WTF is a Prodigal?
Ignorance is blaming the coach for that foul. The defensive scheme doesn't matter. You let the player go. Now come with a real point or shut the up.
WTF is a Prodigal?
In French, prodigue.
even before the '03 playoffs, jack was one of my favorite spurs. i liked him when he went to atlanta, and indiada despite the brawl and his at ude with that team. it would be great to get him back. instead of the barry-smith trade, we should try and go for jack. not only is he an athletic addition to the team, but he already knows the system,and the fans like him. bring back ACTION JACKSON
how was he guarding dirk? Dirk got hte ball on the left corner behind the three, drove to the basket and manu came from the right bowen area at the far edge of the court
He seriously used every ounce of his speed and athleticism to get that foul
Here's a point: Manu hit the three that put them up in the first place.
Okay. They should cut him.
...and promptly gave it away.
I find it hard to beleive you negate Manu's contributions in 2005 because of that one foul on Dirk. If Jack made the play and averaged 21ppg in that series on efficient scoring %'s then he wouldn't get the blame for losing the series.
But he never did have an consistent, efficient and productive offensive game as a Spur. He had a handful of excellent and ballsy playoff performances with a bunch of awful to poor ones mixed in (on the offensive end).
I am not sure if his offense would be much better if he came back, but it might be an upgrade over Ginobili/Finley/Bowen most likely, but not by much. Jack would be better than Finley on defense for sure, but not by an ridiculous margin.
Jackson has more explosiveness scoring wise in comparison with Finley, but he is also going to have nights where he takes several poor shots and drags the team down in that sense.
I am not sure if I would want Jax back. It certainly wouldn't be a bad thing, but I am not convinced he would change the complexion of the team a lot. He would be an excellent swingman to have for his good defense and ability to hot from the outside. But I certainly wouldn't play him more than 30mpg unless Manu really was struggling physically, or Pop really wanted to save him for the playoffs.
Spurs can get a guy who's just as big, more athletic, rebounds better, turns the ball over less, handles the ball better, even PG like, shoots a much higher percentage, above .500, for less than one third the cost and not have to trade to get him.
Qyntel Woods.
Guy is a complete ghettoed out in' punk. Not the kind of player the Spurs go for. The Spurs are a class organization. I can't remember the last time a Spur got in some kind of the trouble other teams players get in to. He's caused problems on every team he's been on and throwing haymakers in the stands?-Nice. Also he has some of the worst shot selection in the game today, makes "Starbury" look like John Stockton with some of the fadeaway, hand in the face, 18 showing on the shot clock, 20 foot foot heaves he throws up. No thanks.
Agree...but will he be available?
I also liked Woods the times I've seen him (...in defense too) and the knicks have so many players they could forget about him...!
Funny. I guess Jack wasn't a "complete ghettoed out in' punk" when he helped the Spurs win a championship.
No chance Jack puts up 20-5-3 as a Spur like Sparky suggests.
More like 14-4-2 in 35mpg. But even then he would be a below average efficiency scorer. The advantage would be that he could easily give you a half a dozen 30pt+ games. The downside is he is turnover prone and can easily have a handful of games where he plays big minutes and goes 1-10 and commits several turnovers. But in this system Pop would just yank him or play Bowen or Manu extra minutes. So it would balance out.
Jack would be a little better than he was in 2003. Which is a solid defensive SF who is erratic on offense, but capable of big games. All in all a decent upgrade over Finley/Barry, but not by a HUGE margin.
"Shoot you into games, shoot you out of games."
"Play you into games, play you out of games."
Speedy/SJax
What it could've been...what it could still be. Come back, h0mies. =(
Jack plays big in big moments. Also, a team is going to be hard pressed to stop a Spurs lineup of TP/Manu/Jack/Horry or whoever/Duncan from scoring. Regular season scoring averages don't mean that much.
SJax brings a lot of what Finley does, but is a more body-up type defender.
His physical presence would bring something this team doesnt have, and desperately needs.
I'd be totally cool with bringing Jax back. The Spurs could use an edgy player. If not Jax then Qymtel Woods.
I know there's character questions with Qyntel, but I never knew what they were.
Anybody know what the deal is with him?
Woods made news headlines in 2004 when he was arrested for animal cruelty relating to his pet dogs. He pled guilty to first degree animal abuse, for staging dog fights in his house, some involving his pit bull named Hollywood. Hollywood, and Woods' other pit bull, Sugar, were confiscated, and Woods was given 80 hours of community service and also agreed to donate $10,000 to the Oregon Humane Society.
In response to this news, the Blazers suspended Woods and eventually waived him.
^ Blah.
That's not even that bad.
He's also been suspended by the NBA for drugs before.
No thanks...Spurs could use their money more wisely..if he were a true SF, maybe, but at $28 mil over the next 4 years for a backup SG..nah
Ok now that's bad...especially for the Pop type players.
