Well, if you think jumpers, then I hope he is this year's Jaren Jackson.
TPark- I know what Kersey did for the 99 Spurs. I am hoping big dog can still hit those jumpers.
Well, if you think jumpers, then I hope he is this year's Jaren Jackson.
Well, at the very least he isn't a Hedo Turkoglu. If he's open, he's gonna shoot. He is similar to Ron Mercer but Robinson has three point range.
He doesn't have to play great 'd'. He just hast to buy into the system.
Since when did Ghost Writer, rascal, Aggie Hoopsfan, and SequSpur join the front office?
Why do you guys always act like Pop is a miracle worker?
Wasn't he going to turn Brent Barry into a defensive player too for the same reasons? Ron Mercer? Etc?
Did playing with Shaq turn Glenn Rice into a defensive player?
What the ? Aren't we already a godmanned good neough defensive team as it ing is? What do you want, to hold a ing team scoreless? Aint going to happen...defense isn't the ing problem, it's not why this team loses... ty offense is. You can't ing have Michael Cooper or Dikembe Mutombo at everyu #@%@$%#@$% position.
You might be right about that...maybe it was that they traded for him before Brown left for Detroit or something...In any case, I don't think you can judge this guy by his Philly year, AI seems to have a lot of issues with scoring forwards.BTW, I dont think Robinson was in Philly when Larry was there.
I think he was there last year, and it was Chris FOrd, and others.
TPark did he even report? Maybe he pulled a Jim Jackson? Pure speculation though^^^ Exactly.
One thing that DOES bother me, is there is a reason New Orleans didn't want him.
The Hornets, I mean, thats a little worrisome.
Wasn't he going to turn Brent Barry into a defensive player too for the same reasons? Ron Mercer? Etc?I don't think Barry and Robinson will get too many minutes together.
lol whottt, read what i said, and read what you said.Why do you guys always act like Pop is a miracle worker?
Im talking about big mean, Rasho, Duncan.
Big guys that are good defensively hide the defensive insufficencies of swingmen.
Settle down.
BTW, Pop is a miracle worker.
He took some kid that couldn't play for the freakin Nets, and made him an NBA Finals champion.
Took a undersized power forward, and made him a god among the Sequ's of the world.
You are right, I was thinking of Jaren Jackson. My brain is mush after a 10 hr Monday. Mybad.
think for a second, about, if he WAS out of shape, if the Spurs would have bothered signing him.this guy wont be in shape
my body is the same way, Ive been stuck in Yuma AZ for over a week and the dust has destroyed my respirotory system.My brain is mush after a 10 hr Monday
Ill be back home wednesday afternoon though.
Hopefully in time for the Spurs VS Clippers.
My first game since January 29th.
TPark I live in N AZ and it is blowing like up here too. I hate this weather and dust.
Have a safe trip home and I hope you didn't get valley fever while you were in Yuma.
no, I got clogged chest, and unable to breath fever.
Hopefully I reclaim breath in west texas.
I wonder if they worked him out before they signed him. I would assume he's in some kind of shape.

wow that is a long time. I will be heading to Tuscon AZ for the next couple weeks. I have to call on some customersdown in Nogales. Is it windy and dusty in AZ right now? It is crazy how so many people on the board are in AZ.
This trade is a great idea. he can come in and give 5-10 very productive minutes. Last time I checked the spurs usually have a 5-10 minute lull at some point in the game.
Yeah...like Duncan and Robinon hid the deficiencies of Elliott against Kobe in 2001....
Jax always had offensive ability...and he wasn't that great of a defender here...he was just better than poor ole Smitty. Jax lacked discipline...and I do give Pop credit for instilling that in him...Settle down.
BTW, Pop is a miracle worker.
He took some kid that couldn't play for the freakin Nets, and made him an NBA Finals champion.
Robinson just sucks at D...some guys just ing do...they just move slower on D and don't have the mindset to play it...that doesn't mean they can't help your team immensely...
Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Barkley were 3 guys who sucked on defense....
The Suns went from lottery team to best record in the NBA by adding the worst defender in the NBA.
Gave him a chance...what he didn't give him was his drive and determination.Took a undersized power forward, and made him a god among the Sequ's of the world.
Right...and if he's half the player he once was he's about 70 times a better player than Dion Glover.
Dion Glover was another guy who hustled like but couldn't contribute offensively. Whottt is right (I know I'm a newbie, but that felt wierd); we need a player who can come off the bench and score. As far as defense, here's a small silver lining. Bruce Bowen sits when the guy he's guarding (usually the other team's cheif offensive threat) sits. If Robinson's in shape, and can shake enough rust off to hit some shots, I suspect we'll have a guy who can give us a plus points situation in the minutes he'll play.Seriously wtf!
I thought G-Love was working out pretty well here...then they just go and throw him out the door and sign Glenn Robinson?! Why is this happening so damn late in the season?! This is crap, and I'm bitter!
Youth movement. Expiring contract.One thing that DOES bother me, is there is a reason New Orleans didn't want him.
No one would've stopped Kobe that year, but I think Bowen would've slowed him down more than a 1 legged Sean Elliott did.
Come on, Duncan Nesterovic will get his guys funnelled to them.
Thats the scheme. Funnel all players to the baseline and let the bigs shut em down.
Settle down whott, Im not saying hes gonna be Bruce Bowen numero dos, but hes not gonna be Ron Mercer either.
But whottt, to win championships you HAVE to play SOME defense, you can't just discount it totally.
If you think you can, you didn't pay attention in 03.
wow.
didnt see that one coming.
spurs have nothing to lose here, big dog can prove to be a very pleasant surprise, and if he is...we win. I like that.
When Spurs news breaks, SpursTalk.com fixes it.....Where does Spurs news always break?
When is the last time the Spurs had 3 current or former all stars on roster (99, Robinson, Duncan and Elliott, now Duncan, this other Robinson and Manu).
More I think about it a great pickup.
I'm not expecting any defense. I'm going to give him the Chuck Person treatment -- if he hits shots, I'm happy.
P.S.
I find it odd that Whottt thinks dog fighting > domestic violence. If he hit his wife or girlfriend, he's lower s then a guy who makes his dog fight.
