Hey, I wanted to compliment you on this topic! It's a good one!
Put 15 pounds on that guy and you'll have a poor man's Stromile Swift.Or the rebounding, but the D wasn't bad at all.Melvin Sanders looks like Devin Brown without the offensive game.He has to with Riles and the press looking over his shoulder.Stan Van Gundy still takes preseason too seriously.
Oberto played very well while he was in. A lot better than Nazr & Rasho. If Oberto works on his defense more, he can very well be the starter. Nazr as just awful, fouling all the time.
Sanders did play defense pretty good, needs to work on his offensive game though.
That's true, but you have to remember that a lot of people get in foul trouble when they are trying to guard Shaq.
If they keep him, it will be for D.
It's not like he has no O though - he had a 54 point game in the CBA last year.
It may have just been me, but it appeared that Beno played either with greater confidence or with a greater sense of purpose. Whatever, he was pretty solid for most of his minutes tonight.
I really liked the first quarter or so when the game kind of resembled a regular season game. The Spurs first group was good, but when Pop mixed in the bench, the Spurs played good offense and defense -- the front 8-9 on this team present options that the Spurs have never had before.
Rasho looks like he didn't get the message.
Manu and Tim look freaking awesome.
Ford looks like he could be a good contributor
Fin and NVE look to fit in perfectly
Sean Marks, Brent Barry, and Beno Udrih alll look great
It was a really fun game for being preseason and I'm not even mad we lost which is really rare
Oh, alright. Well I guess he didn't shoot enough then.
I don't think that there is any team in the league that has an answer for Shaq. You just need to keep him on the outside. Sharrod Ford impressed me tonight. He grabbed rebounds and really hustled out there. I believe it will probably be Sharrod Ford and Melvin Sanders that make the roster.
The Spurs could have easily blown away the Heat but decided to go with the individuals trying to make the team and Sean Marks to go up against Alonzo Morning, Gary Payton, and Antoine Walker. The Spurs a very good job tonight and were very impressive in the first half.
that some of you do really funny color commentary
He also looks like he lost some "baby fat"It may have just been me, but it appeared that Beno played either with greater confidence or with a greater sense of purpose. Whatever, he was pretty solid for most of his minutes tonight.
Is it possible that Rasho is in the IR for Marks?
Duncan has improved his form on his FT and outside shot.
Beno is the best playmaking PG.
Rasho has regresed if that's possible.
Ford has the look of a keeper so far.
Maybe this summer helped him but I always thought he would be a lot better after last year.He also looks like he lost some "baby fat"
I learned from the Heat announcers that teams can adjust their reserve lists on a game-by-game basis, rather than having to sit someone down for 5 games to activate another player. I didn't remember that being the case, but I can see that being very helpful to the Spurs in mixing and matching parts to address particular matchups.
Nazr has always been terrible against Shaq.
Beno is a player that makes things happen.
Miami is a team that takes great pride in playing Antoine Walker late against scrubs.
I noticed the same thing, but the mental side is almost more important to me. With his skills (which are definitely there), if Beno plays with more confidence, aggression, and mental toughness, he can be a real asset to this team.He also looks like he lost some "baby fat"
Walker can light up guys that will be lucky to make an NBDL roster!
Rasho, alas, is still Rasho.
That is awsome.the front 8-9 on this team present options that the Spurs have never had before.
Rasho looks like he didn't get the message.
We learned that either Marks or Oberto will be starting in a few months, and we learned that Nazr and Rasho are both expendable.
We learned that Beno took a hint from the playoffs and is playing like his career depends on it. Which is a good thing, because we learned that with Nick Van Exel playing like he did today, it does.
We learned that Manu lost absolutely nothing during the off-season, and that he has apparently worked on a nifty little floater with his left hand. We also learned that there will be absolutely zero debate when he appears on the All-Star team.
We learned that Duncan is no longer a hazard at the free-throw line and that, if the afore mentioned charity stripped proclivity is a direct result of his barbering techniques, he should keep the 'fro if the free-throws go.
I was going to bring that up too. That's sweet if it's true, but I've never heard that until tonight either.
Oberto's defense needs to adjust to NBA style, or just be better overall on defense. I havent picked one.
Duncan looks good enough to make a run for the MVP.
Parker didn't take any three's, I thought he was working on them? Hopefully it was just the cir stances.
Rasho has become a rash, infecting all those around him to either pick up his slack, or fall with him. (in the year two thousaaaaaaaand -conan obrian show)
Don't look for any major changes in Parker very soon. They are restructuring his whole shot. He's not just working on 3's.Parker didn't take any three's, I thought he was working on them? Hopefully it was just the cir stances.
that we are the Champs win or lose.
Have yall guys forgoten Parker? No one has mentioned him except Brutalis. I am shocked. How did he do. Not that great I suppose...
