Which gives the Spurs time to make the closing argument.

Buyout Watch Thread, watch others sign somewhere and move on to the real part of the regular season now and get healthy!!!!!!!!! Thats about IT and we all know it. GO SPURS GO! Chemistry.

Did you take the test at all? I have. It's literally just memorizing. There's nothing intuitive about it. You memorize words and algorithms. That's it.

And it was even easier 14 years ago when Granger was in high school. And the ACT is even easier than the SAT.

Of course I did. I took it just a couple of years ago, and I can tell you that today's SAT isn't nearly as simple as you make it out to be. And there's a plethora of literature that states outright that the SAT is a close-cousin of the IQ test. The guy who developed it was one of the original developers of the IQ test for the US Military, for Pete's sake.

College Board itself has attested to that.

I took it in 2007. I doubt it's gotten that much harder. And I don't particularly think military tests are a good measurement of IQ. The SAT was incredibly easy, and even if having a high IQ makes it easier, I knew a bunch of low-IQ folks who did just fine by going to prep classes and by buying books on the matter. If a 2000 makes a person gift, society's standards have plummeted.

i took the SAT in 2008 and its nothing to write home about

Again, the guy plays basketball for a living. 2000 may not be high for you or me, but when you consider that the NBA is filled with high school dropouts and people who didn't finish college, then it's a fantastic score.

For comparison's sake, Derrick Rose cheated on his SAT's because he couldn't score high enough to get into college. Jason Kidd, who is currently a head coach (a job that requires plenty of cognitive ability), had to take the SAT's four times just so he could get into UC Berkeley. You know what he scored the first time he took it? 480 / 1600.

I could understand Granger picking the Thunder or Rockets over us. He is an idiot if he picks the clippers. They still have horrible owner/front office. Half of their team are people who they picked up along the season. Bledsoe thrived being out of there. They got bounced in the POs by a team we swept. We hang championships/division les they hang up pictures of themselves.

[Mal]

Why Spurs cant offer him minutes ? If he does not suck of course. Pop loves smallball. Spurs could play with 2 C's one PF/C two SF/PF two SG/SF. It all can work.

Beno claimed by the Grizz. Thank God.

Shaq recently confirmed that players around the league would love to play for Pop but that San Antonio isn't a city that draws their attention in terms of living the nightlife. Say what you want about Shaq but that dude is still in touch with the players in the league.

Spurs should move to Austin, tbh.

[spurspokesman]

It would be good if Spurs are given the chance to make their push last.

My thoughts exactly. Save the best for last

[Obstructed_View]

Big baby must be pissed.

[jermaine]

Colin Cowherd just said Granger to the Clips.

[look_at_g_shred]

lol Clips. All these players for a 2nd round exit.

[bklynspursfan]

Colin Cowherd just said Granger to the Clips.

That guys a tool... Plus, Granger hasn't even cleared waivers.

[apalisoc_9]

metta!!!

[jermaine]

I'd love MWP. Him playing LaBron after Kawhi has played him. I'll take that any day.

[UZER]

Colin Cowherd just said Granger to the Clips.

Coward. Dude is an arrogant ass that just spouts ESPNs company line. Those radio guys don't even think for themselves anymore. Its pathetic.

I gave up on national sports talk radio awhile back.

[Prime Time]

Has Metta ever been crazy in the locker-room? I know he's bat insane on the court, But does he have reputation of pissing off his coaches/teammates?

No, all I've ever heard is of him being a great teammate actually.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 3h
Oklahoma City and Miami have emerged as frontrunners to sign Caron Butler, with Chicago and San Antonio in pursuit too, sources tell Yahoo.

[look_at_g_shred]

Spurs didn't learn the first time? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[look_at_g_shred]
