I eat on less then 30 day
That is one of the things that has been brought to light. They are athletes required to perform yet they have to eat like crap. I am sure once the league starts making money (if ever) that it will change.
It is just in infancy stage right now and that is how it is.

I hope Ian will find his rhythm back soon because I'm really curious and impatient to see what he can do at the NBA level.
ChumpDumper, what are your thoughts on James Mays?

Mays is a classic tweener. Needs either more bulk or better perimeter skills. I'll post more when I'm not at work.

solid pics
Thanks for the pics. Does Mahinmi look bigger compared to last season? Based on how he looked health-wise, what's your guess at a timetable in which the Spurs will bring him up and give him a shot?
It sounded like the Spurs may have just wanted him there for training camp but now he might stay longer since he doesn't appear to be healthy . . .
Messed up with one of them. Replaced with Ian's dunk pic.
think the team could've sprang for a little bit better chairs for the team to sit on? dang.
he looks pretty huge in the pic...crazy
i think those are the same chairs i saw on sale at Sam's Club...where do they play the games at?
This game was at Bowie High School. The regular season games are at the Austin Convention Center where the players have the standard cushioned metal chairs.
Nice pics. Thanks.
I knew I had one of Hairston somewhere:
Hopefully no other teams pick him up.
They had Ian's playing time limit in mind from the start; that's why they left him in with five fouls in the third. The 14ers have a great swarming defense and Ian isn't mobile enough to counter stuff like being doubled without the ball yet. I can see his being with the Toros for two or three weeks, but I could be wrong.
Those rims dont look 10 feet. And the free throw line in the second pic looks like its about 10 feet from the rim.
Must be me.
It stands to reason that an exhibition D-league game in a high school gym that is designed to help an injured player start to get into shape would not illicit the greatest stat numbers, effort or show of flexibility. Give Ian a break and let's see what he looks like after 5-7 real games at 30 plus mpg.
November 26: AUSTIN
Waived G Jahmar Thrope
I believe that got the roster down to 11, not counting Ian. Looks like they are still trying to decide which point guard to keep out of Robert McKiver and Tack Minor.
Mohammed Abukar was still with the team at the last preseason game, so his injury might not be severe and he could replace one of the big men when he's healthy - either Mims or Dawson.
Has McKiver been that bad that he can could from first round pick to waived?
They both looked pretty lost Saturday, but Minor made a lot of his shots at least. Whichever one they keep, I could see Kris Collins backing up the point before either of these guys.
Can you get Austin Toros Jerseys anywhere? The Logo is pretty slick and the originality/humor of owning one has some appeal as well. Anyone know?
Oh, and who the is wearing 21? Seems a bit strange t'me.
I've only replicas for sale at games. The Spurs Shop only had T-shirts when I was last there, and there are only tees and sweatshirts online. You might be able to call their office to see if you can get one or I could pick one up for you.
That's Serge Angounou. He wore 53 last year. so who knows? The numbered jerseys and shirts have 21 and 9 on them; maybe the staff is trying to make more of a tie-in with those numbers to actual players.
Thanks for the info. And I thank you for the offer to grab a jersey. Really, I just need ta' just check out the Toros schedule and drive my ass up to Austin. Intimate game followed by copious amounts of drink at one of A-train's many fine, spirit purveying establishments? Win or lose I win!
