Pay your respect to JV here

[lefty]

I don't know if he is feeling threatened by the arrival of Stoudamire or if he just wanted to beat the Suns badly, but Jacques was ready yesterday.

Props !

[Ghost Writer]

F' that.

Stoudamire will start in no time.

[MoSpur]

I was a little impressed by him. He had a couple of nice drives to the basket for layups and made them.

[tmtcsc]

Bull . He's good for 10 minutes a night and most of the time he was SCARED to shoot. Thank God he made enough WIDE OPEN shots to help us win. It was almost embarrasing how resistant he was to shooting the rock.

[Dex]

Vaughn missed more shots last night then he should ever even attempt in a single game.

Sure, the guy was being left wide open. He proved that still does not make him a first option on offense, or a second or third for that matter.

I don't know if it was Vaughn trying to prove them wrong for stepping off of him, or more of Pop trying to turn Vaughn into Parker, but he was single-handedly shooting the Spurs out of the game for most of the second quarter.

[Slohoop]

After only one decent game i can say, good work. But thats all. He still sucks.

[angel_luv]

I am rooting for him.

Just do it, Jacque.

[ploto]

6/15 and 2 assists from a point guard in 31 minutes is something to celebrate?

[sa_butta]

I had a Avery Johnson flashback last night.

[batboy]

Mighty Mouse will be starting no question, but in regards to JV:

He's a solid defensive player, he can at least keep the system from falling apart, and it's not his fault that Mike Fin and the rest of the bench have been vapor this winter. JV was never meant to be an offensive option. BTW assists aren't the only measure of running the O, especially against a team like PHX where we like to make the extra pass.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I don't think I'm going to pat him on the back too hard for his offense tonight, but I was really impressed with the D I saw him play on Nash on a few possessions. It was pretty evident that the Suns had made their decision that JV would have to be the one to beat them, and he did just enough.

[ancestron]

Remember Reggie talking about Jacques Vaughn starting off a season at 0 for 22 when he was with the Hawks? lmao.

He might not be the most gifted point guard, but he is a solid player, and he has a lot of heart and character. That goes a long way, especially with Popovich.

[Budkin]

Props for last night JV

[JBIIRockets]

Props to the Spurs for winning it all despite Kevin Willis in 2003 and Vaughn in 2007.
That shows how great Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili are.

He really played to win yesterday.

It seems he really wanted to beat the Suns

[urunobili]

Thanks Jacque your contribution was a important as anyone else's on the team for the W yesterday!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I almost posted a thread during the first half that read "Jacque Vaughn = Bad Basketball" when he kept getting his post feeds picked off and he was missing 17 foot jumpers with no one within 8 feet of him.

But he did enough last night, and for that I'm grateful. He's definitely not any more than a 3rd string NBA point guard.

[ShoogarBear]

Jacque competes, which is first and foremost what Pop asks of people.

For the same reason, that is why Beno is not here.

[jbspurs]

Reggie Miller was right the whole time.. If you're not hitting from the outside then take it to the hoop. He needs to learn how to cut to the basket! Timmy was doubled team and all he did was stood around the perimeter .. what the f'ck was that? I say good agressive player with low Basketball IQ.

[VaSpursFan]

jv should not be allowed to shot jumpers from beyond the foul line extended area. i cringed every time he shot when he was wide open from the top of the key (a shot he hits with no consistency) because all he had to do was take 2 dribbles in an attempt a closer jumper or get to the rim. he finally realized this in the second half so that was a good thing. notwithstanding, i hope this gives him some confidence in his j. but, he really needs to know his strenghts and limitations to his j, just like Avery when he was a Spur.

[cherylsteele]

and it's not his fault that Mike Fin and the rest of the bench have been vapor this winter.

Mike Finley does not come off the bench he is a starter, except for yesterday's game.

[Go For Tree]

Bull . He's good for 10 minutes a night and most of the time he was SCARED to shoot. Thank God he made enough WIDE OPEN shots to help us win. It was almost embarrasing how resistant he was to shooting the rock.

im with you on that, yeah he had a season high of 17 last night, but what we arent saying is he should of beat wilt the stilt's record of 100 points in a game with how much the suns were daring him to shoot. Beno wouldnt have been a bad option right here either.......... F it though, all hail to might mouse.....at least for now.

[jmard5]

JV deserves props for what he did last night. He competed and he hustled and he defended... and he (even) scored. Is that not what we wanted the Spurs to do versus the Suns?

Now let us see what Stoudamire can bring to the table.

[batboy]

Mike Finley does not come off the bench he is a starter, except for yesterday's game.

Let's not start this. Finley's been playing like trash, and yes he is bench no matter who slots in where on a given night. Otherwise it is impossible to have an ongoing discussion about bench performance given all the moves Popp makes esp. regarding that 2 slot.
