I watched the Heat gm an Currys defense sucks. He dont even try on a p&r.
I was just ing around but last year was far from an ass beating. Like Eddy Curry would have been the difference maker last year in the WCF
Some people are ridiculous. Go back and read the thread the day we sign Eddy Curry, everybody was ting all over him![]()

alot slower too.
No, Splitter hitting his free throws would have been the difference in that series.
Bonner will retire as a Spur.
It's disappointing. Curry looked better than I thought possible and is a real NBA player now that he's slimmed down. People make fun of Kwame Brown but Kwame has been in demand in his career and has made a nice living as a limited skills role playing bust. Curry could and should have a role in this league.
Not surprising though. Adding another big man who could play . . . it wouldn't be fair to Matt Bonner.
Still though, what's the ultimate result? With or without Curry, the Spurs are frauds compared to a healthy Lakers team and have too many choke-tastic players to even beat OKC.
Best the Spurs can do is make it to the WCF.
Bonner is due in the playoffs, he can't be bad in the playoffs 7 years in a row can he?
Spurs keep Powell so fans will hate his play more than turd towers.
Let's wait and see if anything else is on the radar. But if there's no other plan in place, yikes...I can't see a better 15th man than Curry.
What do you expect from a CIA op who supports a socialist....and Romney is no better.
TO .......... I hate that dude lol.YES he can........ He get scared the month before the playoffs infact, check the stats.
Great points. As a matter of fact, to say that Curry didn't measure up defensively, when you're keeping the likes of Bonner and Blair around is a bit laughable. There's no question that Curry had many warts, but his offensive prowess in the paint was truly something the Spurs have very little of.
Damn, here comes the 5 year Bonner extension....
While everyone is panicking, please realize that our bench regularly destroyed teams last year, as the Splitter-Bonner pairing is really good for bench players. They have weaknesses, but we're not getting perfect players for 4 million a year. To have a shot at a le, we probably have to make a move for a good defensive big(Varejao?), and doing that requires expiring contracts. If we ship out that big expiring contract, We'll have only Kawhi as a SF. Having someone here for the season learning the system seems like a good idea.
Can't figure it out either. I only saw 2 preseason games, but what was clear to me about Curry was that he was and still is a very gifted post scorer, despite his obvious other flaws. The way Curry was abusing Rockets starting center, Asik, was cruel. I'm not surprised Curry didn't make the cut, but it's a bit hypocritical of Pop to judge Curry on his flaws, when Blair and Bonner have seemingly some of those same flaws, with far worse offensive games. The fact that both Blair and Bonner cannot muster minutes in a key playoff series indicates that they are both simply eating up roster spots.
With a very stacked Western conference, that now features Dwight Howard and Javele McGee, the Spurs STILL have no answers for the Thunder and Fakers. They can only hope for 3rd - and in the end it will not matter anyway.
I see the following can happen:
Spurs keep Witherspoon as 15th man;
One of Bonner/Blair is shipped out with Jax for a big (like Varejao) at the deadline (which is when the Turd Towers' value is at a high)
the SF rotation becomes Leonard/'Spoon and since KL's young there's no reason to limit his minutes.
Of course Pop may vindicate all the GNSF logic and play Bonbon major minutes against OKC ITT![]()
I am going to wait before I go off on Pop and RC....but if this stand ..OMG....
The Spurs only play those two teams a combined total of 7 times before the playoffs. If anything it's the Spurs feasting on the bottom feeders and the Eastern Conference that will help them gain a seed that prevents them from facing either in the WCF.
The Spurs' roster is built to take on the regular season. Power rankings != season record.
^ and his legs are still a young 29 years old
Mother er this isn't about the regular season record and how many times we play the Lakers and Thunder during it. This is (or at least it should be) about winning a ing CHAMPIONSHIP. We already know Bonner is going to hit threes during the RS and people will act like giddy little children in the game threads when he hits 5 threes in a row and then they will tell themselves "This season is different! I love Bonner!"
Don't kid anyone by saying that we will be able to escape through the playoffs without facing one of those two teams.
And tell me why you want Tim to ring again. Is it to further cement his status as all-time great (no question about it). Is it to prove that the Spurs have a successful model for making small market teams a long-term contender?
Or is it also so that we can talk smack to the Kobe stans whose arguments inevitably end up with "COUNT DA RINGZZZZZ"?
Not like either Curry or Brown would have been a championship cornerstone.
Neither a cornergravel.

perhaps we have a different definition of mediocre...
People: Mediocre is going 41-41 and the 14th pick in the draft.
