Good news.
Ime Udoka is the only player who could actually and literally kill a man.
You need a killer in any winning enterprise.

Oh man when Ime dribbled down the length of the court I thought all sorts of bad stuff was going to happen.
Dude went 0-2..picking up where he left off..missing shots.
Played a whopping 3 minutes.
Head for the hills.
I haven't watch the game, how does Udoka look?
So I checked Ime's boxscore.. 2 steals in 3 minutes. That's 2 free possessions for the spurs, which is a good first game, IMO.
What did you expect, 15/10 & 5 blocks?
ROFL @ spurs fans writing off a guy in his first game of the year who literally just signed a contract. For going 0-2 in 3 minutes of action.
This place never fails to make me laugh.

He did have 2 steals.
He kills the ball movement on O with his pump fake and then a bad shot
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...h-times-three/...Udoka says it isn’t difficult to erase the remnants of the Sacramento Kings’ system.
“It’s not hard to forget that,” said Udoka, 33, who spent last season with the Kings after two with the Spurs. “It was a lot of standing around.”
...Udoka doesn’t think it will take him long to re-learn the Spurs’ system.
“There’s still a ton of plays, like always,” Udoka said. “It’s just a matter of refreshing your memory.”
We're not writing him off based on 3 minutes played in his first game. We're writing him off because we know he's not good enough to begin with.
Like Simmons, he lost weight and got in better shape, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he doesn't have a single NBA skill at this stage in his career. At least Simmons was a career 40% three-point shooter. Udoka doesn't even have that fall back on.
The best that can be hoped for is something resembling adequate defense in carefully selected match-ups (meaning, keep him away from Nowitzki, Odom, Lewis, etc.) and mid thirties three-point shooting.
I'm worried that ime will get to many minutes, he said in his interview pop said he will get backup sf playing time.. and we all kow how that went last time
I'm pretty sure everybody is writing him off because of his previous time in the team.
Who cares, hes just a stop gap until Mr. Anderson comes back, neal doesnt cut it at sf, despite his effort. James was playing great on d and hitting timely threes, no way udoka will take significant minutes from him once hes healthy.
Well, Simmons was in terrible shape, and it showed. He would have needed half the season to play himself into game shape on limited minutes. Ime otoh is entering in terrific shape, and he'll help the spurs with hustle and energy from the get-go, which is what this team needs right now to allow Manu & Tony a chance to let off the gas pedal a little and save something for the playoffs.
As far as that +4% 3pt shooting favoring Simmons.. in limited minutes, this difference amounts to , really. In a season of say, 250 attempts Udoka will score 270 points, Simmons 300. This is roughly 1/3 of a point per game. Or an extra point every 3 games.
Factor in Simmons' inability to guard 3's (Udoka can), and his patheticly sluggish corpse on defense (Udoka will run circles around him) and it's not even close.
You read too much into what I said.
I wasn't championing Simmons' cause, just saying, for him, he was in good shape, like Udoka. But being in good shape and hustling doesn't mean much if you can't play and neither can anymore.

Ime Udoka was not available to talk to the media after shootaround this morning because he was taking his physical. He passed
Next thing you know Spurs will bring back Keith Bogans next season.
We all knew this was bad. The logic was sound, but we all knew this was bad. Even if the Spurs are winning, this doesn't make sense.
James Anderson, please come back!
You can make a great argument that he's the worst player in the NBA..
He has absolutely no business playing on a team with the best record in the NBA..
Ime Udoka is a baller....haters gon' hate
