WOW and I thought this board couldn't get any better today,
nice one
so you want RJ to shoot 4-26 in the playoffs?
OMG...(loud cough covering up my LOL)
Welcome to ST my friend !
Only one game great game out of.... a lot...... and dude is our Kobe ..........lol
even now, Duncan is still the best player on this team lmao
Hey stoopidz! this tread was started at the beginning of last year! Try to keep up!
RJ is our Kobe?
Did he go fishing in Colorado?
RJ is better than kobe! look at the shooting percentages
Manu should always close our games and last game against PHX was a fine example of why.
With Parker and Duncan assigned for the final 5 possessions the Suns simply clogged the lane.
That´s why Manu comes so usefull on last minute posessions, he can always shoot the three or assist someone near the basket or make some of his unortodox penetrations.
No player on our team has the variety of shots Manu has.
George Hill was, by the end of last season, the player i was hoping to emerge as our second most complete player, he already has the 3pt, the midrange and somehow a penetration, he should be more consistent with his passing so his own lanes open a bit more.
only look at the ones where rj shoots better %
I respect the idea, but I just don't think it'll work. I agree, he's here to be Elliott not Kobe. He's obviously become a different player than he's ever been over the offseason, but if he would have to start shooting 90% from the field every night and get those 28 points to become the first option haha, I just don't think it can/will happen.
As far as I'm concerned our kobe is Manu. BTW what the spurs need is a Pau
to pair with duncan and take over the franchise after tim retires
How's a guy who's already 30 going to take over the team in a couple of years when Duncan retires? jw
The expectation for Jefferson should not be similar to Kobe Bryant. Jefferson is not one of the best three players on the Spurs. That was the problem last year, people expected him to be more than he is. Jefferson needs to be a 15 ppg player who occasionally goes for 25-30.
I will say that right now, after a summer of intense free agency, the only major red flag was the overpriced contract that the Spurs gave Jefferson. If Jefferson's play continues to be like it has the past week, his new deal will make the Spurs take second place in the free agent signing this year.
Credit must go to the front office for making some pretty good moves between resigning Jefferson, which no one wanted, signing Tiaggo, Neal and drafting Anderson.
A 34 year old center at this point of his career.
Why the are people taking this seriouisly? It was a thread made a year ago....and it was re ed then. Funny folk.
honestly, the spurs cant pull off the 1st/2nd/3rd etc option. This type of offense goes well woth a team like the Lakers: Kobe-1st Gasol-2nd etc. if the Spurs want to be a true contender we need everyone to contribute as much as they can per night. Whether its Jefferson taking the 3's or neal scoring or duncing posting up or ginobili shooting lights out or parker driving in... we need a team effort. Spurs have to read a chapter from the Celtics book. Everyone contributes, everyone gets credit! that's real Spurs basketball
....
Fair enough, lets go fish for one. Im sure the Jordans and the Kobes are a dime a dozen.
This is silly, Manu is in the top 5 in the league in scoring avg in closing games ( not sure if it's 4th quarter of last 5 min). Plus like Kobe , Manu is a creator , who creates his own shots or situations for others. RJ is none of this, RJ scores best feeding of others, he plays great along side a passer like Jason Kidd or Manu. He plays best of the ball rather than on the strong side when the offense is set. How is this anywhere remotely close to Kobe ?
You missed the point tbh.
The OP stated we need a kobe = a kobe like player, I say we don't need a kobe like player we need a Pau like player (to stay on the lakers stuff) meaning a big.
Since Jordan no team is winning without a dominant big and sorry but since 2007 tim is no more a franchise dominant big at least during the POs.
For this year to have a chance IMHO we need health obviously and we need Tiago to be way over expectation.
