Preseason Game Thread: Spurs vs Magic: 10/12/16 @ 6:00 PM CT

My compliments, my dear.
I do love smiling...

lol bottom line, I don't think TD and myself disagree that much. I even wanted the Spurs to get a scorer for the bench the past offseason. I like Anderson but never touted him as guy to build a bench around. I do think the team needs him considering they didn't do anything to improve the bench (I even wanted Boban, bc he's a certifiable dominant scorer in the paint and regardless of what Van Gundy is doing with Boban, when he played, he was unguardable. If there is one thing Boban can do is score easily.) Anyways, the point is Spurs were unable to even retain guys they had, so they are entering the season with a worse bench in theory. But since I am not a pessimistic person to be thinking the team is awful and doomed, and will fail this early, I prefer to hope for the development of the youngsters. He thinks he's calling something out here, which to me is:


I don't blame or hate on anyone who think Anderson or Simmons don't have it, but don't come hating on me if I don't think Ginobili is going to have it either come the playoffs TBH... There is no need to be this argumentative about the whole thing.

I tend to think TD has something with Chinook from way back and he's tagging me unto it, and I don't know what it was, nor do I care. It's the only thing that occurs to me for why he's this attached "to calling me out" for anything.

I'm an intelligent poster. I argue my points and let that be the end. I have multiple fans a day scrutinizing my words that would love to bump some weak , but I'm simply to smart for that.

Unlike other people...

lol this is why I like you... lol you have nice sense of humor which some guys lack. lol

I found this for you its in teh "Kyle Anderson isn't good enough thread" I really didn't want to share this bc it just really isn't my style to call others out, like I guess TD likes to do... calling others out seems to be what he enjoys exchanging opinions about and I don't care about that.


He says of Anderson and Simmons


To be fair to TD, I cited the whole thing to give context. I made a general statement about it, but not with the intention of going down this road. Rightfully or not, Ginobili may fall off a cliff soon is my opinion and there will be games like the one last night, when even J.Simms with a characteristic mistake game, still had a stretch where he played much better and was able to swing things around. That is going to become common. Maybe some nights Manu is the one having a good night, but there are likely to be nights it's others, and it's wrong to rely on Manu to carry the burden, and in fact, I don't know if you yourself noticed Mr. tonight, but Manu deferred and played off the ball, and there were times he touched the ball, that bad things happened actually.

Manu himself said, he would not be surprised if these guys took minutes from him eventually or play better. He was honest saying from his perspective they are both talented and it is only natural that they play better and improve.

So there you have it. I mean I have my favorites and all, but assuming Manu is going to carry this bench and everyone has to play around him is a bygone era. He's spotting and playing off the ball more and more himself.

(Now wait for TD to revive the vendetta, which is why I don't like to go down these roads lol)... but see just bc you are so funny...

Classic case of poor reading comprehension. Saying the bench needs to revolve around Ginobili is not the same as saying they'll "survive the whole season and playoffs on his back" or "assuming he's going to carry it".

You're a fool if you think Ginobili honestly thinks he'll be losing minutes to them. He'll get his recently customary roughly 20 mpg, no matter how them or him play. He just said what he did because it's the type of thing you're supposed to say.

There is no vendetta. It's called a message board. Having differing opinions or debating something is what makes it fun and is not the same as arguing. Unfortunately, there's too many overly sensitive people who can't differentiate.
