Summer League Game 1: Spurs vs. Grizzlies

[Obstructed_View]

Somebody needs to make Ian some sammiches.

[mystargtr34]

Ian's legs are way to skinny.... i thought he put on more weight than that.... thin base.

He really has to bulk up a bit if he wants to even be able to defend 4s

[Mr. Body]

The Spurs need to wake up or else this will be a pretty disappointing start to summer league 2008

You need to realize the 'big four' are not very talented. There's not a single stud on the team, just some guys who may someday be rotation players.

ROFL @ not taking Donte Greene for George Hill

BWAHA.

Anyone with a brain at this point could see. Greene would of made things A LOT easier for these Tim Duncan Spurs.

[Whisky Dog]

Donte Greene!

Yeah, I saw that after I had already posted.

[ceperez]

Mahinmi finally getting warmed up

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I hope this is all nerves and not playing in a system.

This is the first SL game for the Spurs. It's the fourth for Memphis. It's going to be okay.

[Mr. Body]

Looks like TD will be the only big worth a and TP will be the only PG worth a on this team next season.

I'm pretty sure Ginobili will be the only SG worth a on the team, too. Seriously, this team will be worse than last year's.

[Spurtacus]

Finally! Hill took it to the basket and drew a foul.

Mahinmi is about to kick someone's head off when he grabs a board.

Hill is sneaky productive. Obviously a bad shooting night, but can understand because of the nerves. Dude still is the 2nd leading scorer and leading rebounder.

I like him. Plus, D looks pretty good.

[Obstructed_View]

Anyone with a brain at this point would know not to make judgments before a single game is even completed.

Try this one on for size.

[SPURSGOAT]

Gist better make it... I like what I have seen from him so far.

[Spurtacus]

This is the first SL game for the Spurs. It's the fourth for Memphis. It's going to be okay.

I didn't know this was Memphis' fourth game already!

[Kori Ellis]

Hmmm, Tolliver. 6'9", 240 pounds. Ditch Bonner, sign this kid

I think he's actually 6'8, but he's very "Spur-like" in personality (Roger Powell is too.) Both very good guys. Tolliver's rep is that he's a little soft and backs away from contact. The Cavs really liked him in training camp last year and he was one of their last cuts.

[ducks]

why does mem have played 3 more summer league games then the spurs
wtf

[Mr. Body]

Hill has been rebounding well.

Agreed, I didn't see anyone in that group that could do much better than what we had on the floor last year around the big 3 (4 with Bowen). That isn't very promising...

[Whisky Dog]

I'm pretty sure Ginobili will be the only SG worth a on the team, too. Seriously, this team will be worse than last year's.

I thought about that, but in fairness I'll give the new kid a chance to prove what he can do with some minutes before I label him not worth a . He did prove last season that he CAN be productive.

Hill doesn't look anywhere near as NBA-ready as Chalmers has in Summer League. You can blame it on first game jitters, but Chalmers didn't have them. At this point, you would have to say that Hill has some catching up to do, to be at the level of Chalmers. So unless you believe that he has a lot more upside than Chalmers, the pick is looking pretty weak.

The same things could be said about the comparison to CDR. It's not only the numbers. He just looks a lot more NBA-ready.

I hope Hill lives up to the Spurs' hopes. But to me it still looks like a guy who has to develop to become as good as some of the other guys already are.

I think they are making him try to setup to much
and it is effecting his game

it is his first game

[2centsworth]

Hill is a baller.

[Borosai]

This is the first SL game for the Spurs. It's the fourth for Memphis. It's going to be okay.

I noticed that. I bet the schedule was created by the same people who planned the Western Conference finals. Rigged!

one game means nothing
and mem has played 3 games against other people before tonight
spurs played no one

Obviously. No realistic person would think any of the summer league Big Four would be NBA studs.

[coopdogg3]

Weak call on Hill.
