2014 Spurs Summer League Thread

Neal hit a season saving shot and scored 20+ pts in a Finals game, if he didnt turn out to be particularly valuable then not many player ever do I guess...

Very true. Then he went 0 for 5 in the next game against Memphis. If you think hitting a clutch shot that makes the difference between being eliminated by an 8 seed in six games vs being eliminated by an 8 seed in five games is particularly valuable, then I guess we have to agree to disagree. Gary's a good shooter when he's on, and it's the reason he lasted as long as he did with the Spurs. However, that's all there is to his game and there's a reason the Spurs let him go.

I don't agree with your premise that the Spurs SL roster is made up of scrubs, Ayres, Daye and Anderson. It's only advantageous to your point that other players couldn't step up in the absence of Ayers or Daye. But, neither is that true or could it be proven. What would your counter-position be had the Spurs lost the game?

I wasn't trying to be that insulting towards them. Just being flippant. But, bottom line, they're all marginal players fighting to make a final roster spot on a team...any team. If they're not scrubs, they're not too far off from the definition. Whatever the official definition is. Insert your own word if it suits you. I am glad you have so much confidence in them, but I've watched them play some pretty ugly ball this summer...and when Anderson, Daye, and even Ayres were off the floor...it got even uglier.

Ok, they're scrubs.

NBA scrubs.

Now what?

They're pretty old too by summer league standards.

Cotton looked like he had a good game, just looking at the box score. little man managed to grab 5 rebounds

So what?

What is your point?

[littlecoyotecoin]

Ok, they're scrubs.

NBA scrubs.

Now what?

Exactly. They're scrubs, too. Just not "the other scrubs".

You answered your own question. Now we wait and see.

So is Morris. And, I'll second the so what?

The others aren't even NBA scrubs.

They are summer league scrubs.

Doesn't much more disingenous than that tbh ...

I already said what I think will happen.

What do you think will happen?

Gary Neal wasn't a difference maker tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

Cleveland eliminated by Houston tonight.

Have we seen Wiggins' last game in a Cavs uniform?

Aren't they doing a loser's bracket this year? Thought everyone got the same number of games this season, though I guess that was just an assumption on my part.

Keep digging.

Actually, you didn't unless you hid that post from view. I think Daye/Ayres will end up with roster spots unless Baynes is resigned, in which case, Daye will be cut. Anderson will probably start the year in Austin. Green, and Cotton will be camp invites.

Much better game than the last couple.

[littlecoyotecoin]

They are summer league scrubs.

We have reached an accord, yet again.

I did. You just failed to read.

. I think Daye/Ayres will end up with roster spots unless Baynes is resigned, in which case, Daye will be cut. Anderson will probably start the year in Austin. Green, and Cotton will be camp invites.

Daye doesn't have to be cut to sign Baynes. Austin doesn't start playing until after Thanksgiving.

[Obstructed_View]

His man didn't go off on the entire team, so there's that. He had a couple of good passes and some good shots. He's physical and fearless. Hope he pans out, though I'm not overly optimistic.

I had gotten the impression it is lose and go home, thus my point to this guy that the best way for us to see the other guys is to make sure we get another game, to insure more playing time for everyone. Maybe I am wrong.

They are doing a loser's bracket, and Cleveland should be in it. But I don't know what it will be like.

I doubt Anderson goes to the Toros.
Neal never went to the Toros, except when he was recovering from his appendectomy, and Anderson has a lot more skills than Neal ever did, and certainly better defense. Neals' only advantage was his 3 pt. shooting IMHO.

I think the teams that lose in the first round play each other and that's it.

Looks like you only get one more game after getting beat.

That's what I saw as well.

It's single elimination:
