he's been bad on defense... but he already scored more in 5 mins than ginger did all preseason, tbh
guy looks like complete out there.
Guys are ridiculous.

Replacing one turd with another wouldn't accomplish anything. People freaking out over releasing this guy is comical. Dude is fat and slow. If the Spurs are going to realistically improve the front court it's going to take some effort. Nobody on the waiver wire is going to do it.
Say what you want you want but he got Dwight 2 fouls in the first quarter.
He got 1 on him. Dwight got called for puttin his hand on Collisons back on one of those.
I have a feeling Dwight is going to be n a lot of foul trouble this season with Nash guarding PGs on the perimeter.
Well, it would accomplish going away from a known turd. Not that it matters anyways, since Ginger is still the centerpiece.
The more I watch curry play the more I understand why he's with the mavs and not us. Yea I would take him over bonner but he's just not the answer to our problem. He's terrible on defense barely runs back on plays.
This should end the delusion that Curry would "knock some skulls around" if he was on the Spurs.
Spurs fail
Curry is ABUSING Gasol right now. He is going no mercy on him lol.
He is still looking better than most of our "bigs"
Spurs
He looks good here in the 3rd for a short stretch. Still can't believe FO decided to let him go and rely on the two pussies and whatablair.

this jesus hes looks like an allstar tonight compared to bonner/blair
I would give him PT if Matt Bonner wasn't already eating up 8 mil over this and next year
He looked like typical Eddy Curry, tbh..
His defense was horrible, lack of conditioning, but his offense looked pretty good for a guy that just joined their team a week ago..
I still would have taken the risk that he can contribute if he gets into game shape, especially considering Splitter will inevitably suffer an injury at some point..
There was no risk. I had no delusions about him or the role he'd have played. I wanted him for when they're in the midst of 4-in-5 on the West/East coast and either Splitter is injured or they want to give Duncan a night off. It would have been nice to at least have the option of throwing him at a Cousins or a Bynum for 15 minutes, as opposed to having Blair defend them.
As an aside, I'm surprised Johnson cleared waivers (I'm actually not 100% that it's official, but I think it is). The Spurs should sign him. Long, athletic, mobile, shot blocking four, with a decent mid range jumper and by all accounts, a character guy. Plus, he can be sent to the D-League.
Basically Bonner and Splitter on steroids
a legit big playing avg defense is still better then a undersized playin any form of defense
This isn't the 80's and 90's. Very few plodding bigs are successful. If the Laker's would have put Curry in pnr sets against Nash with Gasol/Howard he would have raped him all day long. Instead they let Curry stay closer to the rim where he's less of a liability.
Situational adjustments is obviously one of Brown's strong suits.
Curry's defense and Carter's offense were neck-and-neck most of the game for "worst thing on the floor", but Carter's jumpers stopped clanging in the fourth quarter, and Lakers' offense took the lead.
If you're referring to Curry, then clearly you didn't watch the game, because his defense was way below average. That may have been the worst pick and roll defense I've ever seen.
I would rather have Chuck Hayes than Curry defending pretty much anyone.
I worried that I was just a homer suffering from sour grapes in watching Curry. He was really that bad, wasn't he?
