Is David West press conference worthy like LMA was?

[JeffDuncan]

Thought I'd mention "for the record" that the David West signing was made official on July 17.

David West: You're Fired!

David West: You're Fired!

Boban is better defensively but West has the experience

No

[cd98]

Boban is better defensively but West has the experience

This is a joke, right?

[FkLA]

DWest has been playing good ball. Not sure why he would be fired.

Fails

[UNT Eagles 2016]

This is a joke, right?

huh? joke? West is awful on defense but you know West is getting the minutes due to experience and such.

[Mr. Body]

David West pivotal against the Cavs tonight. Give him the game ball.

[silverblackfan]

D West was that constant that the team needed, especially in the 3rd quarter. Tough defense and solid offense. Best of all, he wanted to win. We needed that junk yard dog since Porter left.

[BanditHiro]

he loves playing against LeBron teams

[TheGreatYacht]

Pounding the

[dabom]

I said to give this guy time because he is a good vet. People jumping off the ship scared after a first couple games.

[Kawhitstorm]

West wasn't going to lose to LeBron

I have to wonder if some of you ever watched David West play before. Or if you saw him at all last season?

West is one of those guys you hate if he's on an opposing team, and (should) love if he's on yours. He's tough, and he plays physical. Not dirty, but hard. He's the closest thing to Mario Elie toughness I remember being in a Spurs jersey since Mario Elie.

The comments about him not playing defense sort of made me smile. People forget the troubles he's given the Spurs on that end in the past. This whole thread reminds me of the year everyone said that Derek Fisher was done, and that he couldn't play ANY defense - and then he came out and just kicked the Spurs' asses with his defense.

Don't base too much on what happened on that damaged Pacers team the last couple of years. West has a lot of gas in the tank, and he'll be one of the players getting minutes in the playoffs. He started all of the 66 games he played in last season, averaged about 29 minutes, and still put up respectable numbers on a team that just didn't play together as a unit. There's absolutely no reason for all the speculation that he's worn out. He isn't. New players always need some time to find their way on the Spurs. Unlike guys like Hedo Turkoglu, I believe West will fully fit in by mid-season at least.

He're gonna need him in the Finals against the Cavs for sure.

[nowitzkikopf]

he's going to be huge against us too- i was honestly more pissed you guys got him vs. LMA

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Played well tonight!
