I said this earlier. The Spurs have been spoiled by sure-handed bigs. The passes the guards make to the bigs are abnormal.

After struggles catching the ball this season, Jeff Ayres says he's been practicing with tennis balls thrown by Spurs' strength coach.

Ayres: "It's pretty hard to catch a tennis ball, but it's pretty close to catching a pass from Manu."

Ayres joked he never knew hands were so bad before joining Spurs: "I never had to worry about anybody passing me the ball in my NBA career.

Glad to see improvement. At least he's trying.
He has the right at ude and can poke fun of himself.. Just needs to keep improving but it's showing and it's paying off.
Ok, ok we will stick with that. BUT......I'm going to keep "AYRWOLF" Jeff Ayres for some time in the future. Even has a theme song!! Not even Black Mamba has that.He's got one already: Jeff Errors.
At least he knows why now.
I told y'all he's gonna be good. I've been a fan since page 1 of this thread. Get in!
I'll give this to Errors: when he does manage to get a grip on the ball, at least he doesn't go up weak with it.
I know he's blown quite a few dunks, but that's because he is always trying to take it right to the rim. I'd rather he have that mentality over Splitter's pussy-handed baby hooks.
Looking forward to seeing a few more of these, tbh:
Looking solid lately.
Lol, just what I was gonna say.He's got one already: Jeff Errors.
The thing about Errors...if he improves just a bit, he will be a very good bench big. He goes to the rim with authority. His Defense needs work, too many times last night he was happy to let Utah go right by him to the rim. It seems as if he doesn't know how to get in front of a player and take a charge, or get positioning to play some D. Pop is the right coach for the job, though I'm not sure how much upside Errors has in that capacity. A jump shot would be huge as well. Though I realize this is asking quite a lot from a limited big. If he did all that he would be a of a player in general.
An interesting tidbit from 48MOH:
http://www.48minutesof .com/jeff-...unks-spurs-nbaNot only has it been a while since the Spurs featured an above-the-rim athlete of any kind, but they’ve long lacked a frontcourt player who can defend the pick-and-roll and range out to the stretch ‘fours’ that litter the NBA landscape. Ayres allows just .81 points per possession on 38.5 percent shooting to roll men that finish the play, which is 25th best in the NBA in that category, according to mySynergySports.
Ayers looked like against Portland.
12 points 4 rebounds, 2 paint finishes that were NOT dunks, one left handed, and a JUMPER.
I think Ayres is becoming good.
But , he is Jeff Errors.

I wanted to give him the nickname Ayrebourne but then he missed 4 dunks.

Ayres has physical strength .
But , Ayres has no brains .
Why he can not defense .
Well he knows the system that's the only thing he's got going. Probably slow to pick up
Likes to watch people rebound...
Uh huh!!
Does this get bumped any time he has a nice dunk?
He was awful once again.
