A lot of the guys are coming back looking pretty trim this year. Mills, Danny, Aldridge, and Gasol all look noticeably more fit. Even Parker looks to have slimmed, although probably due to his rehab.
I wonder if this is just coincidence, or if it was a mandate made by the coaching staff and/or amongst the guys.
I don't know if it was a mandate per se but if they aim to play faster they all have to be in better shape. Last season it was about controlling tempo.
Tony, per his rehab has worked harder in the gym than ever. Gasol it should make sense to take care of his body. I like that he's done that considering his age and the multi-year contract he got. He really looked out of shape last season and was known to get in shape through the season.
A lot of guys are in contract seasons too.
Might be their response to the trades.
. I wonder if he left the end of season interview having been told Spurs were satisfied with him and wouldn't trade him to then find out his name all over the media with trade rumors. There are snakes everywhere. I didn't bring it up in that thread bc it contrary to other examples given, this one can't be proven. But it's not out of the realm of possibility. It also makes sense for Danny to opt out after those rumors. He has to look out for his own interest. He could be in trade rumors again. Might as well get paid or get a longer contract b4 he declines.
Whatever it is that lit a fire under their asses, I approve.
You have to be in pretty good shape to run a movement-based offense too, which the Spurs didn't do nearly enough of last season.
And in the case of Green and Mills, you have to be stronger if you're going to play up a position. Could see more PG/PG/SG/SF/C than PG/SG/SF/SF/C
Put your money where your mouth is, LaMarcus.
I'm actually excited for the scrimmage tomorrow. Usually I snore through these scrimmages in the past but there's just so many questions around this team from everyone outside of Kawhi since we know what the team is going to get from him. Saying that, it's just a scrimmage game and it shouldn't be taken more seriously than that but let's just say I'm really curious.
Awesome! Then the Spurs can trade his ass and not get literal back.
Put your money where your mouth is, LaMarcus.
I always get excited when the scrimmage and preseason rolls around because BASKETBALL!
Then I am always reminded that the stream the Spurs put up for the scrimmage usually blows balls, none of the preseason games are televised so you are lucky to find a halfway decent opponent stream, and Pop's rotations are always whack.
But hey, at least it's a sign that we are almost there...
I'm actually excited for this years team. So much pressure is on Warriors, Rockets, Cavs, and Thunder for their super team moves. The Spurs can just run the process without any crazy expectations and it could be a great reward.
I still haven't forgiven Joffrey for getting Ned Stark killed, tbh.
spoiler man ...
I just love the Hound, and Selmy.......
But Malazan trumps Thrones!!!!!
Reminder: scrimmage is today at 11 AM Central Time and shown on https://www.facebook.com/Spurs/
Today is his birthday:
exactly why he sucks. thinks too much of himself
Put your money where your mouth is, LaMarcus.
Who da fook is this guy?
I think it's a Make A Wish kid tbh
I am late to the game, but anyone got a non-FB link to the scrimmage?
