Re: Around the NBA 5.0
Very few teams are as fun to watch as the Spurs are when their offense is clicking.

Re: Around the NBA 5.0
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.

Re: Around the NBA 5.0
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.

Re: Around the NBA 5.0
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.

Re: Around the NBA 5.0
Starting to piss me off how well Diaw is playing. Should have kept his ass and make him play his way to being traded.

Re: Around the NBA 5.0
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

The Heat would kill this Thunder team.

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

Re: Around the NBA 5.0
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.

It is sad that on here that isn't near enough protection.

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.
