Chip Engelland

[Solid D]

I think Chip Engelland must have had a wellspring of emotions after last night's FT shooting exhibition (Spurs' 14 missed FTs).

[ducks]

spurs wanted to make sure he was not going anywhere yet

[Manu Pacquiao]

One word: Consistency, if SPURS need to repeat next yr. Not 3pts in 1 game, 27 pts in another.

Actually, changing an already good shooter's mechanics will only be bad news. It will really f**k up his jumpshot, bigtime. Manu's form is almost close to textbook anyway, only his left elbow points just a bit to the outside. Look at Reggie Miller and Peja Stojakovic, they got an awkward form, but you dont wanna change it, they got their technique locked in their musle memory already.

And I think Manu's career scoring average is in the 14-17 point range, and i bet it will never go much higher than that. He's a rythym type of player, so there will be bad days once in a while. He'll just need to improve on his shot selection and his base (foot position and balance) to have a more consistent FG% with his jumpers next year.

sssshhhhhhhh we can't be giving our resources away to other teams....

especially the cavs, of all places, we can't just migrate the spurs over to cleveland. we need to spread it out and use the spurs organization to elevate the state of the NBA!

I would rather hoard all the good people in SA though...

Whatever Chip is making Holt needs to double it. Can't afford to have someone else steal him from us.

Agggie, we know you still haven't found your micro- with both hands, but did you watch the Spurs' FT shooting in the Finals Games3 and 4, when FTs are meaningful, vs in the "season that doesn't matter"?

You are the expert on *small* sample sizes.

You said the Spurs didn't improve. Going from dead last to middle of the pack is a pretty significant improvement in two seasons. Two more and we'll be near the top.

So our FT shooting in games 3 and 4 looked like our FG shooting in games 3 and 4, what's the big ing deal?

Micro- ? Did you pull that off nsyncfans.com or something? Grow the up.

"You said the Spurs didn't improve"

Liar.

"what's the big ing deal?"

Winning 2 Finals games by a total of 4 pts while missing 21 FTs and shooting FTs under 60% isn't much of an endorsement of Engelland, but continue in your fantasy and lies, less twerp.
