It's Señor, as is Mr.

Not Senior. As in old.

What can I say? You've busted me. I just prefer a little roster balance. Always have. In spite of their long track record of success, I've never been a fan of the Spurs having the perennial "oldest team in the league". As we know, players become more susceptible to injury as they get older. If there is no depth behind them, it shows. Having a good mix of vets, mid-career guys, and young talent helps provide the energy and depth needed to offset the "dog days" of the season and those dreaded back-to-back road games.

All that said, I'm very excited about the propsective bench depth the Spurs are in the process of building. Hill, Hairston, Gist, Ian and possibly Pops provide a type of youthful energy and athleticism the Spurs have never had. Besides, they're all cheap - right now, too.

right on. I was just observing that you more than anyone on this board seem to be pushing the youth movement. I'm with you though, the young bench they are working on is exciting.

Has Ime hit a pump-fake-step-up-shot...ever?

Every god damn it goes in and out.

He hit it pretty regularly last season...from the baseline. This year it seems absolutely nothing is falling for him.

As others have said, this season has just been disasterous for Ime. While he was never going to be a starter/all-star, he had a shot to carve out a niche in the rotation and step up his game....instead, it's gone the other way.
