Preseason is upon us. Tonight, we finally get our first look at the new and improved Spurs roster on the court. There wil also be a couple of guys fighting for a realistic shot at making the final roster, trying to show off their game. Here at PtR, we're also trying to raise our game in time for the new season. Find out more after the jump.
So, I gave myself a little assignment during the offseason... an assignment that I didn't bother to start until a couple days ago. What was it? Changing how our game previews look. The look from last year was pretty slick, so we're still using a lot of the elements from that version, but we've decided to move some things around in an attempt to organize it better. Now, this is a preseason version - there's going to be a bit more info included when we get to the regular season previews. These previews will also be separate from the game threads during the regular season, because of the way traffic to the site exploded over the summer.
 Houston Rockets @ San Antonio Spurs (Preseason) Where: AT&T Center - San Antonio, TX When: October 6, 2009, 7:30 PM Spurs time Watch: It's probably on local TV in Texas, but the rest of us are out of luck.

 Manu Ginobili |
SG |
 Jermaine Taylor |
Everyone's favorite Spurs player from Argentina returns(because I haven't heard otherwise) - and Battier is out, so Jermaine Taylor probably gets a lot of minutes here for Houston, as do Roger Mason and Keith Bogans for us. |

Who? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Richard Jefferson |
SF |
 Trevor Ariza |
Ariza was a favorite target for the affections of many PtR regulars last year, myself included. However, one can't help but be happy about the SF that the Spurs ended up with. Get ready to see more of Chase Budinger than you ever wanted to. Mike Finley will probably get some run, but the big battle is happening further down the Spurs' bench(which we'll address in a minute) |

 Tim Duncan |
PF |
 Carl Landry |
I honestly don't know if Timmy will play in this one, but the starters aren't going to get a lot of minutes anyway. Expect to see lots of DeJuan Blair vs. Pops Mensah-Bonsu(remember him?) at this position. Chuck Hayes and Marcus Haislip would also seems like locks for good minutes. |

 Antonio McDyess |
C |
 Luis Scola |
If Luis and Antonio play, don't expect it to be for long - but expect Luis(remember him, too?) to win. Joey Dorsey and David Andersen can be expected to get most of the court time for Houston, with Theo Ratliff and Ian Mahinmi getting the bulk of minutes for the Spurs. |

 DeJuan Blair |
Bench |
 Pops Mensah-Bonsu |
This was alluded to above, but now we can see what kind of differences exist between two exceptional offensive rebounders. Also of note - will Ian be able to dominate players that are either smaller or slower than him? Since Tony's not playing, you can expect Curtis Jerrells to get some run as well. But the big battle is still going to be between Malik Hairston and Marcus Williams, who are both trying to get the Spurs' final roster spot. |

Intangibles: The Rockets have some smart players, but the Spurs probably have the highest collective basketball IQ in the league. Advantage Spurs. Mojo: The Rockets are decimated by injuries to two of their 3 best players. I think all of us are familiar with that, so let's keep our fingers crossed. Advantage Spurs. Winner: It's preseason.. who cares? But the Spurs would win this in the regular season, so let's just go with that. |

Some Other Reading
Rockets
The Dream Shake: The SBN Rockets blog. Good stuff abounds there, but it's not quite as active as PtR. Plus they constantly rub it in our face talk about how great Scola is.
Rockets Buzz: The Houston TrueHoop affiliate, which hasn't been updated in quite a while.
Spurs
48 Minutes of Hell: Tim and Graydon are awesome. If you don't already read 48MoH, you should... right after you come out from underneath that rock.
Project Spurs: This is a pretty slick fan blog, and they usually have good content about the Spurs.
Manu's twitter page:
Kyle Lowry: Luis scola wants to know If I have any argentinians following me?
Manu Ginobili: @Klow7 1 Argentino here, but with waaay less hair than the 1 playing w/u. btw, he keeps telling me that u don't pass him the ball enough…
Where to Tune In
TV
We're out of luck on this one. Preseason games are not even being aired locally, unless Spurs.com is wrong.
Online
Please don't post links to illegal game feeds in this thread. Links to illegal feeds are not permitted on SBNation, but you can probably find them out there on the internets if you're resourceful and desperate. In fact, nobody can stop you from googling "atdhe".
Spurs League Pass audio is still free, I believe.
Radio
If you're in the San Antonio area and aren't near a TV, tune in to WOAI (1200 AM).

