What happened?
Wow
What happened?
Hes playing like Kobe
oh no...
at least he is some great insurance for G Hill
good insurance
i said it first
poor man's george hill
would be great for a full season 3rd string PG
I don't think it's a stretch to proclaim Temple as one of the better individual defenders on the team.
He is an NBA defender, I think better than Bogans easily.
I would say he's hte best perimeter defender on the team
Bogans is actually making Butler look like a weakling
His defense has been alright IMO, his offense has been more impressive IMO..he's been getting beat pretty often and he isn't good at recovering/fighting through screens so far..most of the offensive players he's faced have scored on him a lot, although he does show flashes with his length..
I think Bogans, Hairston, Hill and Manu are better perimeter defenders on this team so far..
I like his offense better than Bogans and Hairston though..he has more confidence than them and is obviously a much better ballhandler..
Mason isn't mentioned on either side for obvious reasons..
We would've won this game had George not tweak his ankle
Spurs put up a fight. Can't complain.
Temple played his way into a roster spot for next season. I love the future of this team.
Temple is a very good surprise
If he improve his game more in the summer he can be a solid backup PG next season
Nice going Mavs. Way to strike fear into the hearts of the spurs.
I want Temple to get signed to like a 1 year deal with an option
And have him just in stroke Bowen and Angle threes with Chip Engelland all ing summer. Like 5000 a day. All day.
He can be a good change of pace backup point guard for us.
Dirk played until the end, way to dominate the bench...
I tend to try not get too excited over players that have good games over short spans, but damn this kid has that IT that alot of players dont...he doesnt play timid or scared. Aside from his ability to slash to the basket Im really liking his agressiveness on defense, he doesnt give up any easy points. He'll make a great 3rd PG during the playoffs if Tony or Hill ever get into foul trouble or if a spark is needed, and with some improvement he could make for a decent backup next season if anything developes with Tony over the off-season.
As bare as the roster cupboard is after this season, he may have played himself into the rotation. The kid has poise, and you can't teach that.
Can't disagree with that.
I think he has a legit shot of being the backup pg next year.
I'm thinking that Hill stays at the 2, and will get spot pg duties if both temple and parker are resting. Plus we have Manu.
Sacramento and Houston both cut this kid.
Go figure.
He had a few good moments against Barea and that transition block was impressive. I like that he seems very confident, those type of players do well in Pop's system.
Like I've been saying, the guy knows his way in the Spurs offense. He's got instinct just like Blair.
He's got 2 problems that he can work on this summer. He needs to beef up and second, his 3point shot needs work.
Hairston is definitely more athletic, but this Temple handles the ball with so much more confidence.
Thankfully, the Roger Mason Era is drawing to a close.
Where is Vernon Maxwell when you need him.
