I still think Jerrels and Penney are the next cuts. Cousin bought himself more time.

Coo-zahn was the surprise of the game. Definitely has potential.

With all due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.

Thoroughly agree, ma’am.
Penney may benefit from some Toro’s Time… other than that… knife!

Iullaby’s recapitration of today’s preseason game of the San Antonio Spurs v. The Houston (aka The City of Syrup) Rockets:
Manu Ginobili did not evolve into GINOBILI!!! but, it’s only preseason.
Cousin is pronounced KOOO-ZAAAAHN!! Also, he was very impressive
Penney is not ready for the NBA and, maybe, not ready for the D-League.
Arejay evolved into Rayje and unleashed his new abilities on the Rockets.
TeaPee smelled less like Tea Pee and more like healthy excrement.

We look great, guys. (and my hands hurt)

With all due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.

by CapHill on Oct 8, 2010 2:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

So…. if one of the goals of pre-season is to identify who’s gonna be the backup SF, why was RJ in the game for over 30 minutes? It seems to me that it would have been useful if the backup candidates had been played more, in that spot, either with the starters or likely rotation players. That said, I guess playing RJ may have been a show of Coach’s confidence in him.

Pop can’t say that Blair has no moves anymore…. I’m liking the strength and depth of our front line.

Our vaunted team of sharpshooters has yet to demonstrate their effectiveness to me… 4 for 16 is not gonna get it done/

Hey, if posting a sharp, insightful, yet non-sarcastic comment were that easy, even olf would do it.

by freshtunarightofftheboat on Oct 8, 2010 12:07 AM CDT reply actions  

Since RJ has been re-working his game, I’m thinking they need him to do it with the team in real life situations. Thats the only way it’s going to stick. There’s more time to sit down with him and evaluate his game film when there’s less worrying about winning the games and your regular season record. Gist, got a good amount of time. Simmons as well. Gee’s the only one who really didn’t get time.

Very good point. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re right. We worry about the backup SF after we make sure of our starting SF.

Keep the faith!!

by Heman on Oct 8, 2010 12:23 AM CDT reply actions  

Penny and Jerrells are probably next up.

The team played well.
The surprise of the game definitely was Cousin.
The starters looked good.
Blair’s hard work looks like it is paying off.
RJ definitely looks more like he belongs/feels like he belongs better. His numbers definitely make it look deceiving.
