The whole team was better last SL than it was this year, particularly in Vegas. Everyone played like a team. This year was a lot of isolation and a lot of standing around. Frankly, it looked a lot like the regular season Spurs but with fewer long jumpers off the dribble.

That happened ever since, Dejounte Murray joined the team. No coincidence. The guy is a cancer at such a young age. :-(

Reminds me of that Russel character with the Lakers.

Spurs were winning just fine b4 Slowmo was sat.

Definitely not a cancer. With your logic, Heild and Dunn are cancers. They both lost alot of games. Look at Minnesota. They were ranked last and beat us without Dunn. They haven't lost since he went out I believe and he was averaging like 25 points per game. Few rookies ever make a positive impact to begin.

[ceperez]

He seems to be a little more in control today. Still making some sketchy plays but I think that just because guys don't Know each other. It's easy to see he has the most talent on the floor. His ability to get to the rim looks effortless and he seems to have an idea where the other players are on the court should he need to pass.

The guy is hot dogging out there while everyone is trying to play serious ball. Talk about an overly en led draft-pick who has a guaranteed contract. The guy should be benched.

On another topic... that offense, Pop's experiments? Looks like more Iso this season?

Oh I agree about this year's team. It was all him. But last year's team played really well together. That's all I was saying.

Wow, clearly you've chosen a position and dug in as hard as you can about it. Good luck with that.

They were blowing out teams, until Dejounte Murray started playing. SlowMo had to bail that team out.

[T Park]

They already have him under contract for at least this year, don't they? It's not guaranteed. It's a lot more likely since roster spots aren't really as much of a premium as they looked a couple of weeks ago.

I believe its a 75K guarantee for Training Camp. nothing guaranteed beyond that.

Agreed. Thanks for acknowledging it. I tire of being the lone wolf howling lol
We really won that SL championship on his back, and he's a leader. Soon as we sat him down, this ship is sailing.

Also tells me one thing. Becky is a fine coach, but without her best player ain't the same thing. Puts in perspective how much coaching can impact a game. Putting guys in good spots is all she can do. SloMo doesn't get enough credit.

I hate her rotations. Hey coach, it's ok to play 2 bigs together. Stokes isn't a center. LJC isn't a center. Lalanne and Ndoye are 2 guys that can pay center. Quit playing 6'5" guys at the 4. We aren't the warriors.

Papagianis is a big mother er.

What's weird is that they'll run that, but they'll also run out four guards in the same game. I guess the idea is to get them ready to play out of position, because Pop's going to do that at random points.

Is Bertans pronounced "Burtons" like Joel is saying? Sounds wrong to me.

[John Petrucci]

Bertans with the nice banker on the run. Good looking touch.

Exactly. Take a break from sucking off the coaches for a change.

Yeah I noticed this too. I don't get all the hate you get or the snide Anderson comebacks people throw you way sometimes when you don't even make reference or mention him in posts.

Yeah keep fighting the man tough guy

[tonight...you]

His skill-set and ability to move the way he does, he could be a fixture in the rotation soon.

I thought I'd heard it that way.
