[kbrury]

I was rooting for Haislip but so far even Williams has had a better preseason lol

G. Hill - 11/12 from the FT line

Hill, Hairston and Blair have all demonstrated a nice ability to draw fouls and get to the line. Good stuff.

[ElNono]

I liked that Bonner and Fin were kept at 15 mins... if that's the plan, there might be hope...

[benefactor]

Our defensive potential is very exciting.

[completely deck]

WoohooO!!!

Marcus is a good player man, and he still has plenty of upside... Don't let the ST haterade for him fool you. It's gonna be a damn shame to have to let him go if we do.

Link to Ian comments for you. No where does he say he figured out how to stop fouling...


I like Coby Karl. He is a solid player.

Ofcousre I can comment, I remember his general message. I must admit it's frustrating to see Ian pick up that many fouls that quickly game after game. Perhaps hes 1 or 2 years away from contributing to this team or he just doesn't have the mental aspect of the game. I'm sure his athleticism and size is worth keeping around for now, but I am no longer as optimistic as I was before.

I think you need to re-listen.

We haven't really seen Ginobili and Blair on the court together. Hope they can co-exist on the court.

Blair, 10 min, 2 rebound, 2 assist, 1 steal and 7 pts, really not bad.

[Blackjack]

I'm tellin' you...

The ability of the Spurs' young guys to get to the foul line, combined with the Big 3+1's exploits, and I'm absolutely ecstatic about this team.

Yes! That is what I'm most happy about

Real talk...

So nice to actually have "young guys" for a change, lol... and that +1 doesn't hurt either.

Hairston impact player of the game. He says he's focusing mostly on D and understands that what he has to do.

Williams is holden it down . Props to williams .

[Spurlady]

Good grief, the number of foul calls was disgusting. As much as I complain about the regulars, I 'd rather have them back.

Nothing is fooling me, so far Williams has played better then Haislip.

LeBron wasn't able to create for them. He only had 1 AST.

[Spursmania]

I'd say the guy with an effortless 22 would be the impact player of the game..

I know. But after the game the Spurs announcers always announce an impact player of the game. They usually don't have the privilege of hearing from the big 3 much. So, instead of TP they pick secondary players. Tonight, they announced Hairston as Player of the game.

EVERY PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE, thks to the replacement refs, has demontrated a nice ability to draw foul and get to the line........Bad stuff.
