my fav is #8. patented triple clutch. never been duplicated in the nba.

No.

Players want to be paid.

The spurs are weird. Their guys don't seem to care about their own salaries.

That's also why the Spurs chase euro players. There is much less "me first, screw everyone else" mentality when it comes down to team and money.
Won't happen with haywards and boozers around.

duncan did make max money for awhile. but he took a pay cut. but obviously he is no longer a max guy.

current salary

duncan - $10 mil
parker - $12 mil
manu - $7.5 mil
splitter - $10 mil

manu should make more, but he is still a 6th man. splitter is getting over paid.

and remember no state tax. so parker making $12 million is like making $18 mil in NY. they are making enough money and there is no reason to play for other teams because they think of playing for spurs as a true blessing. i remember parker and manu saying that in interview.

....are you saying they don't play "hopper" ball in Europe?

......and there is no reason to play for other teams because they think of playing for spurs as a true blessing. i remember parker and manu saying that in interview.

....I remember a Malone interview, which I'd love to find again, in which he was asked why he doesn't move to another team as a free agent? He said something to the effect "if I move to another team, I have to play with a different point guard, a guy who is more than likely to swallow the ball or throw it into the stands! I'm staying the John Stockton....I know what he's going to do with the ball!"

No. Hoppers get benched in Europe. You don't pass when you should and go even dunk from the 3 point line, you sit your *** down. A good coach should remind his players what comes first.

...well, as the hoppers would say....."true dat!"

you a racist, man?

 

[Hekate]

Where is everyone?

 

[8]

Where is everyone?

Watching gaycer

I am here!

.....1st quarter hose job by the refs keeping this game close! At least 3 "phantom" fouls called on the Spurs. I doubt it will matter, though. Spurs are just too good! I suspect Lebron will be slap worn out by the 4th quarter going 1 on 1 most of the time.

 

[carolinajazz]

....looks like there back to giving Wade two shots....if you breath on him!

 

[8]

Ginobli with awesome move

 

[Hekate]

That lay-up by Ginobili was beautiful.

 

[8]

Holy **** ginobli!

 

[8]

Ginobili

 

[8]

Manu is so fun to watch when he's rolling like right now

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Didn't even need much space to let that 3 fly. Beautiful second quarter.

 

[Hekate]

Last year I tweeted that Ginobili should retire. I have never been this wrong.

 

[carolinajazz]

.....now, if there is no exchange of money between the NBA and the refs at halftime.....the Spurs win this game handily!
