Temple of Austin Daye

I thought his passing looked pretty good too.

He threw a great entry pass to Baynes, pretty much led to a layup but Baynes got blocked

11 minutes - 11 points - 3-4 from 3.
2 rebounds 1 assist

Not bad for garbage minutes.

Is there a house of worship for Joseph? Fine job by CoJo tonight.

I know...it's getting to the point that when he is in, I expect everything he throws up to go in.

Yep. Nice passing. No turnovers. Jump hook down in the paint. And, his defense wasn't bad either. Contested a shot or two. Got beat off the dribble just once that I saw at the end of the game, with 20 seconds on the clock. No one was working too hard at that point, except Fournier. Two fouls were on help defense. He should have had another assist or two, Baynes let him down, he drew a foul or two, one on defensive board, involved in causing turnover on inbounds, etc...good game for him. Sure didn't do anything to hurt his chances tonight.

I think he's only had one turnover since he got here. Not bad for a nOOb.

[playbonner15]

Just needs a few post up moves/ fade away shots to go in for him to be the next Dirk!

And just a few more drives so he can be the "White Dayerantula"

At one point he had 11 pts in THREE minutes. And I'm not so sure they were totally unimportant garbage minutes. Denver was trying to make a little run and had cut the lead under 20 when Daye came in and started bombing from beyond the arc.

"Daye In The Life"

I read the news toDaye oh boy
About a lucky man who made the 3

"Daye Tripper"

It took Pop soooo long to find out, but he found out

Dammit, I should have posted that. I love that song and show.

People are looking a Belinelli and thinking how in the world can this guy shoot the 3 that well. Belinelli always had talent, he dropped 45 points in his first summer league game.

Austin Daye, in the few minutes he has played, his 3 point shooting is off the charts! We are talking here about an effective shooting percentage of 90%. 2-2 in one game, 6-10 in another game, 3-4 today. These are 3 point shots folks. Daye is making the look like layups!

Daye has been known to shoot well ever since college. Now you add him to the Spurs with a guy like Chip Engeland tweaking his form and you have the Spurs system where you get tons of uncontested 3 point attempts. It's a layup drill for Daye! In fact, many of shots, for most folks look like they are contested, for Daye it's not. He's so tall that its all daylight up there!

Daye is going to be that special weapon in the Spurs arsenal where you're down 10 points with 2 minutes to go, and all of a sudden, 3 plays later you're behind by 1 point.

Oh.... speaking of Mills..... nobody is talking about him lately.... but he's crazy good.

Daye won't be on the floor if we're down 10 with only two minutes to go.

[UZER]

Daye already showing more balls than Bonner ever has. No hesitation on that trigger.

Yes exactly. Does not get bothered when defense closes out on him.

A much better option than Bonner for special situations that where a 3 point attempt is contested.

[BackHome]

The other think I like is that he can actually dribble the ball unlike some players on our team he can handle the rock.

Wow, I just watched ceperez's clip. Austin Daye's got ball handling skills, I saw some crossover moves, and bursts of speed to the rim, something I haven't seen from Matt Bonner. I realize this is a highlight clip, but since Daye's playing time has been limited there's not a whole lot of footage anyway. I can't believe we traded Nando de Colo to get him. Now, I can't wait to hear the San Antonio crowd when he does a crossover dribble and dunks it.

Breaking ankles tbh

Spurs now 18-1 since the Daye trade

It has been nice to see pop use him in the couple games previous to Indiana at the end of quarters, but he hasn't made the most of those opportunities, lately. 0-3 or 0-4, he has seemed to play better after getting warmed up a little...with the major exception being that Miami game where he nailed a couple of 3's right off the bench.

Enjoy the game tomorrow, all.

I watched those end of quarter subs utions. I think he just did not get the ball in a position to be able to shoot it. Anyway, this seems to be his role at the moment. End of quarter plays.
