[angelbelow]

cant wait until he joins us.

I was totally going to post that. I'd probably give him that too if I could decipher his code.

...---... (S.O.S.)

He is always posting doom and gloom, I don't rmember much of anything pos ive from him.

played D1 ball and have had high ankle sprains....it doesnt take long to get your legs back.

You must have been a bench warmer.

Ian=waste of time. If he's healthy and is going to play in Austin. Then he isnt ready to play in the NBA yet, its that simple. There is no reason why he couldnt get into shape while in a Spurs uniform. Now im not saying he wont ever come back and play in a spurs uniform. But I cant remember a spurs player going to the Toros to rehab while playing with scrubs. Then again, I dont watch the D-league or the WNBA(unless Fab has the ball in his hands). Maybe they dont let the players in the D-league run at full force. Or maybe, or maybe. I know what Ive seen from this past summer. Thou he had improved since 2005 it wasnt much. And in a year where getting minutes from Pop while Manu and TP are down, come quite easily. I dont see the positive in Ian going back. This should be the perfect time for him to come in and get his feet wet with the bigs in the NBA and in a spurs uniform. Then I remember when we drafted Drob and they told us we would have to wait for 2 years. I didnt like that idea at the time. And it all worked out well. But this kid isnt no Drob.

PG Parker/Hill
SG Mason/Ginobili
SF Udoka/Bowen
PF Duncan
C Mahinmi/Tolliver

This is what we need on the froncourt + Oberto and role player Kurt Thomas.

You are so dumb it just boggles the normal human mind.

All this guy needs to be able to do is (1) run the floor and (2) play a little interior D. With this roster, he's in the rotation if he's just another Elson.

So why is he being protected by the Spurs more than McCain did Sarah Palin?

Which is precisely why he's going to Austin, so he can run the floor and get back into shape as quickly as possible. The Spurs don't practice every day during the regular season, and they spend a lot of time on planes, buses and sitting in hotel rooms. Ian's going to Austin so he can practice every day and get into games where it doesn't matter how he plays as long as he's getting into shape. Then he can come back sooner to San Antonio and concentrate on his play instead of on his conditioning when he's in the game.

exactly..I don't know why that's so difficult to understand..

we're still going to be in games, even without Manu and Parker..we can't afford to have our young guy trying to get in shape during key games at this time..there's no reason that going to Austin to get in shape is a bad thing..
