He's been so much more than athletic and defensively sound. Dedmon had an awful preseason and I didn't see anyone saying he'd make such an impact catching passes and finishing around the rim. Not to mention his ability to O board. At the same time it's only been three games.

I understand your anger towards people favoring the Warriors but I'm glad it's that way. The Spurs need a chance to build chemistry with a bunch of new pieces and stay healthy. That's easier when every team that comes to town doesn't hate you the way everyone hates the Warriors. I definitely have and will continue to take the field over the Warriors. Think about how Dedmon on the Warriors would suck. He's the type of player they're missing.
This is why I don't watch pre-season games. Never watched one(aside from a few minutes of the spurs loss a couple years ago against that foreign squad) and I never plan on watching a whole one. They don't count. They mean NOTHING!!!. It's not anger. It's just that people don't know . You try to exdplain it to them and they think names win les. A name has never won anywhere. It's what you do on the court.
