Spurs soon to announce they are bringing back Ime Udoka

[superbigtime]

Ime is about 3X worse than he was before. Slow, undersized, unathletic, can't shoot, can't dribble, can't defend. I'd take Gee or Hairston back in a heartbeat. He should only play garbage time or if someone is hurt or if an intentional foul is desired. I hope he is out of the rotation for good after this last crap game. Seriously one of the worst 10 players in the league. Good character etc but just awful player.

I think the sample size needs to be bigger before we pass judgement on Ime. A bad shooting start and some turnovers are quite normal for someone who is coming in cold turkey in the middle of the season and trying to fit in.

Ime has contributed energy and hustle plays. Averaging roughly 3 steals and 5 assists per 36 minutes so far. He'll be fine for another month getting limited minutes, alot of people need to chill out and remove the stick out of their ass.

A sample size of about 3 years worth of Ime playing professional basketball can and should be used.

This is a tough situation, were dealing with injures so i'm not asking for the guy to be cut or questioning the FO's intention on signing him. He's a stop gap and as long as he doesn't cost the spurs too much money... it is a decent move. But that doesn't mean we cant be realistic and call it what it is.. Ime is NOT an NBA player and hasnt been for a long time.

If Matt "don't worry he'll be the 5th big in the rotation" Bonner saw the same amount of floor time as Ime was getting I wouldn't have a problem with him. None. Whatsoever.

Now Chump, I bet you haven't watched those 3 year old toros DVD's in over a month now, maybe its time to break em out again.

lol begging for patience with Udoka

lol sticking with the agenda

Ericb picking Ime over Neal..

[Sean Cagney]

I initally supported the Udoka pick up, but after seeing his defense the last couple of games I am really dissapointed with his play. I can only hope his play picks up cause I cannot see Pop making another change.

Why? He sucked his last year here bigtime and last year for Sac, why would he need a chance to prove he sucks again when he did two years ago or so? I knew what he was, I was not happy at the move.

BTW his play will not pick up, I hope he sits on the bench and picks up towels.

[EricD]

At least Pop didn't play him.

It's still a joke that Udoka has played more minutes than Splitter ever since Udoka was signed.

[TD 21]

The good thing is that Pop has caught on and isn't force feeding him minutes, even against a team like the Suns with three big wings and when the Spurs could clearly use some backup SF minutes out of his spot right now.

Initially, I thought he would more than likely last the season, but now I'm starting to think there's a real chance he get's released. Hopefully, it's sooner than later.

Should have just stuck with Green in the first place. Or, if they were intent on signing a veteran, Wilkins was out there and Hayes still is. Both are better than Udoka. Knowing the system should be a deciding factor all things being equal. But when you can't play a lick, that's irrelevant. Or at least it should have been.

First and foremost, you've got be able to play at least somewhat. This team is carrying 13, has 1 out at a position they were already thin at and is trying to manage the minutes of a lot of their players. That means every roster spot is somewhat meaningful. They can't afford to have a guy who's a complete and utter liability.

He still manage to be -1 in 16 seconds.
