Cool. Thanks for sharing. Glad you could tell that Udoka has been working. I like him, I think he can bring more to the court than we've seen yet. He should be more comfortable in the system this year, I hope he takes advantage of it.
Saw them both last night at the Silver Stars game at the AT&T Center
Bowen was there with his wife and oldest son. While Udoka was there with a female friend. All I can say is that Udoka has definitely been working out.
Anyhow, my brother was able to chat with Bowen during half time and he says the majority of the guys are already in practice every day, except for Manu

Nice.....I like it when our players practice hard. Bowen & Udoka needs their own escape from routine... we need Udoka to knock down those 3s
Udoka hasn't knocked down much of anything so far. A waste of roster.
You mean except for Manu AND Parker...
If Udoka has to "pal around" with any Spur, Bowen would be the right guy.
Also glad to see Udoka is securing some appropriate female companionship A man has to have some semblance of balance in his life outside of basketball - not that he has any trouble or needs help in that area. Yeah baby!
Udoka actually upped his game in the playoffs if you look at his shooting percentages last year. What the Spurs would like to see is his defense improve to a level close to Bruce Bowen's level. Offensively, he's already producing more than Bruce per minute played and he's outrebounding Bruce in almost half the minutes.
Ime Udoka
Regular Season .424 FG% .370 3-PT FG%
Playoffs........... .465 FG% .400 3-PT FG%

I am very excited to see how Udoka does in his 2nd season with the Spurs. It almost always takes every new Spur player a year to get used to the Spurs system. Even Brent Barry looked like a waste of space in his first season with us. I think Udoka is going to become an important part of the rotation this season and I'm guessing we'll see major improvements in him.
Well, hopefully.
You think it's time to start Udoka, except when against teams that have a Kobe/Lebron type player? I think Tim, KT, Udoka, Mason, TP, would be better than last year with Tim, Fab, Bowen, Finley, and TP.
Bruce won't be coming off the bench until he proves he's lost a step.You think it's time to start Udoka, except when against teams that have a Kobe/Lebron type player? I think Tim, KT, Udoka, Mason, TP, would be better than last year with Tim, Fab, Bowen, Finley, and TP.
in other words, game 2
Udoka will prove himself this season to be an unnecessary acquisition, and will devalue himself, at which point the spurs will try to trade him for jack squat.
That must have been a great experience man, and I hope Manu will start to practice as soon as possible.
With Manu being out early, Udoka will be a key for the Spurs this season. Hopefully he can have a good second-year bump like others have been known to do. He seems to have the right at ude and work ethic to do so.
I do think he could potentially start....but alongside Bowen, not replacing him. Especially if Mason takes a little while to acclamate himself to the team/system.
Yeah, I can see that
Duncan (4/5)
????
Udoka (3)
Bowen (2)
Parker (1)
The question is who's the big beside Duncan?
Could it be Bonner? We will need scoring/shooting with a lineup like this, and there are 3 strong defensive players (Duncan, Bowen, Udoka) and a decent one (Parker) on the floor already. Maybe Mahinmi? He's shown a suprisingly compelete ability to score in the D-league...
It's kinda funny or maybe admirable that Bowen is hanging out with the guy that'll eventually take his job from him. Maybe he's trying to be a mentor. And Udoka's problem wasn't strength last season, it was his lack of speed. I say he's a great value and a pretty good role player who should only improve.
I think Udoka is already preparing to play more minutes...
Bowen-Udoka Combo.....Defensive 2-3 with dead shot shooting in 3pts..
Bowen and Udoka on court at same time would shut down pierce and allen if they face celtics in finals
Since Udoka's been working out, how tight is his ass?
that's nice to know. besides mason, im looking forward to how udoka steps up this year.
The Silver Stars are still playing? I thought the season was over months ago.
Upon which you've proven to be a useless bloviating self centered gasbag.
Congrats.
Expect better things from Udoka this coming season.
I'm also pretty excited to see how Ime plays this year. As the others have said, he's already had a year to shake off the jitters. In fact, he already started that in the NO series although he fizzled out in the Lakers series. I hope we see a better performance this year and hopefully, Bruce will pass on his defensive powers to Ime.
Looks like Udoka is a about this season
