What lessons did you learn from this first game vs Houston ? (lost 99-85)?
Yesterday’s game was important for Gregg Popovich. We are 18 players in the team now so 3 of us will leave before the regular season starts. Pop inspected all the players against Houston. It was an evaluation game. Besides, Hairston was a pretty good forward (10 points, 5 rbds).
Dejuan Blair, the rookie, stroke a decisive blow with 16 points and 19 rbds…
He was really good. I think he is going to help us a lot this season. He is so full of energy, a fantastic player, an animal. He makes me think of Paul Millsap (Utah). He plays tough, takes every single rebound. Although it was just a pre season game, we immediately saw his qualities.
You’re playing Olympiakos on Friday. Shall we expect an inspection again?
Yes, I think so, Pop will choose the new guys again. Then, little by little, he’ll launch the major players. It may be in Miami on Sunday. I think I’ll play there.
How are Richard Jefferson’s and Antonio Mc Dyess’s integrations going on?
Very well. When I look at the team today, I say to myself that we have risen to a new level. Our team really filled out. Richardson has a great offense talent, McDyess plays good defense and is an excellent shooter. We have a real opportunity to win the NBA le. But on the other hand, the Lakers and the Celtics got stronger too. The battle will be tough next season.
With all the new systems to learn, isn’t it too hard for them?
No, not at all. Pop simplified the systems. We have a few less than last year. I am the first one to be a little more free. When the ball is in my hands I can create some game. He wants me to take more responsibilities especially on a leadership and offense levels. I’ll do my best to take up the challenge.
After an exhausting European compe ion, how do you feel?
I’m recovering well. Frankly, Pop was great leaving me on the side the first week. He’s aware the season is gonna be long and I need to get back on my feet. My program is lightened for another and then I’ll get in the heart of the matter.

I sure hope the Spurs are still able to surround Tony with talent when it becomes his team. I am really looking forward to being a Spurs fan, not only the next couple of seasons, but well beyond.
Is that a misprint or did Tony actually refer to Jefferson as "Richardson"?
Nice shout out to Malik.
Malik Rose 2.0 Solid work last night.
Perhaps we should christen Blair with a new nickname - El Animal!

Nice to see Tony name-dropping Hairston, that's a great sign..it's not that surprising based on past interviews, since Tony seems to wanna play with some athletes/finishers, just like any PG would..
15th spot is his to lose IMO..
The Animal.
Take of the "the." Just, "ANIMAL."
...or MANIMAL!!!
I am the first one to be a little more free.
humm more proof this is tp's team
Blair is just going to be a straight up BEAST this year. I had a feeling as soon as we drafted him people in San Antonio would LOVE him, and sure enough after the 1st pre-season game, he's a fan favorite.
he's replacing Manu as THE fan favorite.
i have to re-do my sig! gotta add in Blair and Jefferson.
I still like the "The Beast" for Blair. Or..I saw in a thread somewhere "Grizzly Blair"..that's cool too.
The Beast and Grizzly Blair are the best I've seen.
I like "Beast" for DeJuan.....even got a soundtrack for his (eventual) mixtape lol!

PITT BULLL- he won't let go, he'll go at it!The Animal.
Looks like The grizzly blair almost broke the other guys arm!
Yea, when you can sling a guy who's 7'3" over your back like it ain't no thing, you get to call yourself whatever you'd like.
I'm a fan of Grizzly Blair myself.
