T-Mac dunked over Shawn Bradely. I’ve never seen Ginobili dunk on a 7 footer. T-Mac has a better jump shot, is a better playmaker, and is just as athletic.

WoW u guys DO NOT KNOW GINOBILI @ ALL!!!! U really think T Mac is better than Ginobili talent-wise??? Ill give T Mac some credit 4 being a scorer, but Ginobili is WAY better as a shooter and driver. He can dunk over Yoa Ming and make kobe look like a standby…T Mac cant do that anyway with those gimpy knees of his…he should really consider retirement…from the playoffs that is (hes NEVER going to make to the semifinal even if his team wins 24+ games in a row in one season) THATS why Ginobili is better talent-wise…

Lol @ Ian

Tmac is light years ahead of Ginobli talent wise and since both have basically not played for 2 years as much as Spurs LOVE Ginobli;

Hes a second rate McGrady (with 1/5 the skill; ill be generous)

celtics probably have the best match-ups to challenge the lakers

@rangerjohn

Camby would be the dream scenario; a trade for Gortat would probably be out of the question. Its going to be really tough to find someone who is going to be able to match up with Bynum (I’ve been to 2 preseason games and he is ready to take the step all the crazed die-hards said he took 2 years ago). Blair will most likely be useless against the lakers because of front court match ups unless he can magically handle Gasol, Chuck Hayes style. Mcdyess will have to match Odom’s and Gasol’s athleticism. Duncan isn’t going to be able to handle Bynum down low unless he can get him in foul trouble quick. I guess my answer to your question is I have no clue. Camby and Gortat are the only guys I think could get the job done who could potentially be available. Maybe you guys should trade for chuck hayes and stick him on Bynum and hope Chuck can work his post defense magic. Spurs still have a uphill battle no matter what, in order to take out the lakers

i like u but u get a big FUCK U from me today please more injure prone the tmac? goh 1/10 the skills please man let me know when tmac hits the second round the only thing the team needed to advance was his punk ass injured while the spurs lost manu and lost in the first round with duncan ever. to much proof to back my case
lets not forget tmac has 1/10 the heart

WOW chris is predicting injury and a 1st round exit? thats crazy. this team is A LOT deeper then last years team, so figure manu is out, dyess and jefferson combined are already better then the core from last season. if duncan goes down instead, well he will be missed but between blair and dyess and the other mix of bigs they can get through on a perimiter game. as long as they dont somehow end up in the 8th spot facing the lakers they get AT LEAST to second round , multiple injuries are a different story.

cynic, who would you suggest? i like a mason/bonner/mahinmi for camby trade since last yrs deadline. mason is already replaced by jefferson/manu to easy, plus hill will be taking his minutes too. bonner would be easily replaced by camby other then the 3 ball but the defense would be light years better, and mahinmi has shown he can be an all-star in the d-league but thats about it.

The Spurs are a solid big man away from legitimately challenging the Lakers. Ratliff isn’t going to cut it

Spurs are going to be a force in the league as long as TP and TD are doing their thing. Gregg’s system is PERFECT for those two players, and those two players are PERFECT for the system, it’s a match made in heaven and short of one of those two dying or retiring, it can be executed over and over and there’s almost nothing any team can do about it.

Adding the new players just gives them a boost to help them get a good seed in the playoffs.

Manu being an old man and more injury prone than Tmac (but with 1/10th the skills) doesn’t do anything to help or hinder the Spurs, because he isn’t really an impact at all.

damn chris…. lot of negativity there

Say Ginobli is out again… u dont think Jefferson and Mcdyess take them to the conference finals at the least? Team is deep and whatever they are lacking they will surely pick up at the trade deadline….

coaching is too good for them to have all that talent and not even play the lakers for the west title….

who else could contend outside LA? hornets jazz rockets suns are all worse than previous years… mavs straight up roster to roster aren’t as talented and they have worse coaching than the spurs… nuggets aren’t deep AT ALL, they lost people and got nobody back but a future pg in Lawson… I mean I just dont see anyone outside of LA being able to hang