Wow…new ownership. Less freedom eh. So no more feeds? I was planning on getting league pass for more pleasant viewing, but this makes it incumbent to do so. So do we all get on a separate chat where we can post stuff? Maybe a mailing list, google wave, wiggio etc etc? I hate restrictions.
The new format looks cool. Although, imo, I think you should combine the ‘white dot’ with the match-ups : put it next to their names or something. And use the current ‘white dot’ space for some other cool stat or even a graph showing some valid season trends at the current juncture. Maybe thats too much work lol. As always great work Rikkido(am I right? Tim C <=> Rikkido).
The “white dot” thing vexed me. If I tried to put it next to the photos, the alignment kept getting thrown out of whack. But, I like the way you think. And yes, you’ve discovered my secret identity. :)
We might be able to work something out for the feeds, but I’m at work today, so I sadly won’t have access until at least the second half.

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Given that we are in preseason and we are still refining the template I will put my “picky” hat on and offer some hopefully constructive criticism. The “How they stack up” section is off-center. The nice interesting paragraphs in the “Matchups” section could use some extra padding on the right (some space away from the white edge). Otherwise it looks great rik!

Yeah, it still needs some tweaking before the regular season, but I’m glad it’s getting a positive reception so far. Oddly enough OCLatinD said the same thing about the right-side margins, so we’ll probably have that fixed for the Olympiacos game.

Disclaimer
Since this is the first game for both teams, and because of Houston’s injury situation, the lineups are just a guess on my part. This is another thing we should have a better idea of by the next game.

I'm going to have too call BS
You know the legal knowledge to know which tv feeds are legal and which are illegal? Do you call up the nba offices and ask?
Or are we guilty until proven otherwise? Or do you automatically assume it must be illegal cuz its on the internet?
Quit being such a joke and grow a pair.
What the heck are you talking about, Cody? I’m all for the freedom of information, but to question the illegality of the feeds is silly.
If you know so much about TV feeds, just how exactly does this policy affect you? And if you really have trouble finding feeds without checking this game thread, why not be clever about it and read between the lines?
I wasted hours pasting feeds in the last two years. If I can deal with it, you should be able to. “Quit being such a joke and grow a pair.” isn’t a good 4th post.

He asks in the original for you not to post feed links. That is how it affects me, i can’t come here click on the comments and find you posting a url to the link.
If the authorities or whoever they are don’t worry about closing these “illegal” game feeds then I doubt they will worry about a website with comments that link too “illegal” game feed.
I would liken this to you owning a restaurant and see someone taking some pills. So you immediately jump into action go over them and ask them to not take illegal pills. They could be legal, but heck your the restaurant owner you don’t want to risk illegal stuff going on.
As for Tm C.’s assertion that any internet feed that is not Nba League Pass is illegal I would have to disagree.
Okay, let’s use your analogy. In it, Wayne would be the glorified waiter, and the owner of the restaurant would be SBNation. Now, the owner tells you that people can’t take pills in the restaurant, and that if he allows it he’ll be fired. Maybe it’s all bluster and nothing will happen if the owner see you taking those pills, but why take the risk? So if you like the waiter (and he’s a damn nice waiter, who treats you well), the least you can do if you want to save him the hassle is go to the damned bathroom when you need to take those pills.
Works?

If it’s an internet feed, and it’s not NBA League Pass broadband, it’s illegal in the US. The end.

Well Cody. ‘We’, as in this website gets some privileges under the new ownership or umbrella. Wayne, LD and bunch of the others does all the hard work while the rest of us sit around and have fun plotting the fall of the Lakers and Cuban. Privileges include watching ‘clueless Wayne’(bella will gladly provide you a link) in Spurs practice facility and player interviews exclusive to us. Game passes and umm…post game press access? Plus I am sure a bunch of other tangible insider access. Seriously that is good stuff.
Comes at a bit of inconvenience but the resourceful always finds a way. Like SCS suggested, we can ask Wayne to just do the work and kindly sit in the corner during game threads.

Why don’t you grow a pair, get your own site, stand behind your BS you’re writing here, and STFU? Just saying. If you feel so strongly about what I should be doing, maybe you should do it yourself.

I thought I got one of those four to work, but all I see is chinese firedragons and the number 69 (I swear). I have three of those programs open, which could probably be the reason why none of them work. But I’m giving up for now. I’ll do it earlier next time. I’ll go and read other PTR posts now.

He takes Ratliff’s spot. Bonner could be gone and Finley is gone so that is where we can get some salary space.
We also have a new MLE next year. So, there’s that. If they could split it between Splitter and SpurNando, that would be awesome – but I don’t know how long Nando’s contract with Valencia runs.
