    Also he played like the entire 2nd qtr. plust the touch fouls.

    Thabeet has been far from being bad. He just needs to box out...

    Jordan Hill looks like he'll be our starting center barring any trades.

    Thabeet needs to quit jumping in the air at every fake. He's tall enough to stay grounded and jump if necessary.

    The Rockets had a $25,000 courtside chair for T-Mac?

    Jordan Hill has looked ok at times, consistency will be the key. Not convinced about Thabeet. T-Will and Morris looked below average. Flynn settled down later.

    Good first half. Seeing this unit together, has made me really warm up to the idea of Dalambert. We need a legit center that can play some defense. We don't NEED any offense out of him. We already have some scorers in Lowry, Scola, and Martin.

    Im hoping to see some more Morris. He didn't show much in his limited time

    Thabeet could be in the running as well if he continues to play like that (minus the fouling...)

    Loving Hill/Scola/Thabeet. Loving Lowry/Flynn/Dragic. Swingmen gotta get it together.

    I don't mind Thabeet's fouling. Better than the layups we saw last year.


    FOUL THE **** OUT OF PEOPLE THABEET!

    Over half of the Spurs' points have come from FTs. These refs will need more than 2 preseason games to be ready to call real games.

    Morris barely played...like what 4 mins? In the triple threat though he looked good using the pump fake to create space for a open shot...was very Melo like instead that Melo would hit the shot.

    IIRC Yao Ming was a foul machine in his first year and then began to understand the calls. I am encouraged by Thabeet's play, despite the fouls. T-Will, M-Mo and Flynn were less than impressive for being All-Stars to be.

    Thabeet needs to stay away from those cheap fouls but it's nice having someone taller than 6'6" in the middle.
