Fairly annoyed that the Spurs couldn't turn Blair/Neal into something more valuable. It's not like they even gained cap-space to sign another player. I guess there is still time, but those are fairly decent assets to just let walk.
He also essentially let Chalmers walk into that 3 at the buzzer to end 3rd quarter that put the Heat up 1 instead of down 2 heading into 4th quarter...

When are spur fans not annoyed with something? Just chalk up something else to complain about..
I'm sure that is the case. Obviously if they were offering something the Spurs wanted, a sign and trade would have happened. Just saying that a lot of these teams, like Miami, probably aren't a candidate for Neal given that they are well over the luxury tax and he's unlikely to sign for the minimum. That said, not many people can afford more than that.
And if he just stands in front of him, Chalmers misses, spurs up 2 and Duncan is going for a lead when he missed instead of a tie.
ugh, it still hurts
but anyways, I will miss Neal. I loved that he always showed no fear in shooting the ball. The moment was never too big for him. Though he had his defects, he was all we could have asked for, especially for that salary.
Ugh...just when I had almost erased that play from memory. Who am I kidding, 2013 will forever haunt Spurs fans![]()
So why is all this talking going on? Everything is clear as water. The FO was not interested in the proposals (if you're one of them folks that has blind faith in the FO) for Neal or the FO has failed in their S&T negotiations with Blair & Neal. However one wants to view things, it's time to move on. No need to speculate on what should of or would of happened. To the next subject.
I think it means that Thomas may be given a shot to make the roster because of his shooting in the SL. I thought he'd be shipped overseas.
Yeah that was bad. It basically killed all of the momentum they had ending the 3rd quarter.
^I wish Pop would of had that reaction on Manu for every turnover in Game 6.
I'll miss Bill Land and his "Towson Triple" tbh
What player gave us bigger shots on that kinda salary???
NONE and for that Neal will always be a fave Spur of mine,Neal was the ultimate underdog
Damn we just lost possibly the BEST pure shooter on the team
Pop to neal- really?! Lol
I like Neal as well but he will always be a situational player because he can't play defense.
Part of the reason our rotations have shortened the past 2 years in the WCF and Finals is because of too many situational players. We need more players that can play both sides of the court.
Unsure if Belinelli and our other acquisitions can be more than that, but we needed a change.
With horrible shot selection at times and his bad D on the other side which evened out his shooting.
i like this news. let neal get his payday. please dump the turd towers too. no more defensive liability guys!
i will say neal was my favorite defender. unlike blair, it doesn't matter that he can't block or out-rebound his man. and unlike bonner, neal made em' when they mattered.
but "in the end..." the 3's you make, ain't equal to the defensive ... you take.
Yeah I'm finding it just a tad easier if I accept it for what it is and focus on the upcoming season. Woulda coulda shoulda.
Yup its like a bad breakup you go over all the things you coulda changed but in the end the is gone .gotta move on
LOL! You guys expect everyone to be a damn lock down defender
TP and Manu were awful on defense this year along w/ Blair,Mills etc
Neals gonna get paid and its too bad it wasn't the Spurs cause this team has some shaky shooting
And fer chrissakes Bonner is still here...
Going to miss Gary on the fastbreak, he was a good pull up shooter from mid range. Now we may see more passes going to Danny Green on the break... Danny Green layups
![]()
For all the hate for Gary, im sad to see him go. He could shoot and was fearless no matter if he was 0-6 or 6-6. Good luck...
I sorta wish pattty opted out and we kept Neal for the QO
I love Gary and all and I'm not trashing him when I say this, but I'm glad he's gone. His time was wearing out here quick. He had a horrible season.
Looks like Blair's the lone hope for a S&T
