How in the does Dallas lose half their team and all of their rebounders, guards and defenders and they sign Brand and in Kaman and make deals for star players? And the Spurs are still stuck with Matt Playoff Performin Bonner?
Amnesty his ass now!
WTF man???!!!!!
Did Dallas get Hettsheimeir also? Maybe we could get him if Brand and Kaman are both signing with Dallas now...
Chill. Dallas will still be a 6-8 seed in the West. Agree on the Spurs though. Glad we re-signed everyone we needed to but we don't stand a chance with this exact same roster.
The Spurs will get Scola. Unfortunately he isn't even as good as he was a few years ago and doesn't solve the weak interior defense for the Spurs.
Another big who plays below the rim. The spurs will be athletically challenged with a bunch of white stiffs who can't jump on the frontline- Splitter, Bonner, Scola.
sadly yes scola doesnt solve our problems now.Hes not a good defender or a shot blocker long or under 30 lol but if he clears hes the best fa pf left so spurs gotta look right?!?
but they have the coach of the year!
amazing what cap room & desperation can do...
I take it you didn't include Diaw because he isn't technically white?
I don't even consider Diaw a big. It is a joke the spurs have to use him on the frontline. Diaw can also be considered an athletically challenged stiff.
and duncan never was a leaper lol -duncan,diaw,bonner,blair,scola and tiago ftw!!!
Duncan is great although the years are catching up with him. But I don't see him getting much help from that below the rim crowd.
How quickly people forget the Spurs were the best team in the Western Conference last season.
But they were not... the western conference champs were not the Spurs...
Regular season champs!
division champs es
Haha, nice trophies. By "best" I meant skill-wise. Or in other words, they had the best chance of winning the west once the postseason started.
This is Sequ's thing. Starts crybaby threads and complains. He's been doing it for years. You can expect to see one of these every few weeks.
Just like you can expect Killbill to defend Greece or you to defend Bonner.
Stop "expecting" NBA championships. Those days are over for the Spurs. ing about it makes you look silly.
The fact that they can still deliver the best regular season record and a WCF appearance with their aged and aging core is a feat unto itself. That's as good as it's gonna get for Spurs fans for a long time. Don't complain about it; savor it!
I gotta say jettisoning RJ made it much more enjoyable
Ah, crap, thanks for the info. I'll ignore his threads from now on.
Yeah, I'm normally a lurker on most boards, but for some reason I've gotten sucked in by the Bonner thing here. It's not like I think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but he truly is a HUGE part of why the Spurs win. And the way this board not only doesn't recognize that, but actually posts an insane amount of about how bad he is, it gets under my skin. I think it's because I don't like dumb people.
The people who poke fun at Bonner, or at me, that's great, I love it. The people who think he sucks but are open and willing to listen to my arguments (ElNono for example), they're great too. But the drooling re s who spew vile hatred and represent all that is wrong with San Antonio as a city (SeanCagney for example), I just have no respect for at all.
I agree that he's a huge part of why the Spurs win. Which is why it's so ing frustrating when he goes in the tank every year come playoff time.
Having a genuinely useful player who never holds up his part when it matters most is in many ways worse than having a terrible player, because at least if you have a terrible player, you get used to working around his terribleness and are prepared for it.
And before you go on about statistical significance, I don't care. The simple fact is that he was useless against the Thunder in particular, because they didn't even have to pretend to cover him around the perimeter. You can see it on the game film. They could play a collapsed defense set up to stop our inside scoring and gleefully ignore Bonner in the process, and Bonner did absolutely nothing to make them change that strategy. At that point, you might as well play a garbage-collecting defensive specialist with no range, because the defense collapses either way, and at least he gives you putbacks, plus he helps you more on the other end of the floor.
So... you're suggesting Blair should get playoff time?
tbh, I've been fighting the good fight () when it comes to Matty for easily 4+ years... back in the day, there weren't that many Matty haters, and frankly most people bought into the +/- king thing, and the 2nd coming of Horry "space the floor" savior narrative.
While I can't necessarily say you've introduced a novel aspect to the debate, it never gets old to re-hash it, and see fresh faces coming along to discuss it.
Oh, and I don't hate Matty literally. I actually have met the guy personally, and he's very personable and seems like a good guy. I just want him out of my team
