Once upon a time in Spurstalk...
I apologize to Udoka in advance but .......
If this were a Spurs game, Ime Udoka would be subbed in and the Lakers would go on a 55-7 run.
Welcome back, Ime...
Welcome back you dog.

Terrible choice. He was already done in 2009
Udoka can clearly come in here and do a better job of doing the job that Simmons couldn't do and neither should really be doing. No doubt.
James Anderson needs to hurry his ass back.
Feeling the Ime love here.
Hes probably here in case theres a royal rumble on the court. I hear hes good in a fist fight and has a mean right hook.
I thought we saw the last of Udoka, but well what do ya know? He's back.
.
I was hoping it was only a dream, but damn it...it's official.
Anyone who is overly upset or overly excited about this signing is being ridiculous.
Ime has a decent midrange J, and when confident, he has a solid outside shot. He actually has a really nice stroke. The biggest problem he had on offense was not knowing when to shoot. I don't think he'll have that problem with this team. He won't have to handle the ball and he won't have to create. I think the pressure of his previous role really messed with his head. He won't be asked to do near as much this time.
He doesn't have lateral quickness and he doesn't have hops. He does have strength, though. And he's pretty much built to guard a guy like Ron Artest.
At his best he'll knock down open 3's and compete on defense. At his worst he'll miss an open J, get taken off the dribble and wind up on the bench. It's not anything we haven't seen with George Hill.
All in all, I like the signing because Ime was always a standup guy and a very hard worker. The Spurs could do much, much worse.
And if nothing else, Ime will beat that ass.
Ime Udoka: Part Baller, Part Ninja
I can understand getting stuck with a washed up player but why actively sign a washed up player? I just don't understand. I know its for the 11th spot not 13th like others are saying as Anderson is injured and I would put him ahead of Quinn in the line up. Still, why sign a washed up player to it?
Well, we've (so far) have seen rejuvenation in RJ and Bonner, maybe Ime's got something he hasn't shown us.
Because with a former player they know what they'll be getting, and obviously that's what they want.
A solid outside shot? I just think you just got quoted saying the opposite a minute ago "scroll up" just saying .
I like the signing. He can deliver the occasional hard foul to any wing that is going off. Udoka, as an indivdual player, would not be that great. But, as a Spur, we get somebody who is knows the system and is not afraid to mix it up. He can hit the occasional three, but that is not why he was brought here. Physical play is his forte and he will only be used on an as needed basis. We already have enough offense for now and you just are not going to find anyone who can contribute come playoff time in the D-league.
Luckly this is not a team breaker or anything. It just seems like a waste. Things could be much worse I'm sure.
I was quoted as saying he was inconsistent from outside, which he is. I also said....when he has confidence and just let's it fly, he can be solid from outside.
You can't expect it all the time, and when he's unable to produce he'll find himself on the bench. In the past, he was being asked to guard the opposing teams best perimeter player and was on the floor during long stretches of poor production.
+1
Defenitely agree with you Jag, Ime's toughness will defenitely come in handy vs the lakers. Tbh, for that one matchup I'd rather have Ime than Anderson.
Nice story too btw. That is some funny wish I could have seen it.
Ahh I see, solid and inconsistent just mean two very different things to me. Sorry, it looks like I just lost you in translation.
When he's on, he's solid from deep. When he's not on, he'll lay bricks. That's what makes him inconsistent from 3. Ray Allen doesn't have to be "on" to knock down threes, he just has to be open. That's what makes him a consistent 3-point shooter.
Don't give up, you'll get.
ugh...the arm....
I'm a little bit nervous about this. Ime has been here before and he's a veteran, so chances are Pop will indeed play him which, in all frankness, shouldn't be the case.
we need to put him on a steroid regimine
you have to be kidding, Ime over Anderson? What juice have you been drinking? In the short glimpse of Anderson's career to date he is all over Ime. He is much quicker on D and his offensive game is 1000% better. The only thing Ime has going for him is his work ethic. To me, Ime has to be nothing more than a stop gap solution, Anderson needs to get the minutes when he returns. Anderson, like Dejuan, Hill and Splitter compliement this team perfectly right now and each has the promise of something more in the years to come. Ime is merely operating out of his suitcase day to day.
They didn't know what they had when they let him walk?
I don't think its the signing as much as the role he might or might not play on the team that has everyone upset. If he's the 13th man, or 10th while Anderson is out, than fine. The fear that Pop might again fall into old slow vet who supposed to play d but doesn't love, is legitimate.
