Thank You Peter Holt

[Spurs_9_20_21]

Thank you to everybody that made the signings possible, the people who drafted Blair, McClinton and the the other guy. What's his name? IDK And... everything else!

[Samr]

For the first time in her life, Peter Holt's wife may have reason to be wary of groupies.

[Spurs9]

Thanks Holt!

[fleggy2k2]

wouldn't it be funny/devastating if all of this was just a huge unified dream that thousands of people had and when we wake up the roster would be the same as when the 09 season just ended.

[Avitus1]

Thank's guys you guys slam dunked the out of this offseason.

[Budkin]

I think Timmy spoke up...

I will be buying season tix.

[manustarting2gd]

Thanks Mr Holt and all the parties involved with this offseason! You injected life back into the championship spirits of every Spurs fan across the globe!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I think someday the true story will come out: that the night before the RJ trade Holt was visited by the ghosts of Angelo Drossos, Charles Comiskey, and Harry Frazee.

[phxspurfan]

I love the signings, and if I lived in SA, would be all over a ticket package. For now, I will have to follow what I can from Sun land and hopefully make a couple trips out to SA to see the craziness live.

[manufan10]

Time to buy a bunch of Spurs' gear!

[Spursfan092120]

I think Timmy spoke up...

I don't think he needed to. After everything Timmy did for this team, Peter, RC, and Pop want to give him at least one more ring before he leaves...Tim has a big smile on his face right now as he's playing Madden.

Let the FO love fest continue, but people will see we won't have anyone to slow down Kobe and Artest when it matters if we don't get Bruce back.

[Brazil]

Props to Peter to make the effort to try to give an another ring to Tim: he deserved that

[DrHouse]

Let the FO love fest continue, but people will see we won't have anyone to slow down Kobe and Artest when it matters if we don't get Bruce back.

Bowen couldn't even guard Kobe in '08. Kobe shot 50% from the field in that series.

To think 2 years later that he would be any better is ludicrous.

[superbigtime]

Truly an arms race offseason. Thank you Mr. Holt for giving up the $

[Borosai]

Losing in the first round, to the Mavs, in five games, will do things to you.

This will be a good season.

I think Timmy spoke up...

I don't think Timmy had to say anything.. at least not recently. When he negotiated his contract extension a couple of years back, TD accepted a significantly lower paycheck with the intention of giving the FO the flexibility to hire better talent later on. Well, the time has come for the owners to put up and they have shown themselves to be true to their commitment to foot the bill and upgrade the team. I fear to think how Timmy would have reacted if the Holt & Co. had not done so.

Forget Kobe! How are the Lakers going to slow down Dejuan "The Beast" Blair???!!!

[Blackjack]

Bowen couldn't even guard Kobe in '08. Kobe shot 50% from the field in that series.

To think 2 years later that he would be any better is ludicrous.

He'd guard him just about as well as anyone out there nowadays, but admittedly, not as well as in past years. Citing Kobe's shooting percentage in '08 against Bowen would be a misguided premise, though.

The Spurs and Bowen did exactly what they wanted to do against the Lakers defensively. Their offense failed them.

Pop decided to let Kobe get his points off of jumpers, Bowen obliged, and Kobe didn't live at the free-throw line. The script basically played out the way the coaching staff envisioned.

Now, you can say it was a bad strategy, which I don't believe it was, but you can't say that it was an indictment on Bowen's ability when the coaching staff basically took away his aggressiveness.

But, I'm sure a knowledgeable Laker fan like yourself knew that and was just doing a little needling...

Totally agree with the post of BlackJack. Plus if seem to recall there was even one game in regular seaosn when bowen held kobe to 18 points and actualyy outscored him. He does a significant better job than many out there and I doubt that he has run out of gas.
