Summer League Game 3: Spurs vs. Knicks

[Marcus Bryant]

Amusing, coming from you.

Bottomline so far is the only player who is making a case for playing time is James Gist. An absolutely relentless, hustle player who brings it all the time. A monster on the boards due to his energy and athleticism. Working on and showing his range. Even hitting a three and several long jumpers. Not a traditional SF and really doesn't fit in as a SF in this system, but could ABSOLUTELY play some combo forward for this team, and in certain lineups I would love to see him next to Duncan as the PF.

Yup, 30 seemed like a good line.

[ducks]

damm some people do not think there is a change between COLLEGE AND NBA SUMMER GAMES

GET A GRIPS OF REALITY
tp played well in summer league
but he was paid to play basketball before summer league

IT TAKES TIME
just like when you get hired on
you start low and work your way up

I was watching the Q Richardson interview and a basketball game broke out. Please no more Gallinari shots ...

Indeed...I think I saw enough of his face yesterday to last several lifetimes. They even missed some of the plays in the game showing the same shots of him over and over sitting on the bench.

We should just be thankful to the Knicks that the game was on TV...

You thought Javtokas was worth the MLE.

I can't believe you're still carrying this load of dog crap around in your head.

[Mr. Body]

I'm sorry I missed the part where Tony was using that shot in his early career. You're a complete and utter moron. Do you see why?

Dude, look. Not every player has the sense of range and motion to get that shot off, the same way not every player can shoot the finger roll like Gervin could. It's a special shot. Maybe Hill can learn it, maybe he has that ability, but it's not like Magic: The Gathering like you used to play where you just combo up the cards or something from another deck. He's not going to just 'gain it' by playing with Parker. If that were the case, Udrih, Vaughn, and Darius Washington would be dropping teardrop floaters all over the league. You have this incredibly simplistic understanding of athletic skill. Jesus, you're barely worth the time.

[picnroll]

Floater is a pretty easy shot to master. More and more players have added it to their arsenal. Other shots like the English high off the glass that Parker uses are much harder to master. Parker was not great his first year finisihing improvd his second, third fourth years. But some expect Hill to come in and already have Parker's game.

Udrih? Udrih can't even get in the lane without getting the ball stripped.

Have you ever played basketball? The sky hook is an incredibly easy shot but nobody ever uses it anymore. The teardrop isn't a tough shot, and neither is the finger roll. Parker didn't come into the league with that shot, so therefore it can be learned. Period.
