#1. I doin't think he particularly wants to be a Spur.
#2. Oberto success will probably result in Scola wanting even more to start with.
smeagol = Manu
ArgSpursFan = Delfino

count me as another X NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER X fan.
Hey, I'm available...and cheap!
Pepe Sanchez is a great player, but doesn't fit in the NBA. He probably was the best player in our national team in Japan's last world cup.
Delfino has no excuses left though, if he wasn't able to earn playing time after 3 years with the Pistons he has no one to blame but himself.
I'm talking about the buyout of his Spanish contract. Actually, that's on Scola, not the Spurs.
I have to agree with whottt that there were Argentines on the board calling Delfino a bigger, more athletic version of Manu with a better shooting touch. Actually, there were quite a few saying that.
off wottt.canīt stand es.
Whottt, I'm preety certain smeagol found more than half of what you've said in this thread offensive. I see you're still the same ing prick you were 2 years ago, and most likely been your whole life.
All Ariel was trying to do (without insulting you by the way) was express his opinion on the Scola v Oberto issue, which by the way I agree with him. I was one of those people that said Scola is better than Oberto when we drafted him, and he still is.
Why the do you feel the need to insult your way out of arguments? Is it you can't bring a ligitimate take to the table? I've been here long enough to know that is not true, still, threads like this beg the question.
By the way, and because I know you'll turn to insulting Argentinians by way of avoiding the issue, I don't think everything that comes out of Argentina is made of gold. I agree some Argies tend to be overzealous in their pimping of Argie players, but that doesn't mean we don't know about basketball Whottt. Ariel here is one of the most knowledgeable Argie posters here, by a mile, and judging by the amount of filth you've spewed at him in the past few posts, I'd be inclined to think he's probably more knowledgeable than you.
Maybe it's just Ginobili and Oberto, but it seems like their generation of Argentine basketball players know how to play team ball in pressure situations. It's a shame the Spurs weren't able to nab the rights to either Nocioni or Hermann.
Not me.
Lurker since 03, poster since 04.
I haven't posted in this forum for quite that long, but I can tell you that was not the general consensus back in Argie land. Manu has been regarded as the best baller to come out of Argentina long before Delfino came into the picture, at least for us watching anyway.
Personally, I never thought Hermann was all that good... still, I was wrong about Oberto's chances of improving after his first year. Walter could still prove me wrong. Here's to hoping![]()
There is one department Delfino will always trail Manu and that is heart, cojones, nutsack, at ude, guts.
Si,pero lo dijo porque delfino la tiene mas larga.![]()
Nah . . . I have learned to love the little er![]()
If you get offended by what people say on this board, then you're missing half the fun of posting here.
Hermann was the the last 18 games of the season this year. Double figures in 17 out of 18 games. He improved so much when he started getting minutes at the end of the year that I am really looking forward to seeing what he is going to do next year. He could be pretty damn good imo.
You can include chicanos who try to pass as white republicans in your list of hobbies.
Now I'm offended![]()
my bad then, you didn't get offended. I sure as did. Go ahead and find in Ariels posts anything that would warrant that barrage of garbage Whottt just spewed?
And that separates him from 90% of the rest of the forum, how?
I see you're still the same ing prick you were 2 years ago, and most likely been your whole life.

#1. I didn't attack Argies...I attacked newbie Argies.
I see 20 of them per year...they always react the exact same way, it's the same argument I've heard 1000 times, and it's a bad argument that shows a huge lack of insight to the game.
#2. There is a difference between the leagues.
#3. There is a difference between an single elimination contest(as the medal rounds are) and the NBA marathon.
I am insulted every time someone tries to cite the ing Olympics as proof of something having to do with the NBA...
Did you see how bad Duncan sucked in the Olympics?
I don't just mean against Argentina...I mean, the whole ing tournament.
He sucked...if you go by that tournament, Tim Duncan is the biggest choker, clueless and foul prone player to ever represent team USA...
So pointing out the Olympics to me...as proof of anthing having to do with the NBA, automatically brands someone to me, as a newbie fan.
It's a different game, with different rules, and different styles of play.
I don't care how many awards Scola has in Europe...he doesn't have the athleticism to transfer to the NBA without losing a substantial amount of his game.
Manu has tremendous athelticism...it was no brainer he was going to be an NBA success...
Oberto, has none...but he does what he does very well, and it was easy to see he is going ot transfer to the NBA.
I don't...just depends on who I am arguing with.Why the do you feel the need to insult your way out of arguments? Is it you can't bring a ligitimate take to the table? I've been here long enough to know that is not true, still, threads like this beg the question.
And it's not that I feel the need to do so...it just feels better.
Link to where I said you did? Link to where I have insulted Argentines ad hoc anywhere in this thread?By the way, and because I know you'll turn to insulting Argentinians by way of avoiding the issue, I don't think everything that comes out of Argentina is made of gold.
I used the qualifier "newbie" and iI used it for a reason.
And as long as you have been here on this board...you should know exactly what I am talking about.
And I don't recall ever saying that...some of my favorite basketball players are Argentine...
I agree some Argies tend to be overzealous in their pimping of Argie players, but that doesn't mean we don't know about basketball Whottt.

It's SpursTalk....
You're friend got the response he did from me because he proved himself a dumbass by being offended because he wasn't here 4 years ago when people were saying that...
It's not my fault he wasn't here...
thatīs what I think It would happen to Delfino once he finds the way to get some more minutes.
Hmmmmmm.
I wonder why when Buenos Hairys appeared on this thread, MB disappeared.
