Just finished watching... it was a good game if you ignore the injuries... Pop said it looked like Temple ankle sprain was not high, so he might miss just a few days. He said they'll have him checked though.
thanks. hilarious segment

Sounds like Pop believes Temple will not only make the team, but actually get some real playing time and if that's the case I don't want him to play Vegas.
Blair's dumb ass shouldn't be in Vegas either. You can practice a 10-15 ft jumper away from contact and compe ion. So glad he didn't play today.
I wish Richards was in Vegas though. That guy has loads of potential and it would be cool to see what he can do now against near NBA-level compe ion.
The Wolves didn't have a lot of size but the Spurs team was basically an experienced D League team that out-executed a less seasoned group. I do think that if a team that plays like Memphis... a scrambling, pressing team...were to play this Spurs' team, it might be a different outcome. This Spurs team doesn't have very many good ball-handlers.
Yeah in the second half they pretty much had to take out Jerrels and put in Squeaky to get any kind of offense.
The kid Neal from Europe played pretty good one thing is he sure can hit the outside shot.
I still think Temple ends up as Tony's backup this year.
Manu and Hill hold down the two guard, with the Spurs going big with those two off the bench (let Anderson start maybe?).
That essentially sets us at everywhere but the three...
lol pop wearing a australian tshirt, did ghill or brett send him a shirt?![]()
Temple is a little farther ahead in the skills department PG wise than Hill.
Manu, Hill, and Temple are all SG's lol
Hopefully Temple is okay.
He has really surprised me and made me a quick fan of his. When he first came here, I scratched my head thinking "Why did the front office keep him over Cedric Jackson?" Now I know why they did.
Good impression from Gist. He's a 4, of course. Cannot developt to a 3.
I like the idea of Hill and Temple playing together. I agree that Temple is probably better at the PG position and is probably a better distributor. With that said we can have Temple with the PG duties and Hill play more like a 2-guard. On D we can have Temple guard the bigger guards while Hill remains on the smaller ones. Could be interesting to see.
Agreed. It's the poise that he developed over the course of last season carrying into SL.
Assuming they can build their chemistry together, I see us going with Tony and Hill as the starters with Temple and Manu backing them up.
That could definitely be the case. I'm just curious how it will all shake out. A few things don't really add up to me. Lets say we have a 10 man rotation during the regular season:
Starters: Parker, Hill, Jefferson, Splitter, Duncan
Backups: Temple, Ginobili, Anderson, Blair, McDyess
That would be my assumption of a regular season 10 man rotation. But that doesn't take into account a few things:
1) Are we signing another SF? Where does he fit in the mix?
2) Bonner just inked a big long extension. Where does he fit?
3) All this talk about Hairston...where does his time come from?
4) If a player like Gary Neal impresses in Summer League then where would he fit?
Now, of course some of these guys are going to be injury depth only or garbage time players. And I'm sure Duncan and McDyess will sit out a fair amount of games to stay fresh as well (which should open up some time for Bonner). But I can't forsee getting PT for all the guys we're hoping for.
I suspect the backup SF we find with our 2.4 million left after Splitter's signing will be RJ's backup. Anderson becomes a situational guy / scoring sparkplug off the bench when the O goes stagnant.

Garrett Temple is here too. Said he "rolled" his ankle. Isn't sure when he'll be back, but won't be this week. #spurs
