Why don't you two do some sort of bet on the next Spurs game and the winner keeps the avatar. Something like calling the final score and whoever is closer wins. You can have an advantage like going first, winning ties and suggest some handicap as you've got like 40k more posts them.

They're the same person.
Chicken Strips has made his move for more exposure: Alt-ing himself...
Work of genius, if you ask me...

Good Job Rob!

I never know who is real and who is an impostor. I'm Kurt Russell at the ice station. Trust no one. Not even the dogs.

-Kyle is a keeper. ? he sucked the first 3 quarters...

- Probably won't happen, but semi realistic rotation I'd like to see when healthy: Gay/Bertans, Leonard/Ginobili, Aldridge/Gasol, Green/Murray, Parker/Mills.

- Lauvergne's injury, provided it doesn't last long, is good because it forces Pop to play small at almost all times. Once again, he inexplicably plays him next to Gasol against a team playing small off the bench and they predictably struggle.

- Lost amid this start, is the putrid 3-point shooting. Last in makes, attempts and percentage. In dire need of more offense, Bertans should be in the rotation.

- Spurs combination of defensive precision and length, particularly when they go small, is unmatched.

- Green's ability to step up when needed most, is why he's one of the great role players of his era and one of my all time favorites.

Yeah the poor 3 pt shooting/ attempts is a little troubling especially after Becky seemed to mention an emphasis on getting more up. So that's something to definitely monitor.

As for Green, his play has been remarkable tbh. He's playing like an elite role player imo; something like the Iggy's of the world and other players that are not quite stars but have a star like impact. He's got the step back working, the finishing at the rim, and the 3 ball is back. His growth this season is odd for someone his age but it's truly remarkable. If, and this is a big if, he continues to play like this I'd consider him a candidate for MIP.

It won't happen. He has improved touches and shots bc Murray is new and young, and not as ball dominant as Tony (he just doesn't hold the ball and dribble dribble, something that has to be liked about him, he has the ball and makes a play quickly or passes to someone)... Anyways, the most significant player, Kawhi is not playing. When he's back Danny's usage will go back down.

But I registered here 2 years before him...

Anyway, I don’t care him having the same avatar, he cares. So I’m not changing it and I don’t pay attention to him anymore. Waste of time tbh.

I watch this movie at least once a year. An absolute classic. Movie and soundtrack.

The best thing about Green's play is that he hasn't gotten to many on the money passes when he has his feet set. He has had a few in the corners, for example the hammer play by Ruby a few games ago. Most of his attempts seem to be coming from off the dribble and pull ups. This is very encouraging because it should become easier for him once Leonard is back.

biggest surprise for me was green showing some improved ball handling.
he adds the ability to attack close outs consistently we're a much scarier team.

agree about LMA, he's looking spry and energetic..the optimistic side of me wants to look past the stats and hope there's been genuine improvement..the pessimist thinks he's gonna pout and sulk and regress as soon as our MVP returns

i give snatch an A+
i give Rocalcio an F- for confusing the fuck out of me and diluting the greatness of RobDiaz with his drivel

Give me a break guys, If R2D2 hadn't chosen the same avatar as me I would be anonymous as possible, and I'd be glad.

I'm here to enjoy a forum about the team I support, not to fight against anyone.

I like you Rocalcio. this little rivalry is amusing... more than the other trolling fetishes and stalking I see here..this one is truly funny.

I'm not a big fan of if as far as I'm concerned tbh. But on this kind of forum I guess you have to deal with kids behaviours. I'm being honest when I tell that I was here before him, that's easy to check anyway. The thing is I'm french and by the time I registered my english really sucked so I didn't dare posting.

I guess my little duel with R2D2 is an occasion to improve my writing, so I have to deal with it, but I don't really like the insults that come too easily.

You were too afraid to come, I reckon that makes me more alive than you, right ?

Props to you Rocalcio for improving your English and forum game tbh.
Yea... the insults are annoying. I totally get you there.
