I can't be racist either because I have evolved beyond such earthly trappings. I don't really care for the Dutch, though. So, my friend, we are at an impasse. The proverbial rock y hard place. Omnipotence is a , ain't it?
Neal got beat by his man consistently. Harrington says o. If by tough you mean he fouls his man all the way from half-court when he got beat a step in transition then sure. He tried very hard but he was getting beat.
I do not recall missed rotations. I have seen him rotate from the baseline on pick and rolls and balls down in the post. I saw him chase Granger through all kinds of screens and contest shots.
I call complete bull .

People overwhelmingly gave props to RJ for his first two games, alleged detractors and supporters. Some also nitpicked on a thing or two, which are far from being the team's major problems at this point.
I'm not sure what you're looking for. When you call it like you see it it's OK, but when other people do it it's being defensive? GTFO
Excellent post.
Enjoyable read as always Blackjack.

I have two questions for you. Throughout this back and forth, have you...
1) Been being honest?
2) Has everything you said been in your opinion?
Because if I don't see "tbh" or "imo" within' every couple of sentences, I get confused to the point where I suddenly begin to think that whatever someone's writing is not in their opinion and they're not being honest. It's not like those things go without saying.
When we signed RJ up, I expected the team to change the 'system' a bit to accommodate his running style a bit more. It didn't happen, and he was stuck in the spot-up-shooter lame duck role.
This team is built around playing the pick and roll when TP and TD are in the floor together. And Manu being the wildcard when he's also out there. RJ truly is the 4th option, and I don't really think that's going to change as long as the big 3 share the floor with him.
I really don't see what RJ has to do with ohmwrecker being a female dog named Omnipotence.
Color Blackjack perplexed; and He's never perplexed.
Scoreboard!
That makes two of us. I led to believe that with great omnipotence comes great responsibility, which can be a bit of a drag. That's why I switched to Ohmnipotence. Nobody bothers me because nobody knows what it is.

Got it. Ohmnipotence is a stage name, a persona that carries quite the burden and responsibility, which is typically inherent when one goes into drag.
Blackjack can relate.
Great point, Blackjack. Nice to have someone bring some common sense to the table
Where do you get your shoes?
This is hilarious.
That's rather insensitive.
Blackjack floats. He's disembodied.
I related to the responsibility and having a persona. Blackjack is my Persona. My name is I Am.
The point I am saying is that people can't go around saying he did nothing in the first three quarters. When he consistently got the ball he's done something with it a big percentage of the time this season.
What exactly is he supposed to be doing to be move involved apart from playing defense? I don't understand what some people in this thread are saying that he needs to be doing on offense to be more involved? What else can he be doing on offense when he doesn't have the ball? Does he need to move better with out the ball?
I meant "shoes" in a metaphorical sense. Are you permanently disembodied? I can only manage temporary disembodiment through "TM", but at some point I always prefer literal shoes.
Disembodiment has it's pros and cons, mostly it's great for pulling pranks and being a perv.
Problem is, disembodiment makes being a perv pretty pointless, so I consider myself an avid observer. Just looking at some of my work, really.
But yeah, it's permanent. I suppose my shoes would be the earth you walk on or the planet you reside, if we're talking metaphorically.
great ing small forward
Well, I thought he was much more involved offensively in the first game. I thought he drove and got the line earlier and more often. He does get touches. It's not like the Spurs don't move the ball around.
That said, it's just really an observation comparing him in the two games, and not a knock on the guy. He's played really well overall.
It just seems like you can't say anything like that without hitting somebody's nerve.
I think he’s been moving really well without the ball, maybe not 100% of the time but he’s been cutting base causing the defence to rotate, which in turn creates opportunities for lanes to open and plays to manufacture for Spurs offense.
I'd have to re-watch the game, but I thought he got touches more consistently in the first game. Thanks for your opinion though. I'll back up RJ if he deserves it. So far I am liking his improvement. Not sure if people recall, but I was one of the first to ask for him traded last season.
I was actually OK with the Spurs resigning him this season too. When I heard he worked with Pop I was OK with the signing. That was a key point for me, if I didn't read he worked with Pop or any other Spurs personnel over the summer then I would have been pissed at the signing. I was thinking of a Stephen Jackson like rebuild where Pop broke him down and rebuilt him to play Spurs basketball after his first season here.
Has Pop done a Stephen Jackson like job on RJ and helped him transform his game? If RJ continues to improve this could be some of Pop's best work yet.
