    Howdy again there Spurs fans,...

    Long time no forum fur flying fun with the spirited and supportive Spurs fans. Which in taking a look at the Spurs thus far I see some things and having missed you fellow fun loving rim rustlers. So it's time to mount up once again to rekindle our hashing out differences of sorts.

    Although this time I felt the interest to come in and engage some pondered thoughts in way of sharing team improvement insight assistance.

    Sooo,.. first off for those whom thought I was a sole exclusive fan of the outfit that I'd originally touted as Spurs challengers and compe ors for a championship,..you got it wrong.

    I love great compe ion, I enjoyed and respect the Spurs faithful. Thus my being an advocate of teams playing to potential and or improving upon flaws to be able to get " Win it all " capable. Now it comes time for me to be more of a ailing Spurs aide to impart insight assistance to help a slumbering giant off the ropes,..the same media is now trying to bury the team as has been's but I know better and see far beyond such a limited view.

    Outlook:

    For the Spurs to get back in the saddle the objective in the West is to be able to unseat the reigning champions L.A. Lakers. Where you're having a little better than .500 success in regards to current record the season's really just now getting started and no way is all lost yet,..not even close.

    Yet having noted and assessed this years version of San Antonio Spurs basketball. Along with them providing some surprises that showed then looming flaws in judgment and understanding. The off season money wasn't spent wisely, the players aren't the sole problem, the rosters incomplete and with a number of tweaks it can be fixed,..but it's got to be done swiftly.

    Prognosis:

    In having assessed vitals on this game surgeons look my assessment is coach Popovich and GM Buford as a collaboration combo. Have put an incomplete puzzle on the floor and what they've put together. Has the team suffering via coach and GM now being a few days and number of games late from having not gotten the agents for Melvin Ely and Morris Almond on the phone.

    They're not stars and not even on anyone's roster right now. But with team needs differing from roster to roster in a range of specific manners. ways and reasons. I see those two as skills sets difference makers that can turn this Spurs team around quiet rapidly.

    Ahhh yes,..

    See that festive fan fun in the forum not only went combo global and Epic for the multi angled fun and interest it created.

    It was such a flash fire success that it's one of the only sports threads that's such a net archive. That it's still gaining interest hit's going on it's 3rd year of no longer even being active,.. you try accomplishing that.

    I agree with the OP on his analysis of the teams needs but not sure the guys he wants will make a difference.

    Pop needs to adjust to his talent level not try to fit this team into molds of previous teams.

    I agree Jeffeson needs to be more involved in an open court transition offensive game unfortunately Pop stays with the mechanical structured offense. The spurs need to open it more on offense. Pop is too stubborn smetimes and needs to adjust and be flexible. Sometimes it is good to be stubborn and stick with something and other times it is better to make adjustments and changes. A great coach will know when to stick with sometime or adjust with changes.

    A great coach will maximise his players and Pop is not doing that. Still trying to fit this team into a set mold of past treams.

    See here's the deal Rascal,..

    As a game purist I hate to see talent squandered no matter who the team is. The Spurs have been dominant and I'm not one to hate on them and wish the likes of a game great like Duncan or a super spark player like Manu into a fruitless swan song path to retirement,..they can still get it done they just need more applied floor sciences help.

    See regardless to those whom don't like it fact is 14-10 just ain't getting it done and the approach, mindset and roster collectively has all to do with it. In fact as good as some other teams has gotten it's a blessing these Spurs have managed a 14-10 record thus far,..but they can be made far better with adding inexpensive but skills set required elements.

    See one has to understand that with Popovich and Buford having won so much on Duncan's back. Having been stacked all those years the have to be able to adjust and resourcefully reload from having had such past great fortune of a younger Duncan and Manu. Where previously they only needed modest role player replacements,..the likes of Horry, Bowens and others are no more.

    It's a new day and it's a time where Popovich and or Buford needs to realize it's time to adjust and reassess whats going on around them. Especially in regards to their live and die reliance upon the considerably aging infrastructure,..or be satisfied with flirting with .500 basketball.

    They don't even need Stars:

    See in assessment I identified Ely and Almond specifically because they're the best available no compensation grabs at what they do. As combo inside outside skills sets that this core is in dire need of,..no interior bench player provides what Ely would and neither does anyone on the perimeter outside of Manu shoot like Almond.

    See other teams have went to work tweaking, readjusting and some even totally changed their attack to offset Duncan, neutralize Parker and withstand Ginobili. To such a point of no matter how well they individually play they won't be able to continue have those big production outing's together with whats missing,..nobody's setting Duncan up, Parkers playing off nobody and Manu is coming in trying tomake the impossible happen.

    See those opponents have exacted such a anti-Spurs defense emphasis. That their focus and success has become centralized on making it more manageable to contain them. By a process of rendering a Duncan, Manu and Parker core as stand alone performers that's no longer enough to beat them alone,..they need another big and a SG that can blaze from deep.

    It's not just something I've noted this season either because last season the roster had more talent than to get bounced out of the playoffs either when, in the manner and by whom did it,..Popovich and Gooden got along like oil and water but Gooden was producing.

