Surely it couldn't be that they just wanted him on the team and he wanted to play for them.
Neal and Mills will probably get plenty of minutes. I want to see De Colo playing some minutes as well, even if it's just garbage time.

Wow. Pretending? Really? It's a valid perspective based on some level of past precedence. Ex. The most recent game against Washington.
Well, that goes without saying. But even with that, it was still surprising to see them pay an unproven player $1.4M to seemingly be inactive. That's not only not Spurs like, it's not anyone like.Surely it couldn't be that they just wanted him on the team and he wanted to play for them.
Solid D, they're giving Jackson the nod based on name recognition. Big deal if, in one game, he was the sixth man. Splitter was the first big off the bench in the season opener last season and I don't think I need to tell you how that turned out.
At this point, Pop could do just about anything with the guards rotation.
lol seemingly
yes I watch him play
that is why his $$$$ his way out of line
dude is useless except for maybe 12 minutes a game
Ex.#2 the last game of the season versus OKC. Green, out of starting lineup and Manu starting. Jack was 6th man..1st man off the bench, subbing in for Manu halfway through the 1st (normal subbing pattern time wise).
Since when does name recognition mean anything to Pop? I'm not trying to make a point other than to help you remember that Jack was and can easily be a 6th man. He's one of the most versatile (2,3 & 4), savvy and tough-minded players the Spurs have.

Coasting. Non-Issue.
Yeah, because Jackson was shooting out of his mind in that series and because he was a good fit match-up wise against the Thunder. He may be first off the bench, but you watch, both in minutes and in virtually every sense of the role, Neal will be the sixth man.
I'm talking about the media and I'm not saying that Jackson can't be a sixth man, I'm just saying, he won't be.
non issue just needs to be ready for the playoffs.
Ex. #3
Stephen Jackson was 4th in MPG in the regular season after he was traded to the Spurs last season. Jack averaged more than Manu (5), Danny (6) or Gary (7). In the 14 playoff games, Jack was 6th in MPG, behind Tony, Tim, Manu, Kawhi and Boris.
Look, I'm just trying to encourage you to stop and think from now on before you fire off your reactions and predictions. When you say something like:

...you should stop and think first. Think it through brother. It's just an exhort for your betterment as a fellow Spurs fan.

TD 21 getting his pants pulled down for trying to pass off his bads for goods yet again.

Ginobili’s teammates don’t seem all that concerned the 35-year-old guard will be out for a significant length of time. “I think it’s more precautionary,” Parker said. “I think he’ll play tomorrow. I’m not really worried.”
Good news there.
Hopefully Manu missing the season opener is just to keep him off the plane. Plane seats (even the luxury one's on their jet) aren't great for a sore back. By keeping him in S.A., he won't have to travel for another week.
He was out of shape when he got to the Spurs, so they were trying to have him play his way into shape before the playoffs. Also, Leonard was in the midst of breaking out around the time Jackson was acquired, but hadn't fully established himself as a player deserving of 30+ mpg.
In the playoffs, they needed his size to defend Millsap when the Jazz went big and he was always going to be a good fit against the Thunder, even before he proceeded to shoot out of his mind from three.
I'm not saying it's irrespective of match-up, but generally, if Ginobili is out for an extended stretch, expect to see more Neal than Jackson and Neal more featured in the offense.
TD 21, I really don't have a problem with you personally. There are thousands of personalities on this board. Quite honestly, I look forward to seeing some very good posts from you in the future.
you established posters have always had it out for me
...and who is the first player off the bench? Solid D right about det Jack.
The obsession continues.
The reality is, you and all the other brown nosers didn't like me from the jump. This isn't some woe is me trip, because I couldn't care less; I'm just calling a spade a spade.
Solid D, don't try to soften the blow. Either I'm irrational and uninformed or I know my stuff; you can't have it both ways.
It's less about obsession and more about you being easy to laugh at. No one liked you because the second anyone disagreed with you you'd get all defensive and whiny like a 13 yr old girl that didn't get asked to the middle school dance. Not much has changed tbh.
It's possible to care a whole lot less than you do.
Says the fat hick, with a serious anger problem, who acts like a teenager even though he's well into his 30's. Yeah, nothing to possibly laugh at there.
No one? You mean, the brown nosers? Solid D, ChumpDumper and people of their ilk, don't account for everyone.
I don't get whiny or defensive, you idiots do. I can't tell you how many times me and 'tres or whoever would be in the midst of a friendly disagreement and the angry mob would come flying to the rescue. This is the most sensitive board I've ever seen.
For the record, Pop played Splitter in Bonner's minutes opening night last season, but who ended up being the third big again? If Ginobili were to miss 15-20 games, you'd see, Neal would become the sixth man. This was a one-off.
