We should upgrade our back-up SF before 3rd string PG. Guys who is the 3rd PG of Lakers and Boston?
I am definitely Anti Anti Quinn...or sumpin like dat.
3rd string PG for 's sake!

hating on the last guard off the bench.
I don't get some of you.
It's not because you are the 3rd string PG that you have a free pass to be horrible. Having limited expectations is different than having no expectations. Back in November/December, Quinn played at a good level for a 3rd stringer. Right now, it isn't the case and there is nothing wrong at saying it.
1) was a pity. Kid can play. He proved that last year. Should have been given a longer leash.
2) is a bit of a fly in the ointment!
I'm pretty sure he was second to Lebron James for player of the year in high school, which would make him from Ohio.
Likewise, some people just don't know how to win.
are you seriously comparing garbage minutes to prime time minutes???
The whole reason for having a third string point guard is so you have a backup when someone gets hurt. Are you seriously not getting the point that he's regressed? He played garbage minutes the last two nights as well and didn't suddenly turn back into a decent player.
Meh... Notre Dame kid from Ohio, same difference. Midwest whiteboy. Tough, heady player whose skill level just isn't all that at the NBA level.
Smallball to Whiteball. Funny .
again, you are comparing his production in garbage time to prime time. You don't think there is a flaw there??
In this case, the le "Chris Quinn is Effing Terrible" says it all. No need for a thread.
I could have just said "+1". or "your mom is effing terrible".
Fact is, that is not a fact. Fact is, that is your opinion (one which I don't agree with).
You still don't get it.
No. Earlier in the year he was decent in any time he got. Now he stinks, even in garbage time. He's not as good as he was, which is even worse than if he were always bad.
You can increase Manu's workload and responsibilities without increasing his minutes. He doesn't need to be anymore responsible or involved now then how he was when Tony was healthy.
I get what you are saying just fine. Maybe you still don't get it.
You act like Neal or Hill never get screens in pick and roll opportunities. They do pretty frequently whether Tony or Manu is on the court. Especially after Tony or Manu are trapped or hedged pretty hard early in the shot clock.
You really are hilarious. And you still don't get it..tbh
You make it sound like I'm saying everytime down the court Manu's number should be called even after getting hedged and contested the initial PnR opportunity in the half-court set. That is not what I'm implying or saying, you still don't get it.
What I am saying is Manu getting more minutes at the slotted PG spot, to free up more minutes for Neal and Anderson. Of course in the duration of the game, Manu isn't going to be the only one with the ball working tirelessly the full 24 seconds on the shot clock. The game of basketball doesn't allow that to happen because the game is full of adjustments on both ends of the court, and those adjustments lead to other players having to make plays regardless of whose the first option (which Manu would be regardless of position SG or PG).
You really don't have a clue. Just because Manu would play more minutes at PG doesn't mean he's going 1 on 5 every time down the court(which is what you're implying by thinking Manu would have to work so much harder). The defensive adjustments which leads to offensive adjustments won't allow that to happen and never do, which makes others like Neal, Hill, TD, Blair, Bonner and even Jefferon make plays on occasion (some more than others).
Manu playing at the slotted PG spot would just free up more minutes for Neal and Anderson.
So long as it's within' reason, you play your best talent. It's not at all unreasonable to have Ginobili and Neal play backup PG in tandem, so as to allow for Anderson to be in the rotation, instead of Quinn. Anderson is bigger, more athletic, better defensively, as good, if not better a shooter and a better all around scorer. He's also someone who could be needed in the playoffs, but has limited experience. With Parker injured, the time is now to continue his indoctrination and continue to let him work his way back into game shape.
The thing is, I could halfway understand playing Quinn over Anderson if Quinn were actually running the team and relieving Ginobili of some of the ball handling/play making responsibilities when they're in together. But he's not. He's essentially playing SG on offense and he can't defend, so it's not like he's in for his defense.
The last two teams the Spurs need to play a second true PG against are the next two on their schedule, since they're both weak at PG. It's not like they'd have to worry about Neal getting burned by Chalmers/Bibby or Fisher/Blake off the dribble. He can easily defend them and inserting Anderson into the rotation will allow the Spurs to have more size and athleticism on the wings, which will allow them to better match up with the big, strong wings on the Heat and Lakers.
I'm not.
In December, he played "prime time minutes" when Hill was out and he did a way better job than now.
So can we cut him and sign Arroyo or WTF? I havent paid much attention to where Carlos will end up but if he could run Jerry Sloans team, surely he can at least play spot duty over the next 2-4 weeks.
Another one who gets it.
Antonio Daniels
Jim's restaurant may agree, but I certainly don't.
