Gary Neal Filling Needed Role for Spurs

[Sean Cagney]

Keep it up Neal! I am rooting for you.

I said this same thing about 1 or 2 season ago. I don't trust Matt Bonner to shoot with the game on the line or in high pressure situations because of his shooting mechanics.

.

This and dude is flat out horrible in big games, he freezes up and dissapears! Why did they resign him?

Problem with supposed "pure" shooters for the Spurs in the past (see Hedo, Fin and Mason) was that they needed to get regular/consistent minutes and starting positions to get in their groove.

So far Neal has shown otherwise. 16 points in like 15 minutes? When did Finley EVER do that? Maybe he had a 15 minute stretch where he put up big points, but that would only ever be in the context of 35 minutes (20 minutes of non production and 35 minutes of terrible defense).

Hopefully Neal can fill the Steve Kerr role of 2003.

I like his huthle. And his muthle. And his sthwagger.

As long as Pop doesnt make him play point... Or PF in a small ball lineup.

That was a joke, Pop. Please don't try these things.
