2014 Spurs Summer League Thread

They are doing a loser's bracket, and Cleveland should be in it. But I don't know what it will be like.

Looks like you only get one more game after getting beat.

I think the teams that lose in the first round play each other and that's it.

That's what I saw as well.

I had gotten the impression it is lose and go home, thus my point to this guy that the best way for us to see the other guys is to make sure we get another game, to insure more playing time for everyone. Maybe I am wrong.

It's single elimination:

I doubt Anderson goes to the Toros.
Neal never went to the Toros, except when he was recovering from his appendectomy, and Anderson has a lot more skills than Neal ever did, and certainly better defense. Neals' only advantage was his 3 pt. shooting IMHO.

I think Neal had time to drive to Austin before they called him back.

He could if he's inactive and the schedule allows it as it did for CoJo, Baynes and De Colo.

I expect a few assignments of varying length. It's going to take some time to figure out how to best use him and the pace of the D-League will be pretty beneficial for him.

I guess I didn't read closely enough.

I would think Pop would want to get him acclimated to the system as quickly as possible, but then I thought the same thing about Tiago and it took him a year.
I guess we'll see.

Wizards won tonight, so we face them on Saturday.

Porter and Rice Jr.

All I can say is that Errors defense is worse then his offense no way can you keep him.

As far as Anderson he will probably play a large a amount of time with the Toros not saying he is bad but he needs to work on his shot and his defense. Plus he is going to have to add about fifteen pounds of muscle to be able to handle the big in the NBA.

The only good thing about Daye is that he rebounds really good but he just comes across as a rich brat I don't know why? Maybe it is the way he plays like he doesn't care if he does good or bad just passing the time.

I agree we should be looking at other teams summer roster to see if anyone is better then Green....He deserves an invite.

Future of the franchise right there.

Just one more "consolation game" after elimination.

WANTED: Jeff Ayres for stealing $3.5 million from the San Antonio Spurs

REWARD: You can take him and have him play for your team free of charge

LOL at Ayress been taking out of the game in crunch time by Udoka cause he wanted the win... Man, this guy sucks, so fool on the court!

Um, he played the last 2:49 on the lineup that went from up 2 to up 9 in that time.

He may suck, but you failed to actually watch the game and just bragged about it.

I watched the game, with about 5 minutes to go in the game he got replace, then in the last 2 minutes Udoka brought him back out of compassion...

I'll cliff-notes it. Green was taken 30 picks after Daye. He got cut by a new administration and proceeded to put up strong numbers in the d-league. He caught on with the Spurs and didn't stick until Pop and Williams told him to focus. He was a starter by his third year, but he put up strong per-36 stats his whole career. Pretty much, Green is just a better version of the player he was when he won a national le with UNC. He just needed someone to stick with him.

Meanwhile, Daye was a mid-first-rounder who's been struggling to market his best skill. He got 12 times the number of minutes over his first two years than Green did. He put up decent rate stats, but he was a net negative for most of his career, ad opposed to Green, who was one of the most impactful on/off players on the team during his third year.

I like Daye, but he'll have to prove himself in an entirely different way than Green did. Danny was always a super role-player. Daye's justa guy with talent. The Spurs will have to mold Daye into rotation player, whereas they just had to fit Green in.

Really nice take.

Anyone else noticing the crawl on NBATV has completely wrong stats for the Spurs game?

It has Denmon as the leading scorer with 10 points.

[kobyz]

McRae is a top 5 best player in the summer league, are you sorry RC trade him away for that euro trash?
