurs the 'ship if he keeps on getting trotted out as a starter.
