WHY ARE THEY PRACTICING LONG BASELINE TWOS???

Post #43 » by **Def Swami** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:19 pm

Some of the saddest floaters I've ever seen. Tony Parker is rolling over in his grave.

why waste time trying to get to the rim when we can just take long twos?!

I DO NOT think this will be effective in selling season tickets or ticket plans for that matter.

YAWN.

I wonder how many people taking pictures with AG are the same ones that booed him at the draft party. lol

So if Victor is well enough to dunk like that why couldn't he do the scrimmage as well?

Oh, no! Did Tony Parker die?

They're probably holding him out of contact right now. They're being extra cautious. No need to rush him during pre-season.

Like I've been saying for the longest. Tobias is more likely to play PF and Aaron will play SF.

Yup.. AG matches up with 3's defensively much better than Tobias. Throughout the preseason AG was at the 3 and Tobias was at the 4. I'm not sure why some feel so strongly that Tobias is a pure SF

AG wasn't working with the bigs in the practice either

Thanks Adam. Seems like everyone was in a rush to cut the interview short.

It doesn't matter now anyway. There are no minutes available at the 4 and 5 if you believe John Denton's report that Dedmon is the primary backup at center now. Maybe you squeeze in a few here and there with certain lineups.

I was next to Channing while he was riding the bike and he said those were more lay-ups than floaters. Got a good laugh out of that.

O'Quinn said about 25%.

I wouldn't put much stock into what Denton says. I don't think JV is feeding him his rotation plan at this point.

"You thought that was serious Josh?" :lol:

To clarify, he said that's about 25% of how hard they usually go.

Don't ask him about his 3-point shot either!

Kyle definitely has an edge to his demeanor late this offseason. Good to see.

Dipo looked really damm healthy in that empathic dunk.
