No way is this gonna happen. Bowen is first team all defense and couldnt shut dirk down. If the guy is this good he would already be in the NBA.
I think it's a of a plan. He's built like Nowitzki and the only thing different is he is an inch smaller. But on his profiles they say that he gets most of his points by getting offensive rebounds and putting it back in, so if he can out-jump people on the down-low he should be able to jump really high, so he can contest Dirk's shots really really well. And according to spursreport.com, the Spurs and Javtokas are finalizing the contract and in the first few days of free agency he should be signed. IMO he'll be able to put the smackdown on Dirk and we'll be back in the finals in no time!

Shouldn't we get Javtokas on the roster first?
Anyway, Duncan and Bowen are the only ones who can realisticly take on Dirk
Nope.
Javtokas is taller then bowen
not saying he will shut him downnoone really knows because noone has seen enough of him to know
First we need to see how good is Javtokas and if he is a good player for NBA or not. Then we can talk about: who can stop Dirk.
Right now only Bowen and Duncan can guard him in the SAS team. But nobody can stop him 100%, he is unstoppable.
javtokas will make dirk his biatch
Stupid comments like this are the reason there is constant bickering between mavs fans and spurs fans. Grow up
Well this is a Spurs board, and if a spurs fan is a bit excited about a new arrival, that is certainly our right. Do I think Javtokas can make Nowitzki his beatch? Certainly not. But that comment does not equal 1/100000000th of the bull-crap that comes out of Cuban's mouth. So I would humbly suggest that you be the one to grow up. Perhaps you should worry about the plank in your eye before you worry about the splinter in others.
Im not trying to instigate more trouble, im just saying that comment was uncalled for. And by the way spurs fans have every right to be excited about a new arrival, although i don't believe he is the answer for slowing down nowitzki when you already have the best person for the job(Bowen).
Funny because you're the one who start to make a stupid comment :
Do you know Javtokas ?
Have you seen him play ?
The answer is likely no for both question.
Saying what a guy is able or no to do without knowing him is stupid.
Grow up.
Javtokas will come in next year to do what we were missing, rebounds (O + D), put backs , etc. you can beat the mavs by letting dirk score 30, all you have to do is stop his supporting cast
Ok, you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. I'm done, not giving anyone a reason to start anything.
Exactly. This isn't called Spurs&MavsTalk. Mavs fans shouldn't be reading this because in this website, Mavs fans aren't welcome. No Pistons fans no T'Wolves fans no Lakers fans. Just Spurs fans.
Do we get mod powers after 45 posts? I had no idea.
I doubt he's even comming
I'm rude with you but I don't get why you post on a guy you don't know.
Well I think this is the opposite extreme. I am not a mod on this site, but IMO all fans are welcome on this site. They just might need to realize that some Spurs fans are going to be excited about there team - and might exagerate a bit. It's all part of the fun.
Back to the topic :
Javtokas can do a decent job an Dirk (better than Rasho/Nazr) because he is more mobile. He won't shut him down but I rather have him at PF than Finley.
if javtokas can do a decent job on him, it frees up bowen to guard other people. that would be good enough for me.
Bye bye Nazr....
Spurs fans are acting like Javtokas is the answer because we need him to be. From what I've seen, it's even money that he's even as good as Oberto.
Javtokas, as a first year player, will be highly foul prone. Not good against Dirk "Mr. Glass" Nowitski. It's bad enough when a swipe at the air near him gets you a whistle, much less a clumsier center trying to guard him.
There's probably some truth to this, but ESPN's Chad Ford (I think) gave Javtokas an "A" and called him NBA ready. So if Spurs' fans are deceived - we aren't the only ones. Plus I think it's easier (but no guarantee) to judge how well a player will do defensively as opposed to their offensive game. And Javtokas' defense is highly regarded. I've just got to believe that he'll be better than Oberto- it would be hard to be worse than Oberto
Put his ass in the summer league to see how well he does there.
