david lee a center... can't remember who's take that was
They can't play together they said...
But Lee played center for the Knicks 8 years ago they said...
Spurs needed these effective rollers last year. So good to see.

David Lee was horrible in the preseason. But you can tell he is listening to Pop and sticking w/ his D. These two games are the best Defense I have ever seen Lee play. Cherry on the Top is Dedmon and his Ben Wallace like performances thus far.
I was ecstatic for both. People were complaining about the Lee signing, I was jumping for joy. Guy us just a blue collar player that does all the little things, never stops playing. Isn't great at anyone thing, but great at being good to decent at everything.
Dedmon is athletic enough to move out n the perimeter for switching and a good defender and court running big to pair with the running second unit. I get excited to see the second unit come out now. Can't remember that for awhile.
What's the opposite of the turd towers? The towers of God
They are both so good together.
Over reacting in the pre season
I've been on the Dedmon bandwagon since May, he was the only FA I wanted IIRC..
David Lee has always been a great regular season stat-padder, though..won't get excited about him until he provides some goods in May, tbh(although obviously he's better suited vs. bench players, so he could continue thriving)
Definitely better than the Turd Towers from last season
Dedmon and Lee with huge performances tonight! Dedmon absolutely fantastic activity, defense, and hustle
Dedmon has played fantastic vs the Kings.
In his defense, he's always been a guy who shows up ready to play and plays as hard as he can every second he's on the floor. When you're on ty teams, that means a lot of garbage time with people who don't care. Hopefully there will be less of that with the Spurs.
Dedmon channeling David Robinson.
I thought so, too, tbh.
Agree. I was so skeptical about Dedmon and Lee working together on the court that I expected a new version of Turd Towers but they're looking great...Blocks, rebounding, some scoring
Agreed. Cat just plays hard. He's definitely not a stat padded. High IQ, high motor.
Its shocking how well theyve played, lee especially. Lee still got a little bit left in the tank
Spurs need that starting lineup to click, and bertans to crack the rotation would be amazing
If they develop a nice chemistry playing together they gonna eat alive other teams 2nd units
They should be nicked name the Double D (Dwayne/David) towers. Because game their game is great to watch and they are busting up opposing offenses and putting the letter D in defense twofold.
Both are better additions than Pau at the moment.
But theyre both centers.
Its impossible.
I mean, remember when the ST people said Splitter & Duncan couldnt play together back in 11'? Because they were both "centers"? Absolutely must have a true spread the floor big next to one.
They were both fantastic vs the Kings, played hard, rebounded, scored efficiently
Lee is just a smart guy who knows how to play and brings it every night, and has the chance to hide his defensive problems by playing vs opposing benches and in the Spurs defensive system
Dedmon is just the athletic big we've been missing for a couple of years
P'n'r with Manu was fun to watch, hope we get more of that
Dedmon has looked really good on both ends of the floor.. Unlike some of the other project big men the Spurs have put out there, he didn't try to do too much. He played solid D around the rim, his length and timing helped him get some tough rebounds, and when he got the ball down low he knew what to do with it.. He seems to have good chemistry w/ Manu already, I expect to see him on the receiving end of some Manu lobs a lot more as they get more familiar w/ each other.
wanted for their defense, but scored 12 each, both outscoring 3 of the starters
Dedmon so far is the big Spurs haven't had since Robinson. Extremely mobile big that can go out on the floor and cover smalls and get back to the paint. He makes up for a lot of the others defensive lapses. He's the guy Mahinmi and LJC we're supposed to be. If he keeps it up he puts the Spurs solidly in the race with GS and the Cavs for the le. The missing piece.
