Since the defense showed up, I'll now share a couple of thoughts:
First of all, if the NBA is going to terminate the broadcast before the game is over, they can kiss goodbye any chance of my purchasing it. Really the opposite of what a free preview is supposed to do.
Duncan looked amazing. He didn't start off well, and Hibbert was ready to play before Timmy was. He didn't get some calls, and seemed to use some of that to just go back and get his own. Some of the moves he made were so impressive and effortless it's no wonder people don't realize how good he is. Taking the first three quarters off playing D'Antoni ball kept him fresh for the fourth quarter lockdown. That was fun to watch.
George looked awful to start, and got way better toward the end. I think he began to improve the moment he wasn't asked to run the offense. This team needs a backup point guard. Bad.
Anderson looked really good. For a rookie who's way undersized to go in and have to play Danny Granger, I was quite impressed. He doesn't look lost, and his defense wasn't terrible. Note to Pop: PLAY MORE ING PICK AND ROLL WITH THOSE GUYS ON THE FLOOR!
RJ looks like a different player. There is little doubt he understands what's going on FAR better this season. He put up numbers like tonight a few times last year, but they were meaningless stats. He really contributed tonight.
Blair looked, well, undersized. There. I said it.
Bobby Simmons just sucks so bad I can't describe it. At least he got pulled out before he gave the lead back to Indiana. I expect him to be starting before Thanksgiving.
RJ being aggressive is also great. I liked his game tonight. If he is aggressive and drawing fouls that is HUGE for us. Doesn't matter if he doesn't always get the AND 1 play, just drawing those fouls helps a lot.
When you draw lots of fouls and get to the free throw line a lot that can really hurt the other team and it also gets us some rest so we can refocus on defense.
I'm sort of with you on this. Parker didn't play well, and showing me a box score isn't going to convince me that he did. I'll turn that box score around and show how ing scary he's going to be when he actually DOES start to play well.
Wait so you can't stand that I say he started out horrible and ended up playing better so this is why you're arguing with me even though your dumbass stats prove me right otherwise?
Like you said, he faltered in the first half so he DID start out crappy and played better in the second half. Good to know.
And I still agree.
Grats on the Win Golden state warri... er I mean San Antonio Spurs
That you don't know what the you're talking about? I agree.
haha good to see you took the vagina way out princess.
Have some cheese with the whine.
And I still agree. I can go all day dude.
Screw it, I feel like an idiot talking to this dude and hi-jacking this thread for something so dumb. Enjoy.
Good for you. Go away.
OMG STFU
In other news, JKidd with 18 dimes tonight.
Take it to PM, children. Jesus Christ. Nobody wants to see your posts, and nobody cares about your argument.
There's a touch of Aussie in there too - he spent about a decade out here.
Get off your high horse, "father." The argument was done. Nobody asked for your condescending follow up.
Oddly enough, he sounds a lot like Lars Ulrich.
I'll admit Simmons didnt look good but to totally bash him is a little over the top...Obviously the Spurs have stuck with him for a reason..Always remember we are fans and they are coaches who actually get paid to scout players and thier impact on teams...give the guy some more time before going all out after the first game...
Once Tiago shows up, as long as Anderon doesn't screw everything up off the Bench and just plays ok, I see no reason why Simmons should be getting any minutes at all. I'm talking about one single minute.
RJ is playing great. Love his new jumper.
What we need to work on is our Defense, (which I imagine will naturally be better once we enter 7-foot Tiago in the rotation), and we gotta limit turnovers. But is only Game 1, so I'm not gonna rant on anything. Lets see how things go Saturday against the Hornets.
George Hill also played fantastic in the 2nd Half. Hope he becomes a little more consistent throughout an entire game and run the offense a little better. If he does that, it would be good seeing him, Anderson and Tiago tearing up opponent benches across the league.
Oh, and get well soon Bonner.
The argument isn't done because you keep posting up fake quotes from the other person. So knock it the off. You've been doing it for several pages now and it's finally getting annoying. I wouldn't have to act like your father if you didn't act like a stupid bratty kid who doesn't know when to shut up.
You were asking for it. tbh
Yeah he must be really good in practice.
A good summary, although you forgot your avatar man! Manu looked like mid-decade Manu tonight - creative, tough, healthy, and ahppy to be playing basketball.
Also, TP - started slowly, but improved as the game went on. Madea couple of bone-headed TOs but mostly made good decisions. Finishing improved as the game went on. Jumper still there. All in all, nice to see.
The argument was done before your re ed post, moron. Shut the up and stop acting like so high and mighty like your post was necessary to resolve our dispute, because it wasn't.
Woah! DeAndre Jordan just hit two FTs! And looked good doing it, like Grizzly's FT shooting tonight. It's a season of surprises!
Whatever helps you sleep at night, champ.
