About time the Spurs got a primetime slot. Well, not that it matters since it's just the Summer League. And we still don't have any idea when DeJuan Blair will play. Boo.
Five things why you should watch this game:
1) It's going to be on NBA TV. Yayers.
2) We're playing the Clippers! I know, I know. Not much to be excited about there but a quick glance at their roster shows the name Blake Griffin, although I think he hasn't played yet and maybe won't bother suiting up for this one either. But they do have intriguing rookies in Eric Bledsoe, Al-Farouq Aminu and that Baby Shaq guy from Greece.
3) Anytime you play both teams from Los Angeles back-to-back, even if it's Summer League, you have to watch.
4) Gary Neal's rainbo-- I mean, three-pointers. He's a gunner. That's what he said.
5) Squeakeh!

Its been the Alonzo Gee show so far in the summmer, but Gary Neal has been putting on a shooting exhibition. He reminds me of the guy we hoped Jack McClinton was supposed to be. He deserves more of a look and the Spurs should invite him to training camp.
This is the first Summer League game I’m going to watch this year. I know Gee has been great but is there a big that I should keep and eye out for?

Hoping for a solid game for Gee and a smart game from CJ.
Going to try and clean up the logos during the game (unless ESPN3 wants to crap out again).

hehe, I didn’t mean salsa wise, but since you’ve mentioned it, there are many worse people at dancing salsa, speaking to an argentine, I listened to a lot of argentine balados today, it would have been overwhelming if I didn’t enjoy it so much

body-wise. For me, currently all 3 are sitting on my couch, drinking beer, because it’s too damn hot to do anything else.
I enjoy having the one extra beer can at all times that’s cold and placing it on the middle of my chest. I like to believe that it makes my whole body at least 3 degrees cooler since it’s at the center. I sometimes have gone to sleep with it placed there. And althought I might be crazy for this to seem believable, it was actually taught to me by a sane ex-girlfriend when she had to endure the grueling summer in my apartment. I will always love her for that (and other things that are kinda cheesy at the moment). Anyways, I gave into The Man and bought and AC, but I still thought I should share it for those who haven’t given The Man shit!

This seems like a good time to share this story.
So last weekend I went to LA to hang out and watch the World Cup with my brother. He had some co-worker friends over. A couple of them were Lakers fans. (Note: my brother is smart, he hates the Lakers.)
I told him I’m a Spurs fan, we got to talking a bit about what had been going on in the summer. I mentioned I heard that RJ had surprisingly opted out of his contract. The guy says, “He signed with the Clippers!” I had been on the road, hadn’t checked the news for a couple days so for all I knew this was true. Still I say, “Really?? I haven’t heard anything.” He says, “Yeah the Clippers will take anyone.” Sounded believable enough.. I was pretty stoked to hear we’d been able to get rid of RJ (and was hoping this would mean we’d get someone else decent).
The next day I read up on PTR to confirm and of course find nothing of the sort.
And this sob Lakers fan (he was a bit drunk during the World Cup party) left that day without ever saying he was joking.
Moral: The Lakers suck. And their fans suck.
meh…

I was okay, but Lieberman played on the US National Team/Olympics at 18 years old. She played against the Globetrotters and was the oldest player in WNBA history. She’s been elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame and coached in numerous places. So, basically, she knows more than all of PtR combined.

"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
The frightening prospect of Gee/Hairston/James Jones as your starting SF is one driving factor in Spurs’ desire to bring back RJ, I think.

I agree, if we get Jones, then it’s nothing like RJ

by the little o on Jul 17, 2010 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions
I think RJ will be back though. Gee will probably be in Austin and Hairston might get time depending on what happens with Jones.
I think RJ will be back, but it’s much less probable than it was 2 weeks ago, or even 1 week ago. We could use him, but I really don’t think we need him. If he does leave, we’ll need either Hairston or Gee or whatever SF we pick up (James Jones) to step up their game. If he stays, we’ll need RJ to step up anyways. I think the longer we wait for RJ, the cheaper we’ll be able to get him though. So I hope the front office doesn’t flinch in their negotiations.

