i dont see him getting run now we just have to hope bonner and mason realize their gone after this year especially if they dont show some life out on the court
like you would know. he never in' plays.
and the same people that use this as an argument to not play him, are the SAME in' people who wanted RMJ over Michael Pietrus ( anybody over him), and one of the reasons was because Michael Pietrus supposedly had too low a bball iq. you people wanna remind me what he's been up to over in Orlando? if not i'll just assume you think your morons, which is true.
People only use that as an argument because they can't deal with the possibility that the coach made a mistake by not picking up his option of playing him all season long. Why someone trades away one center and refuses to give the other any minutes on a team with championship potential should be questioned. If not now, then if and when the Spurs' lack of size prevents them from winning a le.
I beleive we were getting stomped by Dallas and Blair + Dyce had foul trouble.
Ian sucks. Get over it people.
we know that. But so does Bonner, and maybe even more than Ian. The judge still out on that one.
and again I ask, Is Lous Admunson really better than Ian Mahinmi????
IMO play ian when that scrub is in. If Ian can't overplay him, then send his ass straight back to France.
Admunson is a stiff true. Putting in another stiff to rival a stiff though doesn't equate. Harlem is 100% right in that splitter would be perfect right now but that's neither here nor there.
well my point is that stiff could get a few rebounds and prevent penetration instead of red rocket bricking threes.
Not really. Pop has had years to see both guys in practice. The fact that Ian still can't get into games when they count should be pretty telling.
Yes, he is.and again I ask, Is Lous Admunson really better than Ian Mahinmi????
Ian will be heading back to france soon enough.IMO play ian when that scrub is in. If Ian can't overplay him, then send his ass straight back to France.
Just wait till if and when we play LA. Sending Bonner against Gasol or Bynum...
Stiff? You don't know Amundson. That's ok though, I don't expect you to know the 10th men on the Suns very well.
He is the anti-stiff. Jarron Collins is a stiff. Amundson is very athletic and has the 2nd highest vertical leap on the team behind J-Rich. He is a great shot blocker from the weak side where you need timing and jumping ability. He's horrific on the offensive end though.
Amundson is a stiff? do you actually watch the games? he is a hustle guy. he impected game 1 and he had a good game against SA in the last game they played in the season?
you need to just stfu, and quit fooling yourself that you know what you're talking about.
amundson's a girl. remember the "ugliest player in the league" thread way back when? i didn't see his name or pic in there, weird!
What? Popa is a moron. Who cares about practice? We are talking about games here. Remember he played those few minutes that one time and ALTERED SHOTS!
It's pretty much a given that Ian will be gone after the playoffs. What I find very interesting though is that Sean Elliott keeps referring that Ian will be a big part of the spurs future next season. Even going as far as saying he sees him getting big minutes.
I know Sean isn't a coach but he is usually in the loop on what goes on behind closed doors. So who knows.
In Ian's case "altering shots" consists of changing an opposing player's field goal attempt into two free throw attempts.
I don't necessarily want to see Ian now because it might throw off the team's chemistry but I really wish he would've gotten a lot more burn during regular season. Then he'd be prime to take Bonner's minutes. I always defended Bonner but he seriously disappears in the PO's.
Lol

I sure hope Sean is right. Anyway, I would lean his opinion before that of the many Ian-haters on this board. Personally, I've seen nothing to indicate this kid can't play.
In case no one has noticed, outside of Duncan, this team still lacks size. Memo to the Ian-haters, the Fakers STILL sport a frontline trio of Bynum, Gasol and Odom. If the Spurs are somehow fortunate enough to get past the Suns and meet the Fakers in the WCF, many of these same Ian-haters will start ing again about how the Spurs cannot matchup with the Fakers size on the frontline.
I'll say it again, big men are not growing on trees. Pushing aside a young, raw, 23 year-old, 6'11", 235 lb, center, who has the raw ability to rebound, defend the rim, run the floor and provide some low-post offense is insane.
While the Spurs could use Splitter, he isn't here. And even if he shows up next year, having him as part of a frontline that includes Duncan, Blair, Dice and Ian would be outstanding. The Spurs would then be well-equipped to match the size and length of the Fakers, and take some of the workload off Duncan as he gets older. The Spurs need for harvest Ian's potential - not now, but certainly next season.
"you don't teach size"
/thread
Many a GM has learned the hard way that size isn't enough. If size and athleticism were all that it took Francisco Elson would still be a Spur.
Frankie Elson would be getting Bonners minutes right now.
The Spurs have been "harvesting" that potential for half a decade now. How many more years do you think Ian should be given?
Half a decade huh? 3 years (2 of which have been lost to injuries) is half a decade?
Drafted in 2005. Five years ago = half a decade. Sucks for him about the injuries, but that's life.
