Love you LDN, but you needed to hit that.

[bklynspursfan]

No good

[bklynspursfan]

This is going down to the wire, it wasn't going any other way.

They'll pull away

Yep. Good look. I was surprised he didn't nail it. Would've been pretty big.

[Ron Swanson]

Rudy is killing them.

[sasaint]

They'll pull away

"They" would be the Grizz, and "we" the Spurs?

Pop won't play a traditional center type. There's a big reason why he has Gasol and Aldridge shooting threes and why someone like Dedmon had his minutes dwindle last year.

Maybe you are right.. but I think for a 3rd center type you aren't going to have the most skilled guy or anything, just need a guy who can gran a rebound and have 1 offensive skill. I think the problem for Lauvergne is that I haven't seen him be good at anything on offense, not 1 single offensive skill.

He's not a good PnR big, doesn't finish well in the paint.. he showed some post moves, but that was preseason, against real bigs in the NBA I haven't seen him be good in the post, at least Davis can shoot, but obviously he doesn't offer a bigger body.

I don't have the answer. I suppose Pop lets Joff duke it out for a few games and see if he improves.

[bklynspursfan]

Pau and Murray both with Butterfingers on that possession

[Robz4000]

Grizz refusing to go away

[sasaint]

David Lee would had fit that 3rd big perfectly but who the knows what happened to him that he had to retire. He could still rebound, finish in the paint, pass, hit mid-range and do all the things Pop wants.

What is Dijon trying to prove by yo-yoing the ball head-high - even if there isn't a defender close by?

[tholdren]

Heres another game for the plus minus lovers... not smart
