I believe Pop is serious about Tim/Tiago, I don't think it'll change when KY gets back.
After weeks of only seeing the light at the end of the tunnel Friday's game will feature both of the Spurs small forwards on the active roster.
Since Popovich didn't start Diaw or Blair along side Duncan and Splitter during the absence of a small forward, is this a clue that he will not start Splitter since Leonard and Jax are back? Does it correlate?

That Nando De Colo can play in the league.
We are still lacking at the PF/C spot (Blair/Bonner weak links).
Diaw against certain match ups, can play SF.
Playing Diaw at SF makes him better on the offensive end, Blair will continue to be the worst player on the team for the entirety of the season, Bonner is actually pretty useful in the regular season as a change-of-pace-in-the-3rd type player, De Colo is clearly the best option for back up PG, and Neal still sucks even playing SG.
I think Bonner's effort on the boards and on D have been commendable.
Green should never again play SF.
That's one of the positives.
Pop's newfound commitment to the Duncan - Splitter combo is the one thing that gives me hope that the ceiling of this year's team will be higher than last's.
I hope so. I remember that a pretty good frontcourt. If you get by KL's long arms you got two 7 footers waiting at the rim. It will allow us to shrink the court and play better defense on the perimeter.
Green cannot play SF in the NBA.
or PF(Porland game)
Pop also went with a lineup of Parker/Mills/Ginobili/Green/Duncan in the Denver game.
He used that lineup with Neal instead of Mills in the late 4th and OT at Houston last week.
That he needs either Leonard or Jack at SF.
he learn when stern is not entertain cost the org 250k
I think he learned that if Blair's punk ass finally gets injured, for an extended period of time, that he should test out Tyler Wilkerson.
Apparently James Anderson's still not ready for the big leagues.
is there really a difference between james and green?
Yes, an overly generous contract.
At first, I thought this was a silly question. Then I took a closer look...
D. Green Statistics - Per 36 Min
J. Anderson Statistics - Per 36 MinCode:GP MIN PTS FGA FG% 3PA 3P% FTA REB AST PF +/- Overall 25 734 12.1 10.8 42% 6.7 38% 0.6 3.9 2.0 1.9 3.4
While JA has a much smaller sample size and did most of his work in garbage time, his stats are better than Green's nearly across the entire board.Code:GP MIN PTS FGA FG% 3PA 3P% FTA REB AST PF +/- Overall 10 94 13.0 9.6 44% 4.2 46% 3.4 5.4 3.4 2.7 15.7
They are also tied for DRtg, and Anderson has the better ORtg.
Still....I would take Green over Anderson any day. Anderson has flashes, but he is a streaky scorer and a terrible ball-handler.
i think Pop learned that Small Forward is a completely legitimate NBA position that you can't simply ignore and plug somebody else in
Yes, JA can pass and play defense against SG/SF
no way JA shoots %46 from three over 36 min. green is a much better 3 point shooterAt first, I thought this was a silly question. Then I took a closer look...

These stats are what they are. What do you base your statement on, Intuition?
I think Green has the better 3pt stroke overall, but I also think especially this year is shot selection is much more suspect. Its kinda a catch 22 -Green is trying to be confident in his stroke and raise his game another level but that often results in him taking difficult shots or doing too much. In his short stint with Spurs, JA was clearly not as confident in his stroke which resulted in him be alittle more hesistant to let it fly at times, and most of the 3 pointers he attempted were pretty much wide open and in the flow of the offense. Given bigger sample size JA percentage comes back down some, and if more of Green's attempts were similiar to the majority of JA's attempts, Danny's percentage would certainly go up
