I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I love that the underdog won. On the other, I hate that New York won… and now I can’t cheer for anyone in the NFC championship cause I hate the 49ers…

The Giants are such a strange team. They will win against the most difficult of opponents and also fuck up royally when everyone thinks they’re playing well.

We are a contender. We finally have the potential to be an elite defensive team, which means we will be in the hunt. Sure, we need a little luck with injuries and peaking at the right time, but so does every team.

We are super solid at the wings. The front court is the biggest problem but if Tiago continues to develop and Blair keeps his weight in check we might have a fighting chance.

Toros beat the Reno Bighorns earlier today. Da’Sean Butler moved into the starting lineup in place of Eric Dawson, who received a DNP-Coaches Decision. Dawson might be joining some NBA team, as he’s been the Toros best big. Butler wound up with 12 points and 7 rebounds, one of 5 Toros is double figures. They were led again by PG Justin Dentmon with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Leading the scoring for the Bighorns was former Spur PG Blake Ahearn with 24 points. Ahearn was mentioned by this morning’s Express News as a “veteran” PG’s the Spurs might consider signing.
Just curious Alamo, do you watch the Toros live often?
by silverandblack_davis on Jan 15, 2012 7:46 PM CST up reply actions
No, just look at the reports after the game mostly. It is possible to watch their games over the internet, but I usually only think of it after the game is over with.
I see. Hey, thanks for the regular updates. Good to know who’s doing well there.

Last year I can recall paying attention to the DLeague draft and who were the final 3 training camp cuts to be eligible to be added to the roster (Marcus Cousin being one). This year I hadn’t even noticed the DLeague was under way until the Spurs started their own camp. I thought that Butler was perhaps finished with the Spurs when I suddenly noticed he was with the Toros.
I thought the D-League did not get affected by the lockout? I remember reading about games while the lockout was still in effect.
by silverandblack_davis on Jan 15, 2012 8:01 PM CST up reply actions
Right, it didn’t get affected other than I didn’t know it had begun. I’ve no idea what the draft was like this year for the DLeague, missed it entirely.
A bit less interesting now that it is well into the season, but his note explains how they got Dentmon:
Austin Toros: The Toros actually were not included on this part when I first published it because, due to a clerical error, I didn’t count Justin Dentmon as part of their haul on draft day (he was traded by the Texas Legends for the No. 2 pick). Whenever a team is able to pick up a near-NBA talent that can shore up all of the backcourt needs, well, it’s worth it.
Wow, so I guess Dentmon does deserve a good look and a shot at making an NBA roster.
by silverandblack_davis on Jan 15, 2012 8:18 PM CST up reply actions
I’’ve no idea how Dentmon looks on defense and he is listed at 6’0", but his offensive stats have looked great in the boxscores. He’s scored over 20 in 10 of 13 games while having either 18 or 19 in the other 3. He’s also averaging over 5 assists. As he’s 26 years old, I’d think take a look and let him sit on the Spurs bench as an emergency PG and give Joseph more playing time in Austin.
Judging from how much he scores, I think he won’t be able to fill the void that Ford’s injury created. I’d rather look for a guard who’s willing to set his teammates up first.
by silverandblack_davis on Jan 15, 2012 7:56 PM CST up reply actions
You mean not like Tony Parker? He’s been getting a fair number of assists, and I imagine he’d adjust to whatever Pop asks of him. I’m thinking he’d mainly just be around for an emergency much like Quinn last year unless he was able to prove himself otherwise.
I mean, he’s a bit more like TP in that he scores a lot. Any idea if he’s a good shooter from mid- to long-range?

As a Bears fan, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to laugh at the packers right now. However, as a Spurs fan, I know that people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I’ll take 15 and 1.
I'm not as good as I once was...and that's just the cold, hard truth.

I’m predicting big games from Blairgo Desplitter and Danny Green. I’m thinking our two young bigs will combine for approximately 35-18-4-3-2. Green and Kawhi should combine for another 25 points, 3 blocks, and 2 steals.

Pass the ball to Splitter and get the hell out of the way.

THAT was what we want from Splitter.
I'm not as good as I once was...and that's just the cold, hard truth.
Bonner with another monster board.
I never take the high road, but I tell other people to, that way there is more room for me on the low road.
Rebounding machine, he can do it all.
Kevin Love just a cheap imitation of the REAL Deal

True but kick out from who? Cory isn’t getting inside and they won’t double Splots
"I've got Tim (Duncan) and you don't. That's the difference." -Gregg Popovich
It’s because Neal is handling the ball for so long. Cory or Danny won’t be able to get inside if they don’t have the ball.

I figured it out – CIA Pop has put Tiago with a bunch of players who are obviously nowhere near as good as he is, and he gains confidence, becomes a monster…. Sweetness

Maybe he feels that he doesn’t have to defer to anyone, not being in with any of the Big Three…

He can be Euroleague Tiago again!
