I want Delfino to start since that would actually be the most familiar and safe lineup, but I want us try out DMO/Robinson 20 ish minutes a game until we find the right fit to take over as our starting 4.
I say Robinson, even if he only plays 18-25 minutes, that way D-Mo backs him up and when we go small there is time for delfino and parsons together
I think you start Dmo right now. He's more ready than T-Rob in the post and can move the ball well - high bball IQ... He's just more experienced. Possibly T-Rob next year. Let Greg and T-Rob bring muscle off the bench.
Until a final decision is made, Delfino. But I would look forward to D mo starting soon with T Jones and then T Rob backing.
I thought the same thing. I've actually been to Turkey before, but they are Middle Eastern. Some proof: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/mes/ (first paragraph, center) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East But you are also right, they are Asian and European as well. Depending on what part of Turkey they are in. Asik would be considered European because he's from the West part of Istanbul, from my understanding.
After the Morey presser seems like they're going to bring Robinson along slowly. With the spacing necessary for Lin, Harden, Asik, and Parsons to be effective on the floor together, the 5th guy HAS to be a decent shooter, so Smith would not be the best option. Will have to be DMo or Delfino. I'm leaning towards DMo (with a short leash).
I like Delfino coming off the bench a bit more...just because he gives us a play maker off the bench and he can look for his own shot...Beverly and Delfino would be more effective than Beverly and DMo... Time is now for DMo and TJones to show what they worked on...they will be called upon...and they'll need to deliver
well part of turkey..and actually the guy is mixing races with nationalities. Ok ready for the non-PC iteration of races? BOOM goes the dynamite: Harden--black Parsons-White Lin--Asian (technically he is 'yellow.' yes, this is a used description although not very PC. Asian is widely inaccurate anyways since South Asians are darker brown, etc.) Asik--white (he is a white turk) D-Mo--white Delfino--technically he is white/hispanic. Hispanic is not a racial description but rather a cultural moniker. You can be white, black, asian, mixed hispanic as long as you have a spanish last name, ie. a name derived from Spain. 99% of argentines are European descended from Spain, Italy and Germany--they are basically all white and although may have a spanish last name could be considered "white hispanic." Although if you have an italian name like Ginobili you are Latin but not hispanic. Just to make it more confusing, Brazilians ARE NOT hispanic. They are Lusitanic--meaning culturally, they come from Portugal. Terms like hispanic, african american come from the United States and were developed by cultural groups and PC police to create political classes/identities. They are all derived from politicians-not scientists (the way race classifications are). Hispanic doesnt exist in latin countries other than how we define them. That is all.
So we have African American Anglo American Asian American Argentinian Dominican Lithuanian Turk Did I miss any?
When I was in Pakistan, I traveled throughout the country. I saw guys in the south that were very very dark and looked like they had to be mixed with Africans. Then in the northwest, I saw blue eyed-green eyed natural red heads-blondes-light brown haired folks that looked like they were mixed with Europeans and Jewish ancestry. Then in the north East, these guys looked heavily mixed with Chinese and one guy even told me his tribe was Japanese mixed with Northern Pakistanis in Kashmir. These guys were all Pakistani though. Hell, the Aryan race comes from that region. I met quite a few Aryans. After that, my race radar was completely out of whack so I just let people tell me what they want. I honestly have no reason to guess anymore. I'd be wrong too large a percentage of time to even think about opening my mouth. Viva la world melting pot!
Probably TRob, Dmo has shown some sparks here and there, but I haven't see anything that made me go "Holy ****, he needs to play a lot more." He can score, but he's very meh on defense.
i think we can start big and go small later: starters - asik, robinson, parsons, harden, lin fast lineup - donuts, parsons, delfino, harden, lin bench - smith, jones, garcia, anderson, beverly doghouse - white
Delfino if we want to have any hope of making the playoffs. But it is really going to be tricky. I really like Greg Smith to start, but I guess he is now our backup center.
I like Greg Smith too. I just need him to develop some nastiness, more post moves, and stop being in foul trouble.
