Splitter finally arrived.

The you say.

I am thrilled the season is back.

I want to see how Tiago helps and where he fits.

I want to see if Anderson can be a player.

I want to see the big 3 healthy.

I wan to see if this team kind find their defensive iden y.

Just bring the energy. Do the dirty work.

Earlier this year, we went from a happy family of two to an even happier family of five.

Our family is very settled in now. And both us intend to be very active on ST this season.

You had triplets or went on an adoption spree?

Good to hear. I haven't picked apart one of timvp's posts in a while.

Defense wins championships. Matt Bonner doesn't fit into that equation.

Hopefully Splitter forces Pop the hand to finally sit Bonner when it matters.

A front-court of Duncan Splitter McDyess and Blair is as good as there is in the entire league.

I actually don't think Bonner sitting has much to do with Splitter. I think it has more to do with the team's collective three point shooting. If they have enough three point shooting without him, then they'll be little to no need for him. I think the other thing it has to do with is Blair. If he can play against all teams, then they'll also be little to no need for Bonner.

You never know with Pop and it could somewhat dependent on match-up, too, but I think it's safe to say that, aside from Duncan, who's obviously a lock, McDyess and Splitter will be in the playoff rotation. So that leaves one spot for Blair or Bonner.

To me, the ideal scenario, as far as the playoff rotation goes, is Splitter starting next to Duncan, with McDyess and Blair as the backups.

Congratulations! Sounds like your family's Drive for Five was successful.

Now it's the Spurs' turn.

This is a damn good place to hang out and talk basketball (and have a few laughs along the way).

Looking forward to the season, & reading all the quality posts from all the quality posters on this board. Hopin the spurs have what it takes to take on the big boys and succeed (knocking the lakers/thunder off would be the ultimate thrill for me).

I'm happy to be back for another year of Spurs Basketball.

No guarantees on what kind of RTB threads I'll start this year, or how frequently they'll pop up, but I'll try my best to stick to my strengths, unless I get bored. (Spurs- play well and don't let me get bored.)

As always, I'm thrilled to be part of such a great and vibrant community. Everyone here, from the heavyweight posters to the 15-thoughts-per-year contributors, to even the lurkers, make this a fun place to hang out.

As for the Spurs, this should be a good year. Best case, this team's ceiling is certainly a championship, though it'll be a pretty decent climb to get there. Worst case, I think we'll have fun watching the Spurs youth grow and improve as basketball players.

The Drive for Five continues tonight. Believe.
