Someone is reading too much into one word.
We're doomed!I'm glad I enjoyed the out of the last 9 years because it's OVER.
Doomed implies complete destruction with no chance for success.
I said the Spurs 9 year run of greatness is over because they will not have the talent to legitimately contend the next two seasons.
Big difference.
If the Spurs fan on their big time FA attempt in 2010 then contending will be the farthest thing from any of our minds for a bit.

Naturally this thread shows up tonight and not last night. Of course, when fans expect every player to be an All-NBA 1st team member and perfect, this is what you get. I've seen posts in here about ditching Duncan after a bad game. Lay off the sauce.
The Spurs are le contenders each year that Duncan is on the roster. They'll never be clear favorites or have the talent edge simply because they never have. Under the radar is where they live...until about mid May every year when wonder of wonders, the media discovers they're still playing.
Do me a favor. Stop trying to dig your way out of a hole. Just admit you made a stupid thread and move on.
WE'RE DOOMED.
Michael Beasley went 1 for 13 in his second summer league game, I'm sure he'll have no impact on the Heat this year...
THE HEAT ARE DOOMED!
expectations sure are high for a back up pg who will get may 15 mins per game next season. as long as the guy continues to work on his handles and learns to handle the trap better, he'll be fine. i fully expect hill to be better in pre-season after training camp.
all this hill talk its that Frenchie Iaan Mahinmi that is worrying me above anything else.
Hill could have one prosthetic leg, cataracts, constant muscle spasms, and brittle bone disease and still be a more efficient and capable point guard than Beno ing Udrih: a player that garnered himself Rookie of the Month during December, and played worse every game of his life with us thereafter.
Ian on the other hand, seems to be, how do i put this nicely, SOFT, and UNASSERTIVE, erm, lets just say he is lacking in an area you can't teach.
And that is what worries me.
Arguing semantics now? Very Clinton-esque of you.
Not just Hill that's disappointing.
Mahinmi also disappointing.
A roster with no real proven offensive punch outside the top 3.
You can be a fan and not like the direction the team is heading towards.
Some of you people are a bit too Nazi-like for my taste.
Tough crowd... But it doesnt matter. I call it the way I see it no matter what anyone thinks.
I think Ian's lack of ass is going to be an issue in the Association.
It's the ing summerleagues. Crap players can look like superstars and superstars can look like crap. Not that I expect Hill to be a star, but I think he will be exactly what the Spurs want him to be next season, which is a capable backup NBA point.
Splitter not coming really ruined this team's front court going forward.
No real backup 2 for Manu or 3 for Bruce.
No real big man depth.
Possibly a weak rookie backup PG.
Another incredibly weak bench in terms of offense, this time no Barry to hit threes.
How can anyone like the makeup of this team?
I really don't understand the blatant jumping each camp is showing here. Those who feel George Hill wasn't the best pick are en led to their opinion, and feel justified after he has two, well lets say, mediocre games. Those who like the pick keep crying at the fact it is summer league and only two games.
Not a goddamn one of you wanted the Spurs to draft George Hill. Just admit it. There isn't one of you. This does not mean he is not a good player, or won't be a good player.
It really pisses me off when you homers side with the Front Office simply because they are the "experts". The same experts who made several dumbass mistakes and the same ones who have made some great moves.
This is a message board. People are en led to their opinions.
While I am in NO WAY rooting against George Hill (it obvious Pop feels there is a role for him in 2008), there is a simply another group of people who felt he was not a good pick.
To me it doesn't matter if he goes for 40 points tomorrow. I simply felt on draft day that Donte Greene was the better pick. Greene filled exactly what the Spurs have needed. Big-time scorer with tremendous 3pt range and excellent size at the SF position. However, they drafted a small school combo guard.
Up to you homers. Keep bashing those feel Pop and RC can do no wrong, the list is obvious. This team will be ONE OF THE BEST, as long as Tim Duncan 21 and Tony Parker 9 are running the show.
Now hopefully everyone can take a step back and all have a common rooting interest in George Hill. George Hill is a Spur, not Donte Greene, not CDR, not Chalmers, , not even Bill Walker. I for one hope George Hill is a great backup PG, and I hope that Hairston can be a good 2guard for this team. But, rooting for them, DOES NOT change the fact I felt Donte Greene and Bill Walker were superior players...
Darrel Arthur was avaliable but they had to pick a nobody, even Mario Chalmers was avaiable.
Has there been anyone who has posted in this thread defending the FO?
All I'm seeing are posts deriding one guy for going overboard in his OP.
Save your rants against 'homers' for people who really are.
Nazi like? So because you come out and make a stupid statement after 2 games of summer league we're Nazi like?
How about this: How about its not anything to do with us but everything to do with you. No one here is Nazi like, you're just a ing moron.
Move on.
No one cares that you don't like Hill. Thats all fine. No one has to approve of anything.
But when people point at ONE summer league game and go LOOK LOOK HE SUCKED TONIGHT SO HE"S GOING TO SUCK IN THE NBA people are going to point out how ing stupid they are and rightfully so.
Yes, how can we like a front office that built the supporting cast that's resulted in 4 championships? As for "homer", so what? This isn't science. It's a game. Summerleague games are summerleague games. Only hyperventilating es and the perpetually moody ones worry about an off game by a rookie. I thought I'd never see the day that Spurs fans would be so ing bitter after the franchise had a run like it did over the last decade. Guess I was wrong. If the Spurs really bother you this much pull the trigger already.
he is just late with his assessment, so of you all take a long ass time to realize something because of the man love for Pop.
exactly...
any thread that can almost get me to side with Marcus Bryant has got to be one of the worst threads ever.
both arthur and chalmers have had some terrible terrible games in the past 2 years.
, chalmers for being so "clutch" went 1 for 8 in the jayhawks biggest game 2 years ago, blowing numerous layups.
