that is a a shot.
, man. That teardrop is a freak talent. Not just anyone can learn that.
that is a a shot.
Ian was actually using his speed in the second half. Miller is exactly the kind of guy he faced regularly in the D-League, so I'm surprised it took him so long to act like it.
He got another baseline jumper today, which is good news.
Do you go out of your way to post poorly?
Ian has shown good touch, but zero tenacity on D. Does he even have a block? He also has a nose for the ball which makes me believe he's going to be a pretty good rebounder. What's your take since you've seen him 100 times more than me.
What are you talking about, you monstrous dip ? Do you think Parker can transfer his innate abilities to new players through osmosis?

What a colossal waste of time you are.
I do remember thinking at halftime that Mahinmi had looked 'not fast' during the summer league play to that point. Which wasn't at all how he looked in the d-league.
He hadn't looked slow exactly, but he looked only average speed-wise, good that he picked it back up.
I was even wondering if maybe he had put on too much weight onto his frame. Not every body type can handle extra muscle weight, Sean Elliott sure couldn't. Hopefully the speed of Mahinmi's game returns all 40 minutes tomorrow so I can get flashbacks of Elliott losing his speed out of my mind.
guess what
chip coaches the spurs
hill shot forum looks decent
he just needs to shot and have chip watch and tell him what is wrong
tony came into the league with a teardrop?
Ian is actually defending worse and rebounding better than he did in the D-League. His fouls are down; he may have been instructed to play a bit differently by the staff. It looks like he's just trying to get a ten-shot quota in then focusing on rebounding.
where are you from, the states?
You can not compare what Bayless has done. He is being told to score and he is absolutely tearing it up. He is more athletic and finishes 10x better around the rim and with contact as evidenced by his 23 or so ft attempts in one game. If Hill could finish as good as Bayless he would have been scoring way more bc he got into the paint enough, just could not finish. It looks like they are asking Hill to do it all, not focus on one thing.
i liked powells play....the rest of the guys looked like they were in the right place..SL..powells play looked great, his size and quickness to the hoop was something we dont have (he looked like a smaller version of david west) we enjoyed the game....
You thought Javtokas was worth the MLE. You'll have to excuse me if I really don't give a damn what you have to say about the tear drop.
And spare me, it's an easy shot to learn. Me and a couple of buds started fooling around with that shot in between pickup games one night last summer, and now everyone can shoot it.
If he's got a shred of athletic talent, he can learn it.
I'm sorry I missed the part where Tony was using that shot in his early career. You're a complete and utter moron. Do you see why?
man hill sucked today too.. gist is looking good still.
Well I just got done watching the game(DVR). Here's my thoughts.
Hill looks like he is really trying to find himself at the point position. He knows that he has a transition to make as far as being a point goes and it looks like he has been told to work in those areas instead of looking to score. At this point he might wind up in the D-League for a bit to do just that before he is called upon to back up Parker. I see him being a more than capable backup, but maybe not a quickly as Pop anticipated.
Gist should be on the roster on opening day. He looks like a routine double/double waiting to happen. A huge thing that he brings is offensive rebounding. One third of his boards in the past two games have been on the offensive end. We need that almost as much as we need a fourth scorer, which he could wind up being that also. He fits so well into what we do...I just can't imagine him not making the team.
Mahinmi looks good offensively and rebounds well but he is still a question mark defensively. That in itself could keep him out of the rotation as Pop will not tolerate it(unless your last name is Oberto). He looks like just another in a long line of soft Euro big men who are all finesse and no toughness. I like him, but I question whether he will ever be able to earn consistent minutes in the big man rotation for our team.
Someone did some CPR on Hairston and might have even hit him with the paddles once or twice to revive him. He only played 16min but was 4-6 from the field and had 9pts. He looked good going to the rim and finishing. There may yet be hope for him...we sure could use another swingman.
Tolliver and Powell both had good games but I take Tolliver easily. He is in double digits for every game and this one was his best all around yet....collecting 9 boards with 3 on the offensive end. He is 8-13 from deep in the first three games...very nice. I think we bring him on in to camp and give him some time during the preseason to try to earn a roster spot. If his 3pt shot can remain this consistent I see no reason why he can't earn minutes at the SF for us.
More positives than negatives so far, and that is all I really want.
I agree about Tolliver. While I have yet to see the games, and I have no actual account as to the validity of his shots (open or guarded)....he seems to be consistent in every game. He is making his 3s, shooting a good percentage, and getting some rebounds. I say if he can finish out the Las Vegas camp the way he has started it, he definitely deserves an invite to training camp.
So is that Hill or Vaughn that is playing PG for us in the SL. Looking at Hill's stats, he seems to have studied shooting from Vaughn, hehehe. Well on a good note, even though his shot has been off the first 3 games, at least he is filling up the stat sheet in other areas, assists and rebounds.
When will Sy get a chance to play, the RMR?
Hill really only had one bad shot - he was fouled a few times and they weren't soft fouls either. He looked a lot better bringing the ball up and his passes were good passes. Obviously, there's a game plan for Hill right now in the SL and it's not to score. Whenever Morrison was in the game, he was given free reign to attack the basket and they ran a lot more too with him at the point. Hill was setting up plays and just trying to find open shooters - he only shot when he had to. Gist has quick ups and should be great rebounder. I like how he challenges dunks - I think he challenged 3 and stopped or disrupted all 3. They played against NBA experienced players and didn't look out of place at all - definite potential for these young fellas.
You mean, the Spurs are having him work on things?
GASP!!
NOOO!!!
lol @ everyone going all ape over a couple of summer league games. Look at how many lottery picks are sucking it up right now, Beasley went 1-13 in a game, I guess he'll never amount to anything.Do you think these guys go all out and risk injury just so they can win a meaninglesss SL game?
Ian needs a burger....bad....
I hear he's been eating freedom fries in spite of the French.
The fundamental problem here is that Spurs fans expect every player the Spurs draft to turn into an All-Star, even low first round picks (and for that matter, second round picks).
The secondary problem is that most of you s are obsessing over a few summerleague games.
The tertiary problem is that Marcus Bryant doesn't know what the he's talking about.
