Spurs @ Rockets - Dec 17 - Preseason Game Blog

[ElNono]

We'll see what Wednesday brings.. wonder if Pop is still going to sit TD, TP and Manu

[ElNono]

I would think they would want at least 10-15 mins for conditioning...

I think what it is, from both the team and the fans is there was no new life pumped into the team. They know they can't contend. They know they don't trust RJ. Yet, nothing was done and it's the same guys out there. It's like a sickness and I thought they would go a long way to cure that by cutting RJ (he's not the only issue), but they didn't. I'm afraid you will see quite a few games with low energy.

I sure in hope not man.

Is Humpries for Blair and Dice contract feasible? for some reason the Nets haven't signed him and seem to going after AK47.

I actually wasn't being sarcastic.

Who the are you? You've been talking a lot of . It's only the first game. I wouldn't judge the new guys on one game.

Guys like Blair, Splitter, Anderson, RJ you could look at a bit more, but you can't really draw conclusions after one game on the new guys. They might get better or they might get worse. Gotta give them a lot more evaluation.

How many practices has he had? How many turnovers? How many points did he give up? Exactly so you can SHUT THE UP TOO!!!. One game or 82 that doesn't matter cause he hadn't been with the team

[Giuseppe]

Prolly a lot of guys going 80% out there tbh, it's a preseason game, not wanting to get injured and . Nobody got injured, so that's at least one thing that we can all agree is good.

It's only one preseason game. Didn't you see Blair dominate last preseason only to stink it up to start the regular season?

So what happens if he stinks it up every other game? You going to tell yourself to shut the up?

this is definitely the case!!!.

He won't get that chance so that won't matter

[Bill_Brasky]

Except me. I don't agree.

Don't be a , Cub.

[Nathan89]

Except me. I don't agree.

Not cool...not cool...

[The_Worlds_finest]

@elnono, first serving of RJ crow; cold bitter with a foul smell. Hopefully the next serving is yours.

[DMC]

Except me. I don't agree.

You saw what happened to your boy's thread. Tread lightly here mister.

[DMC]

Was I the only one who had a problem with Manu being 2-10 in the first half?

It was pre-season, and just one game. But TJ Ford is not the hopeless scrub some people say.

I really think I would rather lose games with Kawhi Leonard in the game, than suffer through a whole season watching Jefferson's weak , and banging my head on the wall.

Bonner had 12 and 5 and was 50% from 3. What's everyone ing about? (That's sarcasm)

Hopefully this will be James Anderson's worst shooting night of the season. 1-9 overall, and 0-4 from the 3P line? Echhh

Maybe Blair needs ADD meds. He can't seem to maintain focus.

I certainly didn't have a problem with it. He's rusty. It's to be expected.

Manu isn't a question mark. He's a given. If he's not hurt, he's going to be great.

[DMC]

Agreed. This was one of my biggest issues with all of the young guys. They had some spurts of energy, but overall the energy level was pretty disappointing. Now, I don't know if that has to do with them being tired and out of shape, but I saw a lot of walking back on defense and laziness.

They looked a bit reserved, maybe they think their spot will be sooner earned by lack of mistakes/missed shots than by hustling and making a few mistakes.

They are wrong.

We need a couple more looks at them to be sure.

[Giuseppe]

You saw what happened to your boy's thread. Tread lightly here mister.

I erased it.

You guys are too sensitive.

[Tyrone Jenkins]

What happened to DeSean Butler - is he off the team (Toros)?

[DPG21920]

He was cut from the team.

[mystargtr34]

In regards to JA... when a guy goes 1-9 from the field and looks good.. then you know hes probably going to be ok.

Bonner, Blair and RJ combine for 30 points.. and they still look like garbage.

[cutewizard]

nice games from Splitter, Leonard, Anderson, TJ Ford and CJ

[cutewizard]

our weaknesses are RJ, Blair and Bonner

i think the Spurs should make a decision soon

[cutewizard]

lets see what we have here:

Starting Five:

Tiago and Duncan
Leonard
Parker and Manu/or Anderson

pretty good yes??

in a shortened season, i really wish Manu could be the NBA MVP, he deserves

not going to happen, but i really wish it did happen

[cutewizard]

Second team:

now here is the problem:

TJ Ford, Manu/Neal and Anderson/Leonard seems a pretty good second unit to me

but

where is our back up bi??


we really need a big now!!! as in now!!!

[cutewizard]

we really need a big right now....

why are the Spurs NOT stacking up??

are they just content with the current lineup???
