Very few teams are as fun to watch as the Spurs are when their offense is clicking.

McRoberts plays like a Spur. He would not have to handle the ball so long there and would be coached up to facilitate more like Diaw.

McRoberts is a heck of a player and underrated on this board. Id be perfectly content with him being our starting PF for another year or two.

McRoberts = Diaw without the ability to score out of the post.

I'd take him for 1/2 year more, then trade him to the Spurs for their 1st.

I hate late round first rounders. That is guaranteed money that counts against the cap. For instance id much rather have a second round unguaranteed pick than the 29th pick in the draft.

I'm content with McBob starting here for the next year or two, and hopefully he'd be willing to stick around in a backup role for some years after that, similar to Diaw in San Antonio. He makes the team better when he's on the floor and it's fun to watch.

Starting to piss me off how well Diaw is playing. Should have kept his ass and make him play his way to being traded.

I would hate to play on the same team as perpetual ball hogs Kevin Durant & Russell Westbrook simultaneously. They have a one-track mind, and that's to shoot

i hate watching the thunder play. i really cant think of a great team that i enjoyed watching less (in terms of pure basketball watching). i hate the heat, but i appreciate their passing. maybe some of those early 2000s iso teams like the steve francis rockets compare to the current thunder, or the 2006 heat

Spurs up by 20, Ginobili drives the lane gets a foul, he gets up and nearly attacks Mills for some odd reason.

Now thats a great team. Show no mercy. Jump on someones ass if need be. I've seen Jefferson do it a couple of times, mainly to MKG, but we need stuff like that on our team.

I have seen Jefferson do it wrong too. He doesn't need to pump fake 50 times before every shot we take. I saw him get on Tolliver for missing a wide open three. That can crush player confidence when you miss what was a good shot and a guy yells and rolls his eyes.