I don’t think signing RJ is a good idea. He’s 30 years old and he’s already in the downside of his career, plus he’s not a good fit for the system. He’s going to probably ask for a $35-40M/4-5yrs contract, thats not a good investment IMO.
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
I would take a chance on Gee.
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
And RJ will?
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
Considering most of the players who have been valuable over the years had better 2nd years than 1st years, I’ll take that chance.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t think Gee shouldn’t make the team. He is part of the near future.
Obviously if RJ isn’t working on his game hard, I’d not want him back, but from what I read, he is.
Right on.
I was an early critic of RJ last season — it was awful how he looked lost and out-of-sync with the rest of the team through much of the season — but his play in the Dallas series won me over. Not so much his stat line — he had a on-game/off-game pattern that was annoying, even disturbing — but even in some of his off-games, I saw an energy and desire that had been missing (at least until he started playing more with Manu). I truly believe that he’ll have a much better second year with the Spurs than his first; even if the only improvements he makes are more aggressive D and a 3 pt shooting percentage comparable to his pre-Spurs days, he’d be considered an asset to the team (imho).
The very fact that he’s been working with Pop during the summer is a great sign and highly indicative. Not just that RJ, a vet, would give up his summer to add aspects to his game that the Spurs want. The more telling indication to me is that Pop is taking the time to work with RJ; why would he do that if he wasn’t going to be a Spur next year.
And… do you think it was a surprise to Pop that RJ opted out of his final year? I’m pretty certain that he would have at least hinted to Coach that he was going in that direction, out of respect and a desire not to surprise him.
by freshtunarightofftheboat on Jul 17, 2010 10:42 PM CDT up reply actions
I get your points but, I dont think that give RJ a 4-5 year contract is a wise move. Who wants a 33-34 years old RJ on their team? Finley was able to get away with it because he could shoot, but RJ can’t, and once RJ athleticism is gone he is going to be useless.
I was all for bringing RJ back before he opted out, but now is a whole new scenario. I think our best bet is to sign Jones and a chance to Gee or Hairston, OR sign Barnes and Jones with the LLE and MLE
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
Well, Spurs can still retain Gee even if he weren’t going to play this season, so it is not really an either or situation.
A 4 year contract would be fine since he’d be 33 in his 3rd year and an expiring contract in the 4th. That would be a pretty good deal.
I still think the Spurs need Jones to gain more perimeter 3-point shooting, but if RJ can bring consistently what he started to bring in the last 3/4 of the season and some post season, he’ll bring exactly what the Spurs need. That and more consistent jump shooting.

CJ played really well in this game. He has played well throughout, really.
Even though Gee has been the star in Vegas, I am getting a little worried about his ability to make a shot outside of 8 feet.
…and other than Josh Lomers, our summer bigs have been pretty active. who called Lomers a light post with arms??? was that spot on or what? otherwise, the bigs have been doing a good job playing defense and rebounding.
Spurs vs Griz, half way through the first Q.
Spurs 20
Griz 2
13 – 0 run from Neal.
At this rate we’ll end the game 100 to 10.
lol, Neal has been scorching.

Gee is crazy athletic, aggressive and he plays a very physical game but so did Jefferson before he came to the Spurs. I’m worried that if he can’t hit the three he won’t be able to help that much. Unless we start running more next year.
The Spurs shoud keep him because he’s definetely telented but I think we need to bring a shooter too.
"Deep down we all know that swagger comes hand in hand with insecurity. We strut not to convince competitors of our dominance; we strut to convince ourselves."
Matthew Powell
Well, the problem is RJ doesn’t drive to the basket as much as he used to. It seems Gee is more apt to even without being on the break. Hairston is somewhat like that as well.
I just worry that Gee, like Jefferson, will defer to the stars instead of looking for his own offense. And he probably should. He is talented but in the NBA he won’t be able to score at will like he seems to do in the D-League and summer league. I would love for Pop to give the guy free rein to see what he’s got but somehow I doubt he will. Maybe his shot is better than I give him credit for, so it won’t be an issue.
"Deep down we all know that swagger comes hand in hand with insecurity. We strut not to convince competitors of our dominance; we strut to convince ourselves."
Matthew Powell
He did pretty well in his NBA stint with the Wiz. Obviously, the system was sorta in shambles over there, but it still is a good sign. If it’s RJ and the Hairston/Gee platoon, the one who fits better will get more time.
Ideally Spurs would pick up another shooter like Butler (one of the only ones left).
A while back there was a ‘no name’ defense in the NFL. The Spurs summer league team has no big draft names playing and they have taken Vegas by storm!
I wonder where they will show up in the NBA, if they do
by LakehillsFan on Jul 18, 2010 4:42 PM CDT up reply actions
some one else said this before, but this summer league team really is proof that the Spur’s system works… Temple, Gist, Blair, and Hairston are not playing and yet we still own.
Perhaps that’s why we never tried to get Blair or Hairston out there, we knew it wouldnt show us anything
