Great. Get lost.

I thought you said you weren't going to follow this thread anymore. It's literally a waste of time, whatever that means.
I have to admit that this is the conclusion I'm starting to reach.
If he can get healthy and stay that way, he's got no excuse for not contributing. He's been with the Spurs longer than Thomas has, so he should know the defense as well as anyone.
He still only has a total of 23 minutes NBA PT. With him missing camp and all the other changes going on, I just see a significant contribution becoming less and less likely.
I just don't believe he's ever going to get healthy, but I remember a time when I thought the same thing about Kurt Thomas.
mahinmi only joined the spurs last year and played a couple of games before he was sent to the toros so i don't think he knows more than thomas.
Do you only mean by injury or do we also have to include fouling?
(Okay, it's a cheap shot but I'm in a nasty mood due to the Longhorns getting *^%*&%*&%^*!)
Ian's problems, of pretty much equal persistence, have been injuries and excessive fouling.
The Toros run a lot of the same schemes that the Spurs do, so the players know the plays and such.
Mahinmi started last season with the Spurs, was at both training camps, spent as much time as possible working with the team and ran Spurs sets in Austin and summer league. Thomas joined the Spurs in February.
Remember, Mahinmi is younger than George Hill. It's silly to judge him, write him off, or proclaim him a savior at this point. Only time will tell.
Esp. when big man needs more time to develop skills.
Yeah but his PER was 34.86!!!!
That'd be first in the NBAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I saw that. I guess Hollinger is holding back after what happened with Jackie Butler.
we shouldve sign that other guy in the pic on the right...i think his name is jesus....
well if Ian isnt coming, maybe we can sign Courtney Sims
Yo chump, wtf??? Did Ian significantly mess up his other ankle up now?
Gosh damn, I am slowly losing all hope for seeing him before New Years. Hopefully the Spurs have all blowout games(some Ws, some Ls) when he's finally back, so Mahinmi can get a heaping helping of garbage minutes.
EDIT: referring to yesterdays game, where he was DNP. I know you expected to be able to see him play, so what's wrong now? It's like he's the Spurs very own Oden. Except for the fact Ian could've played last year, but he ended up on the Toros because there were too many bigs, and not enough minutes to spread around.
ing Gist would be nice right about now, Pop is looking like a royal for picking Toll over Hairston AND Gist, and Ahearn over Farmer, to a certain extent.
Anyone think Hairston would be able to contribute more if he'd been put on the team than Bowen(I won't even mention Ime, he's been the worst player so far, and with JV and Fin there, that's saying something) has up to this point? I think he might've, but having so many rookies might've overwhelmed Pop. Still, Gist is everything Toll is plus some, so I don't get it.

Mahinmi has the power to heal instantly; he simply chooses not to.
No. The contribution Tolliver has given is about all you could expect. Hairston isn't giving effort every night in Austin. Until he does that, he's not ready for San Antonio. I'd like to see him locked up with a roster spot if the Spurs can free a couple up.
the only thing he impress me a little bit is just his first name Ian.
Ian Mcallen acts the magneto in the X movies, but Ian himself is a pansy who is also a knight.
I'm starting to think that we might never see Ian Mahani play again in a Spurs uniform. I know he cant be nursing that injured ankle anymore.
