Mahinmi really isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
No big deal- more minutes for Blair.
French NT needs Ian's free throw shooting.

he was at the game of france vs hongrie...i have pictures...
what? I thought Tony wouldn't play another game this summer
Bingo. Any playing time is good playing time at this point. I'm more concerned with Mahinmi's level of play than injuries right now. We have 7 bigs so if he goes down then we're still fine. But if he rolls into the season and sucks (for lack of playing time) then he doesn't play anyways. The PT is much needed at this point.
Best of that would be playing time with TP, it will be good for him when back in SA he will have to fight for minutes in the pop system
I was excited when i heard this news. this is a great great opportunity for Ian. He'll be able to shake off more rust.
Great opportunity for Ian. I'm actually eager to see how he plays.
It would be great if he preforms well there and dosen't get injured.
probably good for Ian to shake off some more rust, but I can't help but think the French NT has been talking to Tau about how to screw the Spurs...
All of the sudden our whole team is made of glass...? He is what 22? He needs all the experience he can get. Injuries are apart of the game get over it.
That's good news
Ian need to play a lot. He has been of a whole year, the more he plays the better he'll do
Ian definitely needs the playing time. Now, if he gets injured, that would suck, but the PT is much needed, so I'm fine with this.
I really hope he plays good, but if he gets injured ship his ass out of San Antonio!
exactly. all these talk about injuries are annoying. let the players play. the manu situation has made everybody paranoiac. and at this time of the year, even a injury wouldn't be so dramatic for the spurs. still plenty of time to recover.
Mahinmi to Join National Team
by Timothy Varner
48 Minutes of
Tony Parker has rejoined the French National Team after being recalled to San Antonio for a medical examination and short rehab stint. In his absence, the team lost Joakim Noah to Chicago (as planned) and upset the Italian team. So long as they perform well against Finland, the French are in prime position to advance.
This is all good news for the team, we have reason to pay close attention over the coming weeks. The French team features Parker and Nando De Colo, each of whom have a future with the Spurs organization. And now, according to reports, it will feature Ian Mahinmi.
Ian Mahinmi is set to join his countrymen for the balance of international compe ion. Even if he only practices with the team, this will be a great boost for his offseason training routine.
Obviously, the Spurs and their fans get a little anxious because of the possibility of injury to Parker and/or their project bigman. But this is a perfect opportunity for Mahinmi to extend his strong summer league play and continue to shake off the rust after the lost, injury-plagued 08-09 season.
Count me in with those who hope that Mahinmi is able to play heavy minutes with the NT in advance of Spurs training camp. If we’re lucky, he and Parker will find opportunity to sharpen their two-man game. Parker’s vote of confidence is certain to curry favor with Coach Popovich. One assumes Parker has already cast his vote in the hearing of Coach Collet.
Collet comments: “I decided before the match against Italy to call Ian Mahinmi. I was prompted to make this choice due to the problems of tendonitis Ronny Turiaf. The latter seems to have fully recovered. However, it seems interesting to integrate quickly Ian and create some compe ion in this sector of the game (inside). I am very pleased with the return of Tony with us today in training. We must return quickly in the preparation and focus to address the best possible match against Finland, it will certainly not be taken lightly.”
Tony Parker, Nando De Colo, and Ian Mahinmi. That’s three reasons to watch.
Good news. This may be the exception to the rule that the Spurs don't want their players on the national team.
They'll have few opportunities to evaluate Mahinmi between now and October 31 when they need to decide whether to exercise his '10-'11 option. This could be a big chance to take a look at him.
This game is on Saturday @ 7pm? What time est is this suppose to be?
nvm I figured it out. That game is @19:00 bst which is 1pm cnt.
Good news for France, it can also help Spurs see if he's not injury prone...
French NT
did they ever won anything?, I mean they put OK teams there and now but they suck.
unaccomplished teams don't deserve a thread before the magnificence of the Spurs.
