Thx bro
rofl this dude has a certain stench about him now everytime he posts due to that thread. At least some of the other Bosh > Amare advocates didn't make themselves blacklisted due to being such gigantic dumbasses.
Ouch, Greg Oden smack. That hits deep.
Lol
its almost like im being hypnotized
Jason Terry has a giant head
He looks like Urkel
My god that's a big dome...lol that gif never gets old...just like the Bosh and Robin Lopez ones.
Cant wait the day when Terry is finally gone or nothing more than a minor bench role player.

Manu = Spurs post player
You really have gone Full Re .
"Knock one of my fellow new guys all you want but there's some truth to what he's saying. The Spurs aren't going to win it all unless they can manage to thrive with 2 bigs playing on the court - at the same time - for a significant amount of time or in certain matchups and situations.
They're still not equipped to defend good small-ball teams and the elites' big game is better than the Spurs. Where the Spurs do have an advantage, it's in what some would call fool's gold areas for playoff success."
"Ouch, that hurts"
Sincerely,
Jason Terry's headband
Have to agree here. Great post my
Yup. Full Re .
Why don't you quote something pertinent to the topic or what Midnight was actually talking about. Don't remember he or I stating the Spurs were going to win the championship or that Manu was their post game and that he would be enough for them to get it done.
Tim Duncan is still an elite post player. He's not the standard anymore. The Lakers can offset or nullify his effectiveness now because of their size, length and talent, and because the Spurs don't pound the ball into him against the Lakers. He barely touches the ball and it's usually for a jumper because the way the Spurs attack the Lakers now - Ginobili and Parker via pick and roll.
Ginobili and Parker's penetration gives the Spurs a lot of what a good post game gives you, a collapsing defense and open opportunities, but it's in addition to Duncan. You're just not too bright or able to speak in logical terms. It's my Lakers rule and your Spurs drool, poopy breath...
Kool and the Gang (of welchers).
This Jason Terry is really a sick burn since almost every Mav fan I know was wanting him to shut the up when he was talking this year, and most hate his guts in general due to his playoff failures. Maybe you can scoff some of Rick Carlisle's coaching moves and really teach us Dallas fans a thing or two we don't already complain about on the daily.
Between Gino's/Tony's penetration and elite Duncan why would the Spurs need to run another big in their system if they want to win like you claimed?
If you can't understand why, then you are one stupid mother er. Stupider than previously assumed, which is really saying something.

Worth repeating:
Let's start with the premise that you are coming from a Duncan taint licking POV, which forces you to make excuses for his inability to actually play the low post position. This puts you in face save mode and because you fancy yourself to be a wordsmith you think you can rationalize idiotic basketball fallacies.
What the are you talking about me "making excuses for Duncan's inability to play the low-post position?" Does your moron ass even read what you write?
First of all, Duncan is still able to play the low-post position, just not at a consistently elite level anymore. Furthermore, the Lakers interior defense is perfectly suited to shut down Duncan at this point in his career. , even at his peak, the combination of Bynum and Gasol would make him work for every point. Congratulations, you have a great frontline. That doesn't mean Duncan is unable to play the post, and it sure as doesn't lead to "me making excuses for his inability to play the post," whatever the that means. Lol.
Never stated that. I said they have similar effects, but also recognized they are not completely the same. And I do contend that a team with a great penetrator (or two) can win an NBA le if they're complemented by a defensive frontline, who can control the boards and defend the paint. It's not an absolutely essential need for a team to have a dominant low-post scorer to win an NBA championship. Bill Russell's Celtics kinda proved that theory by winning a few championships despite not having a consistent post-option to rely on. So did the repeat Pistons. As did the '04 Pistons. As did the '08 Celtics (and no, KG is not a great low-poster scorer). And I would like to see how much Jordan slashed/drove as compared to going to the post during his first 3 peat. During the second 3 peat, he definitely looked to post up his man more, but I suspect he slashed more than posted up during the early 90s. So, yeah, I guess I do believe that a very good/great penetration/perimeter game complemented by a very good/great defensive frontline can replace an interior post-game. Prove me wrong. My proof: Russell's Celtics, the repeat Pistons, the '04 Pistons, and the '08 Celtics.Does guard penetration have the ability to break down a defense and force reactions? Of course. But that was never the question. It was whether relying on this type of play can take the place of a low post game and it can't.
No, aside from specific plays called, Parker and Manu look to finish first at the rim and if the shot is not there, they'll kick it out.Spurs drive with the intention of kicking the ball out for a low percentage shot: the 3p ball, hence the 3p chucking label. You have a slew of 3p shooters camping out 23 feet and beyond for most of the game. Which is why the Spurs have one of the lowest points-in-the-paint totals in the league. These "high percentage shots" are a figment of your Duncan-loving imagination.
Their points in the paint total is soooooooo bad that it ranks 13th (not one of "the lowest points-in-the-paint totals in the league") in the league and is merely 2.5 points behind the Lakers. Like I've told your self-proclaimed "Basketball Guru" ass over and over again, the Spurs offense isn't their problem. It's the fact they will get killed on the boards against a team like LA, and because of Duncan's decline and the lack of a second defensive big, their interior defense is weak, and does indeed rank near the bottom of the list at number 20.
Glad you got a laugh. But you still don't know about basketball.Last night you guys even tried to chuck your way back into the game when you were down big in Miami. It was funny.

Yeah, and these "high percentage shot attempts are such a figment of my Duncan-loving imagination (seriously, where does this got come up with this stuff?)" that the Spurs rank in the top ten in 2pt field goal percentage, even higher than the Lakers. But that's more of an indictment of Kobe's chucking tendencies than it is of anything else.
Midnight just de-mounted you and re-stuffed you, poopy breath.
Neal with it...
