He's playing better defense, not sliding in late and blocking more shots.
Jack was crazy hot. You can't let a guy like him get that confident... I was actually a bit disappointed with Green during that stretch... I was hoping he would work a bit better the screens... but props to Jack, he also hit some really tough shots
He's playing better defense, not sliding in late and blocking more shots.
Not defending Green, but Jack has always been a good scorer at the pg position.
Yeah Green and a few others definitely need to work on being more effective at crowding jump shooters with discipline.
As you alluded to, Green and the other wings can't get caught up in screens that leave adequate space for the jumper (especially if the jump-shooter gets going; like Jack tonight).
Agreed. Jack has some deficiencies, but he can fill it up like that on occasion.
Good observation.
I think he has decided to Amercanized his game. Less flopping and more shotblocking. I like the decision.
He's got decent athletic ability. But the fact that he's not a freakish athlete had nothing to do with why the Spurs were able to draft him at 28. The only reason he was still available is because most teams weren't/aren't willing to wait a couple of years for a player to come over. Everyone knew Splitter was easily deserving of a lottery pick though, that's why he was listed as one in every mock draft for 3 or 4 straight drafts.
I haven't seen as many guys challenging Splitter in the paint. Teams scout him now, and they probably say "He's good at drawing charges, watch out."
ya if memory serves even you were surprised by his newfound ability to block shots.
That being said, he should have had 1-3 blocked shots tonight, that I just don't understand how he got scored on.
Carl Landry scoring in the low post over Splitter means he still has much more to learn, from a purely physical standpoint, that should not have happened so easily.
Also, seriously, Splitter just keeping his hands up in all situations would have to make us a better defensive FG% team.. In the 2nd quater He waited until Kaman to get hot to start raising his hands and challenging Kaman's jump shot, by then Kaman was in the zone.
ditto. Time to play big if you're a 7 footer
I do. You don't want teams starting a game knocking shots down in the paint.
There are a lot of Spurs who could benefit from having their hands in the air (I'm talking to you, Cowhigh). Bruce Bowen didn't care if it looked uncool, he had his hands up.
Amended.
Been well, no real complaints. Well, other than not bein able to keep up with my Spurs.
Keep on Chumpdumperin my man.
Not like this, Jack
Yes, like this.
He's MY Nancy. He makes me smile.
Sorry but almost sounded as if nba was tough and physical these days...
Blackjack is back! How goes it brother? I hope you're good
'Preciate it my man. Don't know if I'm "back" just yet but I do miss this place and writin. Life has a funny way of gettin in the way.Blackjack is back! How goes it brother? I hope you're good
Adorable.
Just have my money ready when I roll up to the corner, ho.
Don't worry, Nancy. You'll get your 10%.
Jack always takes care of his girls - but still amazed I make any money off you, tbh.
Sucks he's already 27.
Which makes it even more re ed that Pop isn't giving him quality minutes. He plays Splitter like he's some twenty year old kid right out of college when he's been playing pro-ball for quite a while.
Rofl. I owned you before and though I'd forgotten, u still mad so clearly I still do.
Less talking more street walking.
