glad to hear currys lost some weight and seems motivated
a 7ft motivated curry on a the cheap is better than undersize blair, let alone any big out there on the market who wants a big contract with teh recent overpaying for big scrubs

He'll get better yet.
While I'm with you on hating Bonner and being pretty meh on Blair, I think the Spurs did well to re-sign Diaw. There's no money to do anything else unless you want to unload Jackson's expiring and Leonard together for a quality big in a move that mortgages the future for the present (which could be justified depending on how good a big they'd land with that package).
That's the excuse they use but they're not even looking.
He looked pretty fat tbh.. I'm rooting for him, however.
tweet of the year:
Ok that's pretty good.
The regular season argument for matt is only valid if winning a fifth is not a priority because he is useless from the very minute playoff commercials roll out. For his size he sucks at rebounding and really has no intestinal for ude. I know its hard to find a big these days but id settle for a slightly undersized energy guy than a guy with size and no heart like bonner.
He's got that nasty look in his eye. Can't wait to see this team fight for that ring!
It has been a long time since we've had a legitimate "bruiser" type on the Spurs. If Blair was tall it could be him but he isnt. I think we should keep Curry.
He just looks like he's seconds away from being out of shape
LoL, gotta have some optimism. You're right though, we will see how mentally strong he is in the coming days/weeks (this is probably the area he needs to impress Pop in the most).
Regarding Curry, I hope he didn't work this hard to just wash it away. He's wasting his own and other peoples' time if so.
Yeah I totally agree. I would think he's motivated and didn't lose all of the weight for nothing, but it may be something that's out of his control.
Dang that's a big dude. Scowling, tatted up, got the fro, and don't give a f!!k. Man I hope he can find a place with this team, and thereby nudge Bonner into the abyss. Unless he's a total lost cause (a definite possibility), one would think that the vets and coaches can get him to walk the line. BTW, his wrist looks kind of gnarled up there.
Bonner... he is guaranteed to stick around when his playing days are over, ala Danny Ferry, Sean Marks, JV. Pop just LOVES him.
he hasnt got alot of minutes, is pop playin it safe he knows what he get from curry, or more due to his health?
eddy curry was beasting tonight turning back the clock
pros
-actual low post player with front up and back to the rim game
-team defense still collapse on him when he receives it down low
cons
-slowbro
-looks lost on the court, but once he learns the system he be fine
-defense, not expecting much besides good positioning and active hands attempting to play any form of defense altering shots
we have ourselves a former legit franchise player who use to posts +20ppg, what he must understand now is his not a franchise player where plays wont be made for him..so he must focused on setting plays like hard screens and other stuff that doesnt appear on the stat sheet, was hoping the wankers on the court would actually lob it down low to him when he had good positioning, he open up the court once the team defense collapse on him.....he is a major fkn upgrade over blair, bonner, splitter
Curry confident he'll make the team.
http://airalamo.com/2012/10/13/eddy-...make-the-team/“I feel I’m in a good situation,” Curry said. “I worked hard this summer. Every game it’s just about showing everybody what I can do. I’m trying to focus on defense and rebounding, trying to play in the system and soak up as much as I can.
“I think I’m going to make it. Until they tell me I’m not, I feel like I’m part of this team.”
Yep, and he actually starts to suck the month before the playoffs, look it up he starts his downward spiral as soon as he sees the month ahead lol. He just seems to start to get scard when it starts to matter and his % goes down.
I don't see how he could affect bonner's minutes too much. Isn't he some one that would cut into Blair's PT, not saying that's a bad thing.
Curry has a 7'6.5" according to draftexpress. That's longer than Thabeet, McGee, DeAndre Jordan, Brook Lopez, etc.
A bad sign for Curry's chances of making the team is that Pop hasn't given Curry any time in the regular rotation yet. He's just been playing him with scrubs so far.
Tbh, I'd love to see a lineup with Duncan and Curry just to see what it could do.
I can only imagine what all the tiago groupies would say if Pop tried Curry next to TD
