    Luis Scola's nickname should be "Mr. Montana."

    "Big Manu" is glorifying Ginobili a bit much. I could understand it if Manu was long retired but not now

    Carl and Luis are so big for us, they are so good ! I love it ! They deserve the love, cause they have been AMAZING hands down, they made the difference tonight in a HUGE game, they stepped up in Crunch Time. And they are rookies.

    Thanks Daryl Morey, what would we have done without you ?

    Landry is just amazing...

    When he goes up for a rebound his head is almost at the rim level :eek:

    Landry is very impressive. If he keeps this consistent play, he'll get more and more minutes, and it's more probable to see Hayes have his minutes decreased.

    I wasn't that impressed with Brooks. Dribbled into traffic and didn't finish a bunch of times. Threw up some 3 ptrs and missed em. Got stripped dribbling into the lane a few times. Although he was pretty good at beating the press.

    Ab is still nervous but once he is confident with his shooting, he will be good.
    But his size made him difficult to drive into the paint because he will be blocked unless he developed a high angle lob/shots. Landry is simply amazing and he is now the guy that is inspiring the fans and he is simply impressive.

    Trade T-Mac and Yao.

    The new core is Scola, Landry and Brooks.

    Our rookies are doing great job. I also appreciate RA's confidence in rookies. If JVG is still our coach...?

    I was wondering the same thing. Is there any way Van Gundy would've ever played 3 rookies?

    Nope, he would not have played 3 rookies. Especially AB when he is playing nervous and missing shots. Scola probably would also be out in JVG plan.
    JVG just don't trust rookie especially in clutch time or in the 4th.

    Love these Rookies more and more.

    They not only play with heart, but with energy, with skills, with all is wanted from a rookie!

    In the game over Portland, it's just the three rookies who pushed us a great win in the last quarter!

    We are # 1 in the league in rebounding percentage
    Chuck is our best rebounder per 48 minutes
    He gets more rebounds per 48 than the 8 foot tall guy next to him
    No apology necessary
