Kawhi is primed brah..
They're forxed feeding Aldridge but that's not keeping him down and he's attacking..HNNNNG.
I'm pretty sure by the time the real season (the postseason) rolls around, you'll see very few minutes without either Kawhi or Green. Same goes for Duncan and Aldridge, though Diaw/West is a viable option against weaker offensive lineups.

Usual Spurs were good, but the scrubs were horrible, even for free throws.
In three months you've posted almost 500 times. Time to get a job, deadbeat.
Mostly im game threads blowhard. It's a luxury to not being a career security guard.
Diaw would definitely have help the 3rd stringer w/ the ball movement & could get Boban an easy basket or two. Once he comes back maybe Pop could give him Reggie/DeShaun's minutes & throw him out there w/ the 3rd stringers.
Boban (Rim protector)
Diaw (Playmaker)
Butler (Sniper)
Simmons (Slasher)
Ray (Ball handler)

So the games been over for a few hours now, has Reggie been cut yet?
That's how I felt too. He was just a guy who wasn't keeping up. The box score says he had three offensive rebounds, which is nice, but it doesn't tell the story of how many rebounds he got out worked for. He didn't box out well, and he appears to have bad hands - lots of boards came near him, and just bounced off his fingers. I know it's early, but in these two games he hasn't displayed a single useful skill: he's slow footed, usually out of place on defense, soft at the rim, a weak rebounder, and he just looks very hesitant.
Unfortunately Boban's not looking anywhere near as good as he did in those highlight videos. It's still early though and they are highlight videos which usually only show the good plays, so hopefully he can adjust to the NBA and show that his game can translate here. Right now though, he's just not looking too good at all. Let's go Boban!
But uber athletic teams have always been a fear for us, tbh. And we seem a bit more athletic now than in recent years with some of our additions. I agree with you,overall, though.
Hope rim protection doesn't become an issue against them. It's just a preseason game but even Dragic, who isn't young or athletic, could penetrate and get to the rim tonight.
Ever heard of rim protection? (The same thing that got Hibbert paid)
-Hibbert made a living by just playing big & protecting the rim while possessing the same foot-speed as Boban. As far as his offense, the guy was in a boot for a couple of weeks b/c of a foot injury & is having to learn/adjust to a new system/league/teammates while shaking off the rust going up against NBA players. He's awkward to begin with so it's not that surprising he has looked terrible considering his cir stance. He can't be worse than Asik once he settles down.
LoL, Dragic is one of the best guards at getting to the rim. Dude is at the peak of his prime so I don't know what you're talking about.
Boban is fine defensively. He obviously needs to work on boxing out, but that's something that can be fixed in a few weeks or so.
I was actually thinking from an X and O standpoint, he won't be just another bench warmer..He does fill a need.
His problem offensively right now is that he's so slow with the ball...
The team had 7 blocked shots and 6 from the players that will make the opening day roster. None of those blocks were from TD or LMA, who will be among the team leaders in that category. Dragic is also great at getting to the rim and has historically had great games against us. We should be ok in that sense.
He wasn't looking that good before and after the trade last year, I think he's past his physical prime, that's why I said he isn't young or athletic.
- Starting unit is good.. Danny Green has lost his 3pt shooting though, almost all his pts were from the paint (still dribble and drives awkwardly)
- 2nd unit is slow. Teams that run and drive will eat this slow ass bench (I thought KA and Bobisaur's gonna beast but apparently they can't keep up)
- This team is a jump shooting team now. Expect some self-inflicted pain when jump shots / 3pters dont fall.
It was because they took the ball out of his hands: Bledsoe/Isaiah/Wade. He is also at the peak of his physical prime as he is as strong as ever & doesn't have that much mileage on his tires either. Nash was a year older w/ more mileage when he signed w/ the Suns.
So I cant believe i'm about to say this, it hurts....but....
Boban MIGHT have hands almost on par with Ayres by the looks of things early on.
Ouch.
Sorry Boban
Aggressive and making plays for his teammates as well. So good the pick and pop with LMA and this play...
what surprised me is that Boban did not look exhausted out there although he played a long stretch of minutes ... but he really needs to jump for rebounds a little ... NBA players are just too athletic
He'll need to make adjustments. Splitter was an MVP in his league and didn't do much in his first year. Boban hopefully is a quick learner.
Splitter is NBA starter caliber when healthy ... comparing these two might be a stretch. Splitter was injured in his first Training Camp which set the tone for his rookie season. Boban is our fifth big (Bonner?). He will be used so Pop can give TD, LMA, Bobo and West the occasional rest, but thats it. I really wish Boban would be more valuable, but I doubt it.
