Thanks Gary Neal

[spurraider21]

He wanted Neal to be his Brent Barry. He pretty much was up until this year when he went cold. People here will think I'm nuts, but I still trust him as much as anybody to hit a big shot. Not to get a big stop though

Barry was a 6'7 guard who won a dunk contest and came from a championship pedigree. I really hope Pop wasn't hoping Neal would fit that role because then he needs to go to a hospital to get checked for mental health issues.

You just broke your cogent post cherry. Congratulations.

yeah, i forgot about all those huge slashes/dunks barry had for us. barry was a spot up shooter for us. in his san antonio seasons he usually averaged something like 5 field goals attempts per game, 4 of which were 3's. he would check in, spot up, and shoot 3's. he wasn't exactly a defensive presence at that age, either. Pop wants Neal to be that spark to come in and hit shots. i don't see why its such a farfetched comparison. unless you are comparing 1998 brent barry to neal as opposed the the barry we had from 05-08

didn't shannon brown bang pau's girl too?

edit: You've nary room. Shannon brown banged Pau's girl too.

[TheSkeptic]

You never gave him a chance. Poop ed around with him until he pissed him off.

Basically done the same thing with Splitter, cept he isn't black & inherently militant.

I'll take both Splits & your rapist and give you Pau Gasol.

That that downstairs please.

I understand that the team still has the #1 spot, but they've been floundering of late, Parker obviously isn't 100% and Ginobili is out again for an unknown amount of time. Timmy, Tiago and Kawhi are going to have to rampant it up another level if we want another shot at OKC and (hopefully) Miami.



I would normally agree with your take, but since when is passing the ball to Matt Bonner in the waning seconds of the game sound strategy? I'd rather live with Tony taking those shots, he is our best player, make or miss then have to rely on "Mr. Melts-Under-Pressure" Matt Bonner. This loss falls on the shoulders of everyone, but Gary Neal's selfish, inept decision-making sealed the team's fate, IMO.

This. We're in so much trouble if we're depending on Neal or Bonner to do anything to be honest. That bit of chucking has left a bitter taste in my mouth because for all the things that went wrong Gary was the one who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Friggin ridiculous. The frontcourt has been fabulous but in light of the alternative, they're going to have to shoulder more of the load. Anything Green does can be a bonus.

Is Gary Neal turning out to be the second coming of Roger Mason Jr?

Gary Neal is a product of the system, Pop loves undersized jokers who have low basketball IQ. He thinks of them as projects, things that he can occupy himself with while he sits with his arms folded thinking about cheese and wine.
