yea he sure looked good tonight. first recorded double-double. he missed some easy shots though. we'll have to see how he progresses
Why else would we devote so much effort towards improving a player if not to aggrandize the strength of our major divisional rival?

@ a player the spurs groomed producing for another team
you mean ANOTHER
Memphis and New Orleans want to know when Pop is gonna cut Blair and Splitter.
How many total players can Spurs devote a pick, time, resources, the Toros to, just to give them to a divisional rival?
We need to figure out a player we can draft and give to NO and Memphis
Ryan richards?
I am happy for Ian. Very nice to see him get minutes and produce (although he usually did when given minutes).
Hopefully it continues...
Ian lovers checking the box score after every game waiting for a day like this so they can create an "i told you so" thread.
12 points, 10 rebounds and 1 block versus the Warriors.
I don't give a who the opponent is. That's a good stat line from a bench player.
I know those numbers are diminshed, in the eyes of some, because NONE of those points came from behind the arc, but still a good showing from a reserve big man, that the Spurs had no use for.
lol you are hilarious.
The "strange case of Ian Mahinmi" was a unique one that I never figured out. Why they never gave him even a chance is beyond me. I think they saw enough to know that even though he has certain talents, there is something there that will always limit him. Otherwise it makes no sense why they would let a tall, athletic guy like Mahinmi go for nothing after spending so much time trying to develop him.
Of note is that he only played 20 minutes and altered numerous shots as a shot blocker.
His injuries hampered his opportunities. But Pop didn't do him any favors either. He misses a lot of opportunities to get him minutes.
I was fortunate to catch the game, Yanny had a very impressive performance.
Most specifically on the defensive end and on the boards. He contested and altered several shots at the rim and had beautiful pick and roll defense (his hedging on Curry and Ellis and his quick recoveries).
For the Ian haters who didn't see the game and only glanced at the box score, there's a reason why Carlisle went to Yanny over Haywood to finish the game.
Ian always got to the line at a pretty high rate IIRC. It was one of his best qualities. He was a solid FT shooter as well. I just don't get why he doesn't finish some of his dunks more often?
He is an awkward kind of athletic.
Predictable Spurstalk reaction after seeing a tweet saying Ian Mahinmi had 12 and 10
Or after watching the entire game, foolish.
eric b fat ass didn't watch the game ian was a beast he had them scared to drive in the lane ....
yeah cuz only rich people with thumb stomachs have access to league pass
Ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
