GT: Spurs vs. 76ers 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Mon Dec 7, 2015 3:38 pm

When: December 7, 2015 5:00 PM MT
Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA

Despite the fact that Jahlil Okafor will be returning from his two game suspension this should still be an easy win for us. We just gotta stay focused and play our game.

Go Spurs!!

No Timmy and no Leonard

Looking forward to watch Kyle Anderson and hopefully some Boban too 8-)
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

Not surprised to see Timmy sitting but I would of loved to see Kawhi rip apart this Sixers team.

Sounds like we're going to watch the Red Rocket starting

Pop is trolling the NBA seriously :lol:

Man, I expected to win but 65-29 in the 1st half is crazy. I feel sorry for Brown tbh

I was expecting a win but this is outta hand. I give the Red Rocket all the credit for this almost 40 point lead.

I really really really like Simmons game. So explosive off the dribble.

Well, no wonder. He was destroying Euroleague last year. He's definitely better than Porzingis right now. It's just that Spurs are so talented, so he's unlikely to get much playing time... But he might be one of the best contracts in the league. And definitely one of the top backup bigs.

Can shoot, can rebound, can finish strong, can pass, array of post-moves, ridiculous screens & pretty mobile for a 300-pounder... for 1.2M a year.

I still expect Pop starting to use him more (15-20mpg) later on in the season when he will want to give Duncan/Aldridge some rest. I think Boban will prove to be very useful. At least against the more traditional, bigger teams like Memphis.

No he's not.

Boban's got some soft hands (which is unusual for someone his size) and some good instincts but he's still limited by his lack of mobility on both ends.

He's a nice 3rd string big right now and maybe he'll eventually become a rotation piece but I can't see him being anything more than a guy who gives us 10-15 minutes of low post scoring, some rebounding and five fouls.

Porzingis is a beast, a franchise player. Boban is a role player as Nolan says, a 15 minute guy. Looks like he'll be a solid 15 minutes and a great addition to the team but let's not exaggerate.

Anyway, this game was embarrassing for the league.

Boban is better than Porzingis right now. Porzingis is a franchise player yes and he gets minutes and touches on a crappy team to show it. But Boban is better right now because he's at his prime. I followed them both since their Euro days. You guys really underestimate Marjanovic, wait till he plays more for you, because you simply haven't got enough information on him. I might bookmark this thread for the 'I told you so' moment.

It was in garbage time and we had a near 50 point lead so don't read too much into his play, he also travelled twice on that play.

Okay... you do that.

I've watched a decent amount of Porzingis this year and he's a lot better than Boban is basically everyway and the Knicks aren't exactly a crappy team, they're 10-12.
