Could not agree more. The ability to knock down shots when the offense is failing is a very valuable asset.
Neal is a stone cold mf'er. We'll be needing him come playoff time, some of you clamoring for his nailing to the bench are re ed

I'm not going to argue with recorded stats and he has played more sg and less pg this year but he has been primary ball-handler and initiator of the offense it seems more than 25% of his minutes on the floor. I wouldn't have said much more than a third, would have said a third to slightly over that. I also wouldn't necessarily count garbage time with him and mills or him and de colo towards the start of the year time with him at SG, which could be where the difference comes in. I do still think it is a case of him being not right physically as much as in the doghouse or suddenly ineffective.
The previous two years Neal has shown good moderately good effort on defense most of the time but a lack of instincts, speed and length. In some ways its like Neal as a passer, he tries and when he has a moderate amount of time to think about it he generally makes the right move but it isn't natural for him and because of that it often times doesn't pass the eye test or seem all that effective because it is slightly late.
that boy is radioactive
Spurs need Neal's offense. I still want Neal getting some minutes at SG when the match up is somewhat reasonable on the defensive end.
He's a lethal shooter who can take and make big shots. There's not many players on the team that can do that.
As long as he doesn't have to play PG or defend speedy PGs, then he should get some spot minutes here and there. When the offense has come to a grinding halt, that is also THE time to get him into the game.
There's no problem playing him when they're favorable matchups but I'm not sure how many matchups are favorable for him. Neal couldn't guard Derek Fisher in the WCF and that's as favorable as you get.
As long as yer female & bent over a sink puking.
tee, hee.
DNP-CD tonight, he'll get a few more chances to crack the playoff rotation before regular season's end but it's not looking good for the chucker.
Ain't it nice though that MSM leaves it lay there? No fuss. All quiet. Poop can administer discipline without reverberation of any sort.
Just shows ta go ya.
It's noteworthy that Neal was on the active roster against Denver while Mills was inactive. Whatever was the issue with him (at ude, health, poor level of play..), it wasn't big enough for Pop to shut him down for good.
So it was because of an injury.
HE's been chucking up shots good and bad for most of his stay here, he is a liability everytime he runs the point, and his defense is hot and cold, knowing Pop I think it's defensive breakdowns that cause him to go beserk, this year alone he has gone after Timmy, Manu , Splitter, Green and even Kawhi, but Neal I think has really frustrated him. I met Neal and Pop at a school function 2 years ago and I told Neal I loved his jumpshot, and Pop chimed in, "Don't talk about his jump shot, talk to him about his defense." And he laughed, I guess he's not laughing now.
I thought I posted this here, but during the Houston game telecast, the Houston crew said he was out with planar fasciitis. Sounded official enough.
