Utah @ San Antonio, 4/9/11 6:30 pm

Jimmer has San Antonio written all over him.

He's the type of guy they'd pickup. A guy that can come in and for 20 mins rain 3s down on other teams.

We desperately need to get some 3 pt shooters this offseason. Not just one or two, but multiple. The losses of Memo, Korver, and Wes really show in games like these.

Hayward is better with the ball in his hands, CJ is best on the bench, Raja's career is nearly over, and Devin Harris struggles from the outside.

We literally have no one right now that can shoot (consistently) from the outside.

Drafting one and trading for one would be ideal.
None of the three point shooters warrant a 6th pick except Barnes and he is probably not coming out.
At 12 would be a great opportunity though. I would be looking at Lamb first if he declares, then Fredette, and Mirotic.

I would agree.

Watched some of the game last night. Jefferson sucks on defense - it's amazing he's as bad on D as Boozer. I was pleased to see GH playing decent defense. His passing/court vision/defense is better than advertised. He's going to be a good player for a long time, and he's definitely going to improve. I want to see how much Harris improves next year - I don't know how comfortable he is with the offense - his assist number is low. Overall, the Spurs had so many easy shots. It drove me crazy. Jefferson drove me crazy.

As bad a booz? really? The guy is the best shot blocker we have had since the 2006 AK.

Gasol had 12 points, 12 easy points in Q1, on Big Al. Blocks are nice but do not tell the whole story. Sometimes you can get blocks from playing lazy D: let the guy get by you a bit and then block from behind or the side. Thus he gets a lot of good looks but you get a block or two.

Agreed. Anyone who watched the SA game could see AJ's inferior defense on display. He cheated on D and went for steals on numerous occasions - failing miserably. Blair, Splitter and Duncan exposed AJ.

obviously everyone here wants Hayward to succeed, but come on. you're just trying to see something where nothing existed.

he did nothing in this game. zip. he played 34 minutes and his "passing" and "court vision" resulted in ONE assist, ONE rebound, two turnovers, and only seven shots.

if he was playing as well as you described, it would be apparent in the numbers (see the Lakers game). in this game, and about 75 others this season, it wasn't
