Game Thoughts: Spurs vs Grizzlies - Nov. 23

[BeerIsGood!]

Theres no reason to start Barry right now. Barry is playing good ball off the bench and the starting lineup is the TD and TP show anyway. Finley fits well in that role when he makes a couple of shots.


That Barry article was interesting, but nowhere did it say he isn't a chucked solely because of his dad. He just said he doesn't chuck up shots like his dad used to, and with Barry's personality that could just be a wry little shot anyway.

That wasn't what you said...what you said was that my suggestion was Oliver Stone-esque...and as you can see, there was ample reason for me to draw that conclusion. You are now saying...well there's no absolute proof...

Who's the one being Oliver Stone-esque now?


Don't tell me you're another lawyer?


Ultimately...my theory makes a of a lot more sense than saying, he's afraid to shoot or whatever. Like I said...not afraid against the 10-1 Magic but afraid against the 3-8 Grizz? That makes absolutely no sense. Not to mention the fact that his best games have come almost exclusively in big games.

Guy's old man had a bad rep and was disliked for being a selfish ball hog...


If you don't think a lot of kids try to separate themselves from their parents idelogically, by doing the exact opposite...you must have missed the 1960's...not to mention every other generation of youth. Especially when one of the parents was considered, "the bad guy", in the marriage.

I just wanted to say after seeing the so-called highlights, that Duncan's bounce passes are incredably boring. I mean, where's the no-look? Where's the lob? I mean, sure, they led to layups, but fundamentally sound bounce passes = snoozeville.

No wonder your ratings suck!

speaking of that bounce pass... that thing was about an inch from being kicked ... the accuracy of that er was amazing.

I, of course, am just teasing, as I loved the bounce passes. They were amazing. Both of them. The one to Barry to start the break was exceptional, and the one to Parker in the half-court set was one of the best half-court passes I've seen in a while.

[BeerIsGood!]

I never said Barry was scared to shoot, I said the opposite. Im sure Brent had the normal adolescent desires to create his own iden y, but the man is about 16 years past the end of all of that. His NBA game developed as a result of his own unique personality and the coaching he received along the way, not a diabolical plan to be the exact opposite as his father. I'll give you that his dealings with his parents played a role in shaping his personality, but thats not the exclusive reason why he likes to pass the ball and hesitates to shoot sometimes.

Bonner>Scola

[smeagol]

Bonner's in the doghouse already? So much for him being our white horry.

At least he is > than Scola

[Bruno]

While saying that Spurs have made a mistake with Scola and that they should have gone after him instead of Bonner is a respectable opinion, you can't say anything to defend it.
Bonner is a three year nba vet, he has done a lot of good things in this league. You can't put aside these 3 years and call him the worst player in the league because he has had a bad start of the season.
It's way to soon to throw Bonner under the bus. Let's wait a couple of month to see what he will do. There are no reasons to think that he won't be at least as good as last year.

Well, that will certainly have Sequ turning cartwheels.

Its like a play made by three playmakers. Such a beauty.

I guess what makes Nash alley-oops boring is that he does it all the time. You never know when exciting plays come from Timmy.
