Game Thread #80 - @ LA Lakers

Glass Half Empty: Shitty commentators.

I hate saying this but I think it is going to be a blow out loss. We also are in trouble Monday at SAC. The game Wednesday against Utah may end up being for home court advantage in the first round.

let's see what the guys can do.

"We're gonna send a statement today.  Shots are going to fall, and Kobe's going to get locked down.  The bench is going to step up.  I'm looking at you, Findog."

Matt Bonner is on the hook for the next two years at $3M. Yikes! I like the Rocket, but come on.

JV is back for another season at $1M. Want to know why JV is on the Spurs? A bargain price, but the talent to match.

Timmeh, Wee French, Sickness and Mr Potato Head locked up for several years. Nice core and a great job by the Buford keeping these dudes on the hook.

Bones back for next year. One more out of Bones, that is good thing. $1.2M for all he brings on and off the court? I will take that. Money well paid, provided he can stay healthy.

Ime back for $1M. A good deal. He could pull down more else where.

Mahi Mahi is on the books for the next four years? Payments balloon up to $3M? WTF? I hope there is some contract voodoo I missing here. What are we paying him in Monopoly money? Buford T. couldn't have dropped the ball on this did he?

The list of free agents is fairly short.

Kurt, makes $8M. A pretty heavy price for an old guy with no hops. I say, look for younger legs.

Horry. Has to ride into the sunset.

Fin. Thanks for all you have done, but you got to go bro.

Fab. Re-sign this boy fast.

The midget. Oh, he is so gone.

My wish list is height, length, hops and young legs. But, Pop apparently is just going to slap together another aging team filled with cast offs and bargains. Troy Hudson still out there? Muggsy Boges available? Spud Webb sightings? Maybe bring back old man river T. Port?

If we here Pop keep talking small ball, then that means the shoe is dropping again. The Spurs org is just saving cost and surrounding Pop with old guys that pose no threat to his authority.

Have a bad knee? Over 35? Your backed pretty much given out? Hey, give Pop a call, he might be interested for a super saver fare.
