Stoudamire a Spur soon?

[ceperez]

Big question, at 5'-10" can he defend?!

We already have problems w/ Parker at 6'-2"

[P2]

i think its a good move. certainly cant hurt us.

Certainly will hurt you defensively. But overall he will help you.

The team defense will help a lot, though. Also will have more energy and direction to play defense, and being experienced and wanting to win a ring, shouldn't make him bad defensively. He just has to give the effort, and he should. Also must know what to expect coming onto the team.

If he doesn't defend effectively enough, his role will be reduced. That's how it goes with Pop.

A certainity? Definitely not. A fair possibility? Yeah.

He can bring the ball up the court, and hit 3 pointers. A worthy backup point guard for any team.

Just to follow-up on that, if Boston actually does get Sam Cassell, the same thing goes with him defensively. It goes both ways.

I think it's a great move considering we're not going to have Tony Parker for the next 3 weeks i think and also no Barry. I mean, if the team was healthy, i don't think i'll get excited at all about this move.

Anyways, the good thing is that when everyone gets healthy, i expect Damon to beat out Vaughn for the backup spot. Manu really is a one man team with the 2nd unit. I understand that it gives him the confidence and the green light to fire at anytime, but with his shot selection becoming worse, a steady floor general and scorer like Damon can really help the team's 2nd unit offensively.

^ I agree, it also makes teams respect Damon alot more than Vaughn, they won't so easily be able to double team Manu for fear of Damon nailing a three..

I just realized today that I haven't been keeping up with Stoudamire's progress in San Antonio so far. How's he been doing for you guys?

[Ballings7]

He's had his ups and downs

He has been a serviceable back up. Gives us a nice change of pace vs Vaughn, gives us some more aggressiveness on offensive vs the steady play and defense we get from Vaughn. He could be hitting his shots at a little higher clip though. But he's been selective with his shots at least.

[Magz50]

He hasn't been shooting too well of late, but he brings veteran leadership and smart plays to our back up game. He showed some nice defense as wel last night.

[johnnyjohnnyjohnny]

In the games that I've been able to see he's basically been a non-factor.
