Big Men

[Chinook]

I'm just shocked that people keep trying pitch Plumlee as the second big by saying things like, "He can give you 20 minutes a game." The second big better be able to give 36 minutes. We're talking about a starter, for goodness' sake, not an eight man.

Ha ha ha ha!

give me a break not even kawhi or LMA play 36 minutes a night. Talk about overstating and making up again.

and this from the guy who is advocating LJC to come over and be a rotation guy! Ha ha ha!

you really are slipping as a poster here. Becoming ignorant.

[palangi]

lol thinking trash heap centers are going to do . did Boban your mom or something op? none of the players you mentioned are going to be worth crap in the future. spurs are better off drafting or trying to sign a C in the market than bringing in dleague and Euro scrubs

Did Boban you in your ass and make you his little ?

unfortunately those dleague and euro scrubs are our draft choices or the one has been in our system.

Seriously, the need to be right here makes a bunch of you STUPID! Think before you rant! ing idiot.

[palangi]

LOL...by the end of the first sentence of the OP, it was already into the third trimester. I'm thinking of the epic meltdown on ST on opening night. "Ladies and gentlemen... your SAN ANTONIO SPUUURRSS!!! Starting at Center, Miles Plumlee!!!"

It would almost be worth it, as a joke, just to watch the forum explode. (Better than the time Pop intentionally fouled Shaq 4 seconds into the season.) This place would go absolutely ape- crazy. , they were ing about having LMA at the 4 for the first 20 games or so.

Miles Plumlee. We'll nickname him "The Solution". All the worries about Duncan retiring just evaporated.

Oh how cute poop is still trying to talk! I know you keep typing but all we see is !

He's the ignorant one? You do realize Chinook is talking about playoff minutes (the only ones that matter) and not regular season. Lamarcus and Kawhi both averaged in excess of 36 minutes in the Thunder series ... game 1 excluded because of the score, and Kawhi was in foul trouble in Game 2.

Most of these high energy / low skilled bigs can only play limited spurts because of foul trouble or the amount of energy exerted. It's going to be tough to find a big to play that level of minutes, but Spurs shouldn't be targeting a bunch of 20 minute a game types that aren't playable in the playoffs because of major deficiencies.

He never said anything about playoffs. So don't words in his mouth. He only said he has to play 36 minutes. And steven adams seemed to play big minutes in the playoffs? He is a high energy big that is developing.

So I stand by my statement to chinook. even if you just gave him an out from his ignorant comment.

Lol, thanks. But palangi has been on ignore for some time. I was getting ready to take him off the list when he seemed okay in our Ndoye discussions, but he's back to spiraling about silly .

To clarify, I said they'd have to get a guy who is able to play 36 minutes. By that I meant that they need guys who can be relied on to put in the time in big games. That's certainly closer to what you thought than what Palangi thought. But I wasn't thinking in terms of straight MPG anyway.

However, I do think the average MPG for the starter is about to increase significantly. As the Spurs get rid of their older players, their younger guys will play more. The team has had unreal depth for so long that people are taking the the current minutes distribution for granted. I expect the 2017 Spurs to have an allocation closer to than of the 2014 Blazers rather than of the 2014 Spurs.

Hey I with you on upping the minutes of some of our younger players. Kawhi should be playing more than 30 minutes a game. He should be averaging that 36 you stated. LMA should have been around 35. I hope you are right about minutes going up for some of these guys.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The palangi account got shrill rather quickly.

[GSH]

I know you keep typing but all we see is !

That happens when you have your head up your ass.

[GSH]

I'm just shocked that people keep trying pitch Plumlee as the second

Oh, no, it's worse than that. Jimmer says the Spurs need to go get Plumlee to be the STARTER!! Not even Mason... Miles ing Plumlee. The starter at C next season, backed up by Milutinov and Ndoye.

Let Anderson develop as the backup point/power forward. Much like Diaw. He can play there in the small ball lineups. Go get Plumlee to be the starter. A very good rebounder and defender. Very similar to Adams.

C- Plumlee, Milutinov, Ndoye

Even among the usual stupid on here, that's outstanding.

again all i see is . do you have nothing intelligent to say.

[gambit1990]

i liked plumlee in his phoenix days... haven't seen much of him since... he's put on weight, yeah?

would much rather have:

I wouldn't mind robinson. I just now Plumlee brings a little more size and rim protection.

But robinson would bring a nasty we need.

stop picking on me


getting on in your own thread by everyone

[Nathan89]

This take made sense a couple of years ago but Kawhi handles the ball on pnr regularly now. You should pay attention to the game as well as his turnover rate which will continue to improve and isn't bad to begin with.

Kawhi's ball handling isn't nearly enough. Ideally you need 4 ball handlers on the court. We already have Green and LMA who can't ball handle. You can get away with less if you have a freak like Westbrook but we don't.

[GSH]

again all i see is .

Palangi: Again all I see is

There is no reason to play a big next to LMA in this league. Ibaka and Green are the pfs of the two best teams in the West. Love unable to post up the Barnes of the world with much success.

Next year our best 5 man lineup needs to be as small ball lineup and it can't include TP or Patty. If we can't accomplish that then we'll be second round fodder at best.

[stxspurs]

can he still come and save us??

Yeah by the handicap crew!

[HarlemHeat37]

Are we talking about Plumlee the bench warmer that can't get minutes on bottom feeder teams? Or somehow acquiring Mason Plumlee?

[palangi]

Benchwarmer?

Hes average 18 minutes a game for his career. In 13-14 he got 24.6 minutes per game averaging 8.1 ppg and 7.9 rpg.

Sometimes facts don't matter though if it means you can be internet right. And get to make stuff up.

[palangi]

In comparison, Steven Adams, who most here would like to have.

Got 25 mpg this year averaging 8.0 ppg and 6.7 rpg.

i the playoffs Adams averaged 30.1 mpg and 10.1 ppg and 9.5 rpg.

could Plumlee in 5 more minutes get 2 more points (1 basket) and 1.5 more rebounds?

If if so he has the same numbers as Adams


huh?

[AFMadison]

Who the wants Mason. Some people on here want him simply because he is a roll man
