Interesting thoughts.. He said they need to figure out who the backup point guard will be, be it Beno or someone else.
And that they need to work out their situation with the bigs.
They are talking about looking for a young, athletic guy who is 6'9/6'10 to keep up with teams like Dallas and Phx next year.
He's talking about Javtokas, saying he is a big banger to work underneath .. not the athlete they are talking about.
He said Mahinmi isn't ready yet.
Last time they've blocked my popup or somethink like that
Please keep us informing. Thanks
pop called Javtokas a "rock 'em sock 'em kind a guy"
Ya...I picture Javtokas as a Malik Rose hustle type with better shotblocking and hopefully better rebounding, and he can get up in the air...but I've never seen anything to indicate he has any business being out on the perimeter. He is generally regarded as the best defensive C currently playing in Europe though. I will be surprised if Javtokas isn't on the roster as the back up C next season.
He said that he went with Nick over Beno because Nick gave good minutes where Tony could rest, giving them good time without turnovers and running the offense well. He said they were hoping he could give them shots as a bonus (as he had in past playoff performances).
Beno hadn't had the playing time and it wouldn't have worked.
NVE lost confidence in his shot...he was afraid to shoot. When that happens to NVE one of the great balls shooters in NBA history...it is time for him to hang it up.
I don't want to remember Nick the Quick, Nick the Clutch, like he looked in this series...it's just sad. He was a much greater player than he showed in this series and hopfully no one will remember this part of his career when they are remembering Nick Van Exel.
Props to Holt Cat for running off the one big who could play small ball at the 4.
He also said he sees that SA needs an athletic type player, a 'Derrick McKey' type as Pop described it
I found it interesting that when potential bigs were mentioned- Javtokas, Ian, and Scola- that Pop never addressed the Scola issue.
Comment of the show so far is Pop saying the Spurs need a Derrick McKey type. For those who don't remember McKey, he was a long three.
Long three!
Finally
Javtokas is the most overvalued player amongst spurs fans. You expect so much , but...Trust me, I'm telling the truth.
That's interests me.
How come KVH could get some playing time and contibute ?
Devin harris?
Desagna Diop is not that fantastic of a basketball player but he got so much time and it pay off. How come the Pop's spurs bench can't do that?
Is Pop is affraid of taking a risk?
he just saying it wold have not worked , it would have not worked.... rolleyes twice
He is saying that Tony lost some confidence in his jumper in the playoffs and that Pop was trying to get him to shoot it even more.
He said over the summer he expects Tony to probably even add a 3 point shot and improve again.
Now talking about Horry.
Pop felt tony lost confidence in his outside shot in the playoffs. He doesn't know why.
Horry- tough series- not as tough a match-up as for other bigs, but still not his "thing".
Javtokas is the most overvalued player amongst spurs fans. You expect so much , but...
Have you?
I don't think he's overvalued. No one thinks he's starting quality, just a role player.

Actually I haven't seen him play since the end of last season...
He must have gone backwards since then, because he looked good to me at that time...
EDit: Let me clear on what that means...he looked better to me than Rasho or Nazr...mainly because he appears to be more agressive and physical than Rasho and not as much of a dumbass as Nazr.
This does not mean that I think he is going to give David Robinson a run for his money...just that he'll probably be a better fit for this team than the two lumps of we have been trotting out at the C position the last couple of years.
Yeah isn't it 6 years now?Comment of the show so far is Pop saying the Spurs need a Derrick McKey type. For those who don't remember McKey, he was a long three.
Long three!
Finally
He talking about Nazr/Rasho and said he doesn't regret not playing them.
He's saying Nazr still has value to the team .. they aren't playing Dallas every day.
Any regrets about series- not playing bigs?
Not a bit. Impossible for those guys to guard in this series.
If we played the Clippers- they would have needed bigs to match-up. Pop said you have to be versatile in the NBA now for all possible match-ups.
He is very athletic guy, looks ok on photos. But during the game he reminds me...
I saw game 4 of Rytas vs. Zalgiris, his last game, and I really liked what I saw, except the free throws. The free throws looked like he was playing dodgeball with the rim.This guy, Javtokas, SUCKS! Have you seen him playing lately? Have you?
He said that all players whine too much
(This was in reference to Del Harris thinking Timmy whines too much)
