Curtis Jerrells called up to Spurs, sent down to Austin

I was going ‘what the hell?’ after reading the news saying he was assigned to the Toros after being signed up. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think Timmy needs to hang them up!!
They want to get rid of Manu, what a joke, he’s the only guy with any soul. Timmy shot the dummest shots ever, if he’s got a 7 footer defending, why didn’t he face him up and shot bankers, oh no, he wants to take on Gasol… embarrassing… Jefferson disappeared again, McWho did nothing… Hill did nothing second half, Blair (He needs to be yelled out and told to slow the hell down) He resembles more a bowling ball than a basketball player. Mason… should have been damn traded. His agent should be happy he even has a job… worthless… so sorry for Manu, if Manu is smart he will leave the Spurs and go somewhere else… and I can’t say I blame him.

Timmy.. so sorry to say but it was very disappointing to watch him… we are down Parker and we can’t even count on him, I think he needs to take a pay cut or hang them up, that’s 20 mil right there!!! Yeah he’s good enough against lower teams, but not against playoff caliber teams, we need some bigs big time, Dyce and Bonner just don’t cut it.

Friday is a guaranteed loss!!!!

I just think that we need to take less three pointets and rely more on driving and getting fouled in the lane cause our three point shooting is inconsistent. Duncan is still in all star form, but he is simply being too predictable. For example, in tonights game he got the ball at three seconds left. Of course the defender knows he has to shoot the ball, and timmy just goes up and gets blocked. Really? He couldn’t have jumped and fade right in order to avoid the defender and then shoot. His fundamental stuff is just wayy too predictable right now. I also think it’s time for him too take off his knee brace. Man, I’m really missing parker right now. I now realize his value after he is injured. Hill is still not experienced enough to take the reins yet. Fml

No, I’m not a Laker fan… thanks for the insult. Just because I see the decline in a player from our team doesn’t make me not a fan. I’ll say it again, Timmy played well at the beginning of the season but he no longer is the presence he used to be. Yeah he needs help, no one argues that, but he is the main guy, you know making 20 mil a year. I expect something from the guy in the most important games, especially when Parker is out and we have idiots on our team such as Mason and Bogans.

I do appreciate what he has done for the team, but does that mean we should play him until he’s 90. Come on, I’m a Spurs fan - not just a Tim Duncan fan, what’s the point is he scores on a game when we win by 20 an everyone is scoring. We need someone ala Manu who can take over the game when its needed, and that isn’t the case.

If you can’t see that he can’t defend as well and that he moves slower than Miller (k just kidding here) you’re simply blinded by his former glory. (which again I give him all the credit in the world)

Everyone knows to beat the Spurs just take it to the rim and we can’t do anything.

All I’m saying is that he needs to step it up on important games against good teams.

Yeah so we don’t have 4 centers, what does that have to do his performance last night. His offense was non-existing (2 for 11)

Why is it that we can say that Jefferson sucks when he can’t shoot but when Timmy does it its a big problem. Accept the truth and face reality!!!

i saw fear in our team last night. in the first half, the game was being played at a crawl. a heavyweight match with haymakers being dealt instead of flurries. it was a great pace.

but in the second half, we looked hurried, passed up open shots, stopped moving the ball, and took poor shots as well. credit l.a.’s defense. they did an excellent job chasing bonner of the 3pt line, artest and kobe did an excellent job harassing manu, and, at this stage GASOL OWNS DUNCAN!!! timmy needs tony badly to set him up for easy looks and jumpers. duncan is not effective in the low post against gasol. his length is a bother. even though this is true, timmy still took some poor shots. i almost wish bynum was covering him instead.

so why is it that there are so many LA fans here in SA? i understand that this a problem that occurs in every NBA arena whenever the lakeshow comes to town, but it is especially worse in SA. i wonder if it is the latino population that indentifies with los angeles, or is it the years that fareweather fans saw us get crushed by the lakers annually from 2000-2002. it really break my heart to see kobe high-fiving our courtside spectators: all wearing yellow.

i sound like a broken record, but even though we didn’t get beaten by LA’s frontcourt, Ian may have helped in this game. he has been providing some low post offense and he is athletic enough to get defenders in foul trouble. it would have been nice to see gasol or bynum (if he played) pick up a few quick ones and get sent to the bench. blair really has no place on the court against LA. his activity and muscle cannot counterbalance their height. mahinmi would have challenged shots better, although he may have fouled out in 3 minutes….

i really think we match up well. george hill and tony parker cannot be covered by their back court which will only free everyone else up. we still will end up lacking frontcourt muscle.

every time LA and SA play, i die a little

First off, no one deserves anything. Do I want Duncan to finish his career in Spurs uniform? yes. However to say he deserves to for all hes done for the city, i say, have you seen his contract? He got paid very well to do his job which he did and thats great.

As for all the complaining, the spurs are just not a fluid team. When duncan is off they do not have a big who can put up points. There are only 3 good jump shooters on the team, and one was kept out of so many games hes off (mason). They will loose in first round of playoffs no matter who they face.

Here is my simple soluiton, next year alot of roster spots will open up. The spurs need to try and bring home splitter. Then in the draft/FA they need to focus on adding a SF and a SG/PG who can flat out score. And resign ginobli, or else make that 2 SG/PG who can score.

Next years line up: Parker, Hill, SF added, Duncan, McDysse. With Ginobli (or player added), Splitter, blair, Jefferson, and the other added player off the bench.

trade parker, Hill is obviously stepping in quite well. Im currently at Baylor and watched CJ play for two years and watched him get better. He is very well rounded, but does tend to commit more TO’s than desired but he is a play maker and very coachable that would be a nice back up to Hill and would thrive under the guidance of Popp. He is responsible, along with Scott Drew, for turning our Bball program around and now, this weekend, we are heading to the sweet 16. Parker just doesnt fit our current system very well right now. We need a player that gets other players involved. Not a player that drives to the basket every play because he cant shoot the outside shot. Im sick of parker and I think he could be a huge trade asset that could bring us a big man or whatever to make this team click. Ginobili is playing at the highest level all season and I think resigning him is a must. There is a ton of directions this team can go from now until next season…im anxious and a little scared to see what happens post playoffs.

No other spur has played as consistently as duncan this year. Duncan is the only one on the team averaging a double double. If not for duncan this team would be in the lottery for sure.
