Great photo
This photo just shows why we're going to struggle, Blair is almost an inch shorter than Manu, this should be interesting.. Blair vs. Gasol
You just figured out that Blair is undersized or what?This photo just shows why we're going to struggle, Blair is almost an inch shorter than Manu, this should be interesting.. Blair vs. Gasol
Pop probably will (and should) test it out in one or two of the regular season games, but Blair probably wouldn't start in a playoff series against the Lakers. I've got to believe that if the Spurs play the Lakers or the Mavs, McDyess is starting for sure.This photo just shows why we're going to struggle, Blair is almost an inch shorter than Manu, this should be interesting.. Blair vs. Gasol
Since Blair has no chance at adequately defending Gasol, what Pop should do is put Duncan on Gasol (Duncan ends up guarding him a lot anyway) in order to neutralize him and Blair on Bynum. Blair's bulk should be a better served guarding Bynum, who's a more limited offensive player than Gasol. He'd still struggle, but it probably wouldn't be as pronounced. Also, there's a chance the Lakers could get lured into trying to take advantage of that match-up almost to fault, to where Gasol isn't getting enough touches.
Pop is going to have to get creative to play Blair against the Lakers. Here's another match-up I'd like to see: Blair on Artest, as opposed to Odom and have Jefferson guard Odom (I'm talking in brief stretches, not as something to rely on for significant minutes). Although with Blair's improved quickness, he should be given a shot at guarding Odom again before going to this. Gasol, there's no point.

Blair's legs are separated further than Blair's, so he is actually just as tall a manu.This photo just shows why we're going to struggle, Blair is almost an inch shorter than Manu, this should be interesting.. Blair vs. GasolDoes that make it any better?

« I need markers »
San Antonio started the season with a victory over Indiana 122-109.
Tony Parker: » We did good winning the first game of the season. We are happy. But there’s a long way to the real Spurs. For instance, we can’t let them score 65 points in the 1st half. Our defense isn’t that good, we’ll have to work on it and make the appropriate adjustments . Offensively, it’s pretty good even though we lost too many balls (14). Personally, I’m pretty satisfied (20 points and 9 assists in 39 minutes). But like my team I need markers. I feel a bit rusty after six months without any compe ion. I missed a lot of easy shots. But if I can play the whole season with an average 20 points and 9 assists, I’m in right now ! (Laugh) »
Tony Parker At a spurs appearance!! Love those trophies!! Ahhh ahhh
Tony Parker Game tonight vs charlotte and my friend Boris Diaw. But only a victory matters... Match ce soir à Charlotte et mon ami Boris Diaw. Mais seule la victoire compte…
Tony Parker 9 games, 8 victories. The season couldn’t start better… 9 matchs, 8 victoires. La saison ne pouvait pas mieux débuter…
Nothing
This divorce crap better keep Tony focused!
It better light a fire under him and scorch his defenders to the hoop.
Tony Parker hey everybody been a long time!! thanks for coming out last night another BIG WIN lets keep it going GO SPURS GO!!! une grosse victoire pour les spurs faut continuer!!!
LMAO at Duncan hiding in the very back.
Hill with one of the ugliest suit ever!!!
I mean WTF with the baggy pant? It's 2010!!!
Tony Parker o. You can read my interview on my website http://en.tp9.net/. Bonjour. Vous pouvez retrouver mon interview sur mon site http://fr.tp9.net/ Denver tonight. Let's go for number ten. Ce soir Denver, on y va pour une 10e victoire.
TP is back
After a month of silence, TP is back on the net.
Tony, how do you analyze the 24/3 of the first part of the season ?
It’s the first I make such a good beginning of season with the Spurs. It is anyway the best in the Spurs history. Usually, we start slowly before getting a move on at the end of February after the All Star Game. But we talked about it in October during our training camp. We said we had to make a good start in order not to chase victories and ranking. It was our problem last year, we started badly. It was difficult to make it up later in the season. So far, we are keeping our goals. And, most importantly, we have more home games. So it is important to win at the ATT.
How do you explain the Spurs success today ?
We play like we did last year.The only difference is that the whole is in a good shape, which was not the case last season. It changes everything. Besides, Richard Jefferson is at his best, the bench is successful, like Gary Neal yesterday vs Phoenix (22 points). Gary is a good draft. Gregg Popovich knew immediately it was him at the Summer League. He ‘s making a very good start. But sometimes, it’s Matt Bonner, McDyess, Hill…
Could you break Chicago’s record of 72/10 ?
No, it’s impossible to reach. The Bulls’ record will remain unbreakable for a long time. It’s huge.
Do you think about the le ?
It’s been the same thing for years. When you’re a Spurs, you play to win the le. Even last year but with all our problems, we couldn’t play our cards. But you have to go step by step. The most important is to win games and improve to go all the way to the playoffs.
What’s your personal balance after 27 games ?
I feel great. I got my legs back. I’ve known a pretty difficult time in November regarding my private life. But I got back on the horse, I had to be at my best for the Spurs. And it paid back : I was the best Western Conference player of the week. I’m very happy, it shows I’m in good shape.
Are you satisfied of your 18 points average, (50%) and 7 assists ?
I wish I went on like this. When you play in San Antonio, you share the ball with Duncan, Ginobilior Jefferson. You can’t shoot 25 times per game, it’s impossible. I’ve had 50% scoring for years, I don’t want to go under this percentage. As for assists, it is thanks to Manu, Richard or Matt scoring success. That’s how I reach an average of 7 assists. Unlikely some people may think, my assist figure hasn’t improved, I just have a better reading of the game.
San Antonio has played on a half court for years and has now totally changed its game becoming the 4th best offensive team of the League. Do you enjoy this game system ?
Of course, but there’s one important thing to keep in mind. You have to play defense to win. You don’t win because you play offense. And it’s been true for years. So we’ll have to improve our defense if we intend to be in the first places of the regular season. We are aware of the importance of the floor advantage in playoffs.
Are the Spurs in the favorite teams to win the le ?
Yes, but the Lakers and Boston are before us. The Lakers are champions so they are candidate to their own le. I put Boston second because they’ve always been there for years. They play really well. And then the Spurs.
Thanks for the heads-up Bukefal.
Nice little piece from TP although nothing groundbreaking its nice to hear him talk about the role players and how our nitro-offense affects his game.
Tony Parker Hey another comeback win feels good let's finish off tonight and enjoy christmas !!! Une autre victoire ce soir à Orlando et Noel sera agréable !!!
