Yes sir, in the end of the first round
I wasn't sure about Simmons' longetivity in this league but after three games I don't have much doubt. He's tightened his handles, is making better passes and decisions. I don't see him as more than a spot starter, if that, but he looks like he knows he belongs. He looks like a big threat off the bench especially when teams can't keep him out of the lane. He's a first class slasher.
Yes sir, in the end of the first round
spurs are playing everyone tomorrow?
Most likely my man...
Reggie Jackson was pretty terrible during his rookie season despite playing for 3 years in college & not being 170lbs. As long as he puts in the work, Murray can develop like Reggie who wasn't asked to be a rotation player right away as he was playing for a contender.
If he adheres to the Kawhi regime of working on his jumper & pumping iron then he should be a more explosive version of Jamal Crawford which will put him in the Reggie Jackson tier of guards.
Teams are going to give him the Tony Allen treatment if he can't hit WIDE open 3s or at least get into the paint playing 4-on-5.
Simmons had Jeff Ayres in the pre season, now he looks like Jordan.
What a transition
Just seen the highlights. What is new and encouraging is the incredible number of weapons this roster has. Part of this comes with the will, expressed by Pop during the summer, to improve our athleticism...but other stuff is really unexpected...for example, just referred to this game and apart from Simmons obvious but already seen improvement, the fact that Lee is capable of running like a deer and catch that Lapro pass, or Deadmon able to take with ease the outside shot, or Lapro confidence running the offense. Looks also like ther's a good understanding on offense between Pau, Mills and Kiwi. Maybe I'm a little too optimist but, despite the fact that last year we won 67, I have to admit that this roster looks a lot more unpredictable for opposing teams...and if we are gonna improve and gain more confidence in time (as it should be) this team could be named the "pick your poison" team.
Man, it is so nice to see bench big men that can play bother ends of the court.. Lee has been surprising to see, he's not as weak defensively as imagined, and he has a nose for the ball and rebounding while being a good scorer and passer (similar to Diaw). Dedmon has shown amazing rim protection and awareness defensively, and has been very surprising on the offensive end especially tonight with those jumpers.
Sure Baynes had talent and even Boban showed flashes, and we've had many talented big men on the team such as West, and Diaw but they each had quite a few weaknesses which were obvious. So far our bench bigs have already meshed with the players and have shown no fear and weaknesses, which is a great sign for the team.
Have a feeling that Pop may opt to rest Pau tomorrow after he rested Manu and Tony tonight
Sleepy Pau? nah
Just my opinion, thinking that if he rested his other 2 old players in the first game of a back to back he could rest his old big man tonight..
I think pop will keep running him, no better time than the present.
Im ready to see Dedmon with the SL
How about Sleepy Lapro? It must be his eyes and the facial hair, but he never looks completely awake.
I'm in SA and it works. I've seen the last two fssw games.
savage.
Man, Garcia should not host a podcast, he is just not a good speaker. Thanks for posting though! He does know his Spurs.