    Granted Duncan was hobbled and Manu couldn't get all the way back last season in the playoffs. But more glaring than that was Popovich coached like a groundhog in those playoffs and he got the team skunked,..their worst playoff showing in history.

    With Parker mending and Pop still expecting big minutes out of Duncan and Manu going down again. I think Pop better realize his age old mainstays are aging and he'd better start scripting to combo max production and preserve them. McDyess is a backup PF at this stage of his career and Ratliff is 6 interior fouls to give off the bench,..and Jefferson's abilities is flat out being wasted.

    Or of course they can keep on scripting to .500 basketball that will eventually have them bearing an All-Star IR squad of injuries, ineffectiveness and fatigue. With an iden y of having $45 Million of the teams salary cap assets in street clothes,..and every member of the core has sat with injury already season in only 24 games.

    Sure they've kept Matt Bonner and Michael Finley atop of having signed Antonio McDyess and Theo Ratliff. So they're going to have to play them but it can't be for long minutes, nor in a halfcourt slow down set and they're not getting any better nor younger either.

    So to get max mileage you've got to take pressure off the core and get Duncan some size and hustle to work with and off on on the low blocks. You're going to have to provide far more of a scoring threat alongside Parker than Keith Bogans. Which will provide more looks for Jefferson to play into and off of. Where in picking up production it'll also aid Manu and George Hill's effectiveness and get max value out of McDyess,..and those like Mason, Findley and Bonner will all benefit being better fill ins from that as well.

    I believe i might have posted this within another thread. SPURS while gaining youth and athletism & more talent with this current roster they lost more Basketball IQ then gained with this overhaul....
    What?

    How did they get younger and lose basketball IQ picking up a 35 year old McDyess, a 36 year old Ratliff, retaining a 36 year old Finley. To unleash a 33 year old Duncan, 32 year old Manu and a 27 year old Parker that has a questionable durability history,..neither athleticism or youth is in that equation.

    See that's even with you missing the look on what skills sets this team and the core players don't have right now to help them,..overhaul?

    "But as I see it I feel the costly missed look was Popovich and Buford not keeping Drew Gooden as the major mistake in what happened in all the moves they made."



    Absolutely! What the Spurs lack is an offensive black hole who plays no defense. And I'm sure that problem can be readily resolved by signing two guys who can't make any other team in this league (or fill no roles with those teams) and have basically been adjudged on their merits to be incapable of playing at this level.

    There is wisdom in the decisions of many. I'm certain -- absolutely certain -- that NBA GMs spend more time evaluating players than you or I do and that they are eminently more qualified to evaluate players than either of us. When they ALL agree that a guy isn't ready to play in the league, it's a pretty hard sell to insist that such a guy should not only be playing, but playing a role on a championship contender.

    If the Spurs aren't contenders, neither Melvin Ely or Morris Almond is going to change that.

    Wow,..

    What a feat to be exposed to so much and yet remain so blind,..LMAO !!!

    Here's to your path to the basket,..

    Hey Tex,..

    The joy is they managed to have beaten the 12-15 Clippers so now there's a sense of change of fate,..not a chance.

    But Chris Kaman had an absolute 23 points and 15 rebounds field day feasting inside. Out producing any two of this rosters 2 interior bigs all by himself,..it's become routine.

    Which not only will the better teams continue to exploit that. But had Kaman been operating with a real team better than the sub .500 Clippers. Then the look would have been far more clearer.

    The Clippers is a lottery team and they play the paint thin but more talented Trailblazers Wednesday and lets watch how that turns out,..then they'll have to come to the reality of what I'm telling them.

    Oh the irony Chief Lyin,..LMAO !!!

    You know I didn't hone my game skills to use and abuse those like you. But via your insistence be it known I'm capable, notorious and not apposed to doing it you hapless Homer,..here's a taste.

    See in this intro not only have you left no question how clueless you are about basketball. But you're so dumb that here you use the term you epitomize. With your having well over 5000 know nothing entries { an exuberant amount of nothing },..LMAO !!!

    Thus in your chagrin of being incapable to counter any ball related science I just waged to be debated. The open book look of comparison leaves a stooge like you trying to flip the script and shed your moniker. As if you know, can or have ever even remotely offered anything of relevance while laughably trying to cite me a what there Spam master,..ROTFFLMAO !!!

    Whats your next futile and foolishly failed attempt? Something like resorting to proclaim I'm lying on you? Or I'm just picking on you? As a means to veil the fact that you just hate that there's no way for you. To contend with me on any scale as the root of your jealousy {and now leaving you absolutely no ability to refute having just gotten exploited },.. ROTFFLMAO !!!

    Boy aren't you a super stupid cat,..

    I agreed to an extent i still would feel that our defense would be in the same boat as it is currently.. Gooden wasnt exactly known for his defense either..

    Really?

    Ok then other than Timmy D himself. Who was a better PF/C than Gooden as either then and or who on this roster even compares with what he brings now?
