New to pounding the rock

Hi guys,

I've been following this blog for a couple of years now and I've just joined. I live in the Bay Area, near San Jose, and for some reason, in the midst of laker and warrior fans, I took liking to the Spurs since I was in 6th grade, a senior now. I know last year was somewhat of a disappointment (although many teams would kill to win 50), but this year, everything looks to be in place for a couple more swings at the 5th championship.

Just wanted to say hello.

Linix, that’s hilarious. Without really knowing, of course, I always thought of you as one of the younger guys too. Hilarious. I wonder what it was? Maybe your old avatar.

Anyway, busted preconceptions are fun.

Oi oi oi

And what…you don’t like cricket?!!! Blasphemy. Whats the punishment for that down under?

Shane Warne used to give me nightmares. And I think Ponting is like Gasol, effective, efficient, very successful(at least in laker uniform) and quite annoying.

Welcome to PtR, denso. Unfortunately, the Spurs weren’t able to pick Patty Mills, but it’s all good. Hopefully he’ll still do well in the L.

by silverandblack_davis on Jul 14, 2009 2:24 AM CDT up reply actions  

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome…

yeh was really hoping we could pick up mills for the last pick, but i’ve seen some highlights of nando and he seems pretty good… Also i’m a huge fan of George Hill i really like his game, so i really hope he’ll get majority of the back up pg minutes.

Also Mills just broke his foot.

More Cali-dwelling Spurs fans. This is a good thing.

Welcome, forgo, it’s good to have you with us. A couple of years of lurking before joining seems to be pretty normal. I did the same myself.
