Thanks.
Richard Jefferson's versatility = no room for Theo
smallball . . . . 4 life
Nice, RC is saying that Spurs will play a lot of small ball.
Awesome
Free suggestion: Stop lobbing softball questions.
Say quote Mr. Popovich : "If we don't win it, I should probably be fired". Given the team is not considered a major contender, and is approximately $15 million into the luxury tax, is any consideration being given to changes in either the team management or coaching?
Richard's versatility = Pop put him at PF, and the world didn't explode.
Might be nice to actually evaluate the (in)effectiveness of that decision on the basketball court, though....
Thanks for the interview. I've been waiting to hear RC's thoughts on the trade.
The development of Blair combined with Bonner being placed back into the starting lineup made Ratliff obsolete. With the Bobcats willing to eat the remainder of his deal, the trade had to be done.
they won't
I once asked a question for one of these things that wasn't generic garbage (eg "wow, are you guys busy at the deadline?") . . . and it wasn't one of the questions asked.
After I saw my question miss the cut (which could have had an informative answer), I stopped sending them.
Free suggestion: consider that spursdotcom works for the Spurs organization. You want to get after someone to ask tough questions, start elsewhere.
I like your style. You have my vote.
Spurs.com is the official site of the San Antonio Spurs and the interview was with RC not Pop.
Wouldn't you pay money to see that question asked and answered? That's journalism that'll sell some papers...
everytime I see RC, his face gets sadder and sadder
I am glad RC decided to speak up. I was worried that I might have to get a little rough with the guy.
::sets down can of whoop ass::
not really, it was question about one of their foreign rights held players. Something that had some info missing for a good while.
I appreciate these little interviews they do when they do, especially after Pop stopped the Pop show (and yes, I know this one was with RC).
I just wouldn't expect any questions that would illuminate anything or inform.
The Pop show was the same way, and that was unfiltered with the public. I was always amazed at the odd questions he had to take from both the public and the hosts especially. The public at large doesn't know what they want to know, so they just kind of spurt things about how busy people are, or how excited they are, etc.
Hmmm...not a bad idea. Seems easy enough to do. In fact, I'll even circle some of the key differences for you.
Considering the number of questions we get for the mailbag it's highly likely that it was missed. We have a limited amount of time to ask the questions and a limited amount of questions to ask.
No, not your relatively polite question about foreign players who's rights they hold, I'm talking some fastballs thrown high and inside. A little less, kiss the 4 rings, and more what have you done for me lately... It might be the last interview that journalist ever got, but man, it would be great journalism. Speak truth to power and all that...
Can you please print up my open letter to pop and give it to him? Thanks in advance
I appreciate that, and don't mind of course when a question that could bring info to the table that the local media doesn't bring. Even today's question about the Ratliff deal that brought up RJ's versatility, that's better than any reaction reported locally. Not surprising, but it's something.
And like I said, I'm sure the vast majority of the questions you get are just eyeball rollers. And if you want to serve your audience, then you post their asinine questions.
Ultimately I'm just disappointed that hard information is so hard to come by from the local media that the Spurs mailbags are like 'the last resort'.
Though I've had severe criticism for both the front office and Pop (this year especially on Pop), I wouldn't really get anything out of confrontational questions with them.
I can already guess how they'd react to fastballs on the inside. I feel like I know that already.
What I look for is information that I didn't have before.
Woo small ball!
Someone needs to ask the FO if they've grown tired of winning.
I mean, all the compe ion has either long and athletic, or huge and immovable front courts.
What do we do? Play with smurfs.
Im trying to keep a smile on my face, but this is so stupid I dont know how long I can consider myself a fan.
I want to see a BASKETBALL team, I dont care if it's bad. I want athleticism, defense, and Length.
Im tired of this glorified little league bull , and want to see a basketball team with the proper players at the proper positions, no mater their experience level.
The day a local media outlet does that is the last day that local media outlet ever gets an interview. And besides, the type of questions you want wouldn't and shouldn't be asked by an en y that is owned by the team itself.
Considering that nobody had heard a word from RC or Pop since the trade, this interview was value. Like always RC was guarded in his answer but it's better to here something than the silence we heard previously.
See #18 if you please. Seriously, a little push might well do the FO some good.
