jeez
I don't care if West took 2 million to come here or not, he's clearly inferior, particularly on defense and the glass. Boban is too fun and too much energy. Plus he blocks shots and bats down passes with jumping. Play this guy!
Spurs have enough minutes to go around especially with Duncan taking some nights off. I think they can give him some rope and see what he does on the nights that Duncan rests. He's doing a good job tonight.
This sounds too sensible
We all love Boban but the staff have to worry about how much playing time they give him due to his unbelievably massive size, humans just aren't meant to be that big lol and injuries can pop up, gotta try keep his body healthy at the same time as giving him more time in the rotation. I love watching him play
Really was not disappointed at all when I saw that Timmy had the night off. Boban puts on a show.
Boban will slowly get more minutes... his offensive game is just ridiculous. His touch around the basket is incredible.
Big Boban even had a steal!
If D.West was European people would be screaming for him to go to the Toros.. This guy is terrible, all he does is bound the ball angrily remembering that he threw 10mil away in the garbage
Love Boban, but I'd rather go with West. He started off slow here but he's been nothing but a (+) in recent weeks.
Dude let millions off the table just to play for the Spurs.... Let D West have his 1 year
Still don't get why Boban couldn't play at least 7 minutes against Capela-Jones frontcourt...
Exactly. I really believe he could have contributed in that game.
All I know is he better play against them rockets next time.
He's shown enough already and deserves the playing time.
West is an enforcer those type of players always come in handy during the playoffs.
An "enforcer" doesn't just let his man waltz in for easy uncontested layups without putting up a fight. I don't care how many 12 footers West makes, he's a huge liability
-7
Dude has positive emotion but he's awfully short when trying to score inside in traffic, and he couldn't defend a pet rock.
Its the regular season who gives a . When the playoffs come he will come through when it matters. West will be needed when teams decided to play dirty and rough up Kawhi or other key spur players. He would have been useful last year against big baby when he was pushing around the spurs off the bench or when Matt Barnes through Baynes to the ground. West is also solid in the minutes he plays. I don't know what the your stupid ass expectations are for him.
He'd be useful against Big Baby, but little else on that Clippers squad. My expectations were a rich man's Malik Rose. He looks worse than 2005 Malik out there most of the time, particularly on the boards and hustle plays.
you stupid
How's Glen shooting inside 16ft this year?
Big Baby West can handle, but you're not going to convince me that Diaw + West is a good lineup when the other team has anyone in the game who's anywhere near 7 feet and a post or rebounding presence.
I disagree
Boban has yet to prove he can play against elite teams. Curry, Paul, Westbrook; they are gonna screen and go around him and make his life and the Spurs' a living . I'm all for Boban but let's not get carried away. Also, Pop won't play Dwest because he chose to go here for 2million, Pop won't play West out of respect, he'll play West as the 4th big against the big boys because he knows West can play against them. Boba, like Simmons, will really have a chance next year, when they already have a fruitful first year experience under their belts.
Pop already has a track record of playing guys because of respect over results. Don't forget that in Splitter's rookie year, well into it, that when Pop was asked why he wouldn't play splitter it was because it "wouldn't be fair" to the other bigs who had been there even though anyone could see that the other non-Duncan bigs were trash and wouldn't be able to cut it.
Sure enough after brutal performances in the first half of the series against Memphis, Pop finally realized that game mattered more, and he went to splitter. But it was too late, Splitter hadn't played with Duncan at all and had no chemistry sharing the court with him. Or gas for hard playoff games.
Maybe Pop has learned, but West sure does look bad to the eye way more than a player safe in the rotation should.
