Yeah I noticed that too, I think they were yelling at him or something.

KT is old school...when he fouls you, you're gonna feel it...
...the next morning!
Kurt Thomas is ing awesome.
We will see what will happen in playoff but I still think that giving up a first round pick for him was a bad idea.
I agree wtih most of what you said especially that foul on Najera. To quote myself in the game thread "That's how you ing foul". Also, like you said I don't remember Najera doing anything after that.
From the sounds of it you think it was a bad trade all together? Forget about the first round pick for a second - Are you saying that Kurt doesn't fit or won't help us this season? Would you rather have Elson right now?
Kurt Thomas >>>> a ty first round pick in the high 20s + Francisco "Don't Call Me Nazr" Elson
Who is Elson?
I have no reason to forget the first round pick because it is a part of the trade.
I think that Thomas will help us this season and he is an upgrade over Elson. However, I don't think this upgrade was big enough to give up a first round pick.
I'm not sure about the first round pick either but time will tell.
if thomas helps give the spurs a le is the trade with it?

Needs to play more minutes and next to Duncan at the same time.
Yeah, still not a fan of coughing up that first.
yeah! as if we're playing our first round pick a of a minutes...and spurs sucks in draft day these past few years!
Leave it to KT to administer the first "hard foul" by any Spur player this season. He's proving what most of us long-timer NBA viewers have always known - that he is an enforcer and a very solid NBA player.
OK fair enough, so you're saying you'd rather have Elson and that first round pick.
No way would I rather have Elson than KT right now though so we didn't really have any choice. He'd be in Orlando or somewhere else if we didn't throw in that first rounder. From what I read Orlando had a better offer on the table.
I really think that if Pop put KT and Duncan out there at the same time like Robinson and Duncan and run the double high post offense the Spurs would be extremely dangerous. Either KT or Duncan could set up the offense with their passing leaving Ginobili and Parker to do their thing. You could run the pick and roll on either side...I mean dayum. Leave a 3 pt shooter out there on the perimeter the same way Kerr used to do. Be very tough to stop.
Pop needs to go deep into his bench and play some of the other guys more minutes and give the starters some more breathers so they can play at a high energy level.
Spurs are the only other team besides the Rockets that have the ability to go as deep into their bench without losing a beat.
KT helping this team contend for a le TODAY >>>>>>>> some late first rounder who gets to ride the pine for three years learning the "system".
KT has been a blessing. he brings the intangibles that we need, namely toughness. sometimes our boys are too corporate. KT laying the lumber on Najera who was doing the same to our players was fantastic. he essentially pimp slapped their enforcer/energy and sort of rendered him useless going forward. good stuff right there.
We finally have an enforcer. And one that is good enough to start. That was beautiful the way he put Najera on his ass after Eduardo started getting pretty rough out there.
Get the felling Thomas ain't a guy you wanna with very much...
