Softridge isn't a bad defender though.

"YOUNG"

Rajon Rondo was suspended for Monday's game because of a verbal altercation with assistant coach Jim Boylen. Several reports said Rondo threw a towel in Boylen's face, but Rondo wouldn't confirm that detail. Boylen used to serve on Gregg Popovich's staff in San Antonio. Before Thursday's game between the Bulls and Spurs, Popovich was asked if he'd ever take a chance on a great player who had an at ude problem. "As long as he promised ahead of time not to throw a towel at me," Popovich said.

lol Boylen

Thibs needs to stop taking timeouts. You are down 10+ with like a minute left. Just take the loss and stop acting like a .

The guy screams from the top of his lung all game long like a little , I hope someone punches him in the mouth b/c it's absolutely annoying.

[Ron Swanson]

McBuckets had 5 baskets in the game & he scored 3 of them against Kyle in less than 2 minutes for a total of 8 points.

Manu wasn't even on the floor so I don't know where you got the "Manu got torched by McBuckets" theory.

...I already went through that long ago. I don't have your stamina to keep going at this... He got fouls drawn but Mc buckets was Manu's man. Kyle was assigned to Snell. It was an early season game that he was not trusted in yet, him coming in making a mistake early was enough to pull the plug on him. But Kyle was assigned to Snell...

When you originally brought this up long ago I went into detail... even looked up the play by play and the video of it. I don't care about that right now and I don't even care to dig up the thread where I actually went through all that trouble. I am not conceding a point... I just don't care about this enough.

[Ron Swanson]

Lopez looks like the Bulls found him in a dumpster.

[FaM0us Skins]

Good defense

[DPG21920]

TP looks good . Got two great looks for LMA right away

[DPG21920]

Damn! That would have been such a great LDN sign to get that steal then a 3.

[RD2191]

Refs

[spursistan]

Thibs is probably the most hated coach by beat writers.

Terry Stotts is equally annoying..

[SAGirl]

Tony looks spry that is a good sign.

[Ron Swanson]

Shoot the damn ball.

[RD2191]

someone shoot

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge just ing hates open shots, don't he

[SAGirl]

damn lost possesion

[DPG21920]

Gasol giving replacement Gasol the business.

[DPG21920]

Pretty good start . Team looks to have sufficient focus/energy, offense getting some decent looks (a few tough ones too) but rebounding and defense is solid.

[bklynspursfan]

It's not that..

I have my reservations that he's 100%. He's very prone to doing this thing when he comes back b4 he's really ready... doesn't play well and Pop has to sit him. I hope to be wrong, but I don't think he has a good record lately with his alleged quick returns from injuries.

I mean it was just a knee to knee situation, those don't tend to be serious. There's no way Pop would have him back unless he was confident in he was 90-100%. When guys get to this many years, they probably are never 100% anyway lol

[SpurPadre]

Did Webber just say TD is resting?

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi's advanced defensive stats will go up if he keeps playing Jimmy like this.

Parker looks great, giving bigs all the looks but they pass them up like they have a case of Fatheaditis

[Robz4000]

Great defense so far from everyone. Offense is still helter-skelter but they're getting open looks.

[Robz4000]

Did Webber just say TD is resting?

Until March.
